In the homily at New Bedford for Tuesday of the 3rd Week of Easter (May 07), Fr. Andre relates the ignorance of the enemies of Christ in the present age with the ignorance of the crowds in today’s Gospel; they ignored all the signs in the Old Testament that should have enabled them to recognize Christ as the Messiah. Our Lady is the “sign” for our times, so we need Marian catechesis in our day, particularly for the conversion and salvation of the enemies of the Church.

Ave Maria!

Mass: Tuesday 3rd Week of Easter – Wkdy

The post Virgin Mary, Sign for Our Times – May 07 – Homily – Fr. Andre first appeared on AirMaria.com.

     Oh, for the peace of a perfect trust, my loving God, in Thee; unwavering faith, that never doubts Thou chooses best for me!

     Best, though my plans be all upset; best, though the way be rough; best, though my earthly store be scant; in Thee I have enough.

     Best, though my health and strength be gone, though weary days be mine, shut out from much that others have; not my will, Lord, but Thine!

     And even though disappointments come, they, too, are best for me; to wean me from this changing world, and lead me nearer Thee.

     Oh, for the peace of a perfect trust that looks away from all; that sees the Thy hand in everything, in great events or small!

     That hears that Thy voice –a Father’s voice– directing for the best, oh, for the peace of a perfect trust, a heart with Thee at rest!

On the Memorial of Saints Pontian, Pope, and Hippolytus, Priest, Martyrs (Martyrs, Aug 13,2019), Fr. Andre exhorts believers to boycott those powers who seek to corrupt the faith and morals of children and the “little ones” to whom Jesus refers in today’s Gospel (Mt 18:1-5, 10, 12-14).

Our Lord tells us that only those who are “like children” will enter the Kingdom of heaven. Christians therefore have a responsibility to oppose the destroyers of morality—not only through prayer but also by means of economic sanction, boycotting worldly enterprises that seek to destroy the innocence of “little ones.” Christians need to put their money where their faith is, and stop feeding the Beast!

Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Aug 17, 2021, on how poverty is often more of a blessing than wealth because it is easier to get into heaven without wealth especially if we are attached to it as is the tendency. Added to this is the fact that the richest people are not the happiest because we tend to trust in wealth for happiness yet only God can satisfy, so we must trust in Him, both for happiness in this life and as the key to heaven.
