Homily #131226n ( 08min) Play – Fr. Angelo comments on the seeming paradox of how the  liturgical celebration of Christmas is extended through an entire week, the  Octave of Christmas, but the individual days are dedicated to martyrs. It seems strange that the day following Christmas, today, is dedicated to the first Christian martyr, St. Stephen. However, as Father shows us, sacrifice and Christmas are intimately linked, Christ came into this world to sacrifice Himself for our salvation, and the liturgy is showing us we are to imitate His example of self-sacrifice as the 37 Christians killed yesterday in Iraq did.

Mary Now #16 ( 05min) Play – Dr. Mark Miravalle comments on the recent Paris ISIS attacks and the question that so many are asking of how can this terrorist group can be defeated. He points out that given the diabolical nature of the organization it can only be defeated by Our Lady who is destined to crush Satan’s head and only if we join together in prayer.

Dr. Mark Miravalle asks us to make a prayerful response to the recent terrorist attack in Turkey, suggesting that there is little that can be done politically to stop these terrible tragedies. He asks us to pray for the victims and their families but also take personal peace in our unpeaceful world by drawing closer to the God of peace by fostering our personal prayer life. This will thwart the intent of the extremists to cause terror.

The tragic evil directed against America sixteen years ago today urges us still today, as in the case of present evils, to respond with a spirit of Christian faith. As we remember our loss and pray for the dead and those yet to be reconciled, let us practice Christian peace based on conversion and faithful obedience to the will of God.

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!

Ave Maria!

PANAMA CITY – Victims of violence, abuse, abortion, terrorism, natural disasters, human trafficking, forced migration and “many other signs of death and loneliness” were at the core of a Way of the Cross meditation led by Pope Francis on Friday in Panama’s coastal beltway with the ocean as the backdrop.In the face of such suffering, the pontiff held up the example of Mary.

“In Mary, we learn the strength to be able to say ‘yes’ to those who have refused to remain silent in the face of a culture of mistreatment and abuse, disparagement and aggression, and who work to provide opportunities and to create an atmosphere of safety and protection,” Francis said.

“In Mary, we learn how to welcome and take in all those abandoned, and forced to leave or lose their land, their roots, their families and their work,” he continued. “Like Mary, we want to be a Church that fosters a culture that welcomes, protects, promotes and integrates; that does not stigmatize, much less indulge in a senseless and irresponsible condemnation of every immigrant as a threat to society.”
