Prayer for Grace for our Country

Dear Father united to Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present, celebrated around the world, in the Holy Spirit. We offer up all we do united to the Mass. We unite in one mind and one heart as members of the mystical body of Christ, with Christ our head in the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary, through the powerful intercession of Mary with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory, and we beg for the saving grace, for our country, the United States. Please help us. We further pray for unity to always do the will of God in love. We spread the Blood of Jesus on the leaders and people of the United States and cast the devil into hell. We consecrate our country to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and all our dioceses, and beg for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God help us. We pray for our families, the priests, the Church and the world. In the Name of Jesus please hear us, we pray. We pray for our new president as he takes office. We pray that we are united as one nation under God to work together in love as God wants.

Proverbs 31: 10-13, 19-20, 30-31

Aleph   The truly capable woman—who can find her?
                She is far beyond the price of pearls.

Bet       Her husband’s heart has confidence in her,
                from her he will derive no little profit.

Gimel   Advantage and not hurt she brings him
                all the days of her life.

Dalet    She selects wool and flax,
                she does her work with eager hands.

Yod       She sets her hands to the distaff,
                her fingers grasp the spindle.

Kaph    She holds out her hands to the poor,
                she opens her arms to the needy.

Shin      Charm is deceitful, and beauty empty;
                the woman who fears Yahweh is the one to praise.

Taw       Give her a share in what her hands have worked for,
                and let her works tell her praises at the city gates.

 

Psalm 128: 1-5

How blessed are all who fear Yahweh,
    who walk in his ways!

Your own labours will yield you a living,
    happy and prosperous will you be.
Your wife a fruitful vine
    in the inner places of your house.
Your children round your table
    like shoots of an olive tree.

Such are the blessings that fall
    on those who fear Yahweh.
May Yahweh bless you from Zion!
May you see Jerusalem prosper
    all the days of your life,
and live to see your children’s children!

Peace to Israel!

 

1 Thessalonians 5: 1-6

About times and dates, brothers, there is no need to write to you for you are well aware in any case that the Day of the Lord is going to come like a thief in the night. It is when people are saying, ‘How quiet and peaceful it is’ that sudden destruction falls on them, as suddenly as labour pains come on a pregnant woman; and there is no escape.

    But you, brothers, do not live in the dark, that the Day should take you unawares like a thief. No, you are all children of light and children of the day: we do not belong to the night or to darkness, so we should not go on sleeping, as everyone else does, but stay wide awake and sober.

 

Matthew 25: 14-30

‘It is like a man about to go abroad who summoned his servants and entrusted his property to them. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to a third one, each in proportion to his ability. Then he set out on his journey. The man who had received the five talents promptly went and traded with them and made five more. The man who had received two made two more in the same way. But the man who had received one went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.  Now a long time afterwards, the master of those servants came back and went through his accounts with them. The man who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more. “Sir,” he said, “you entrusted me with five talents; here are five more that I have made.” His master said to him, “Well done, good and trustworthy servant; you have shown you are trustworthy in small things; I will trust you with greater; come and join in your master’s happiness.” Next the man with the two talents came forward. “Sir,” he said, “you entrusted me with two talents; here are two more that I have made.” His master said to him, “Well done, good and trustworthy servant; you have shown you are trustworthy in small things; I will trust you with greater; come and join in your master’s happiness.” Last came forward the man who had the single talent. “Sir,” said he, “I had heard you were a hard man, reaping where you had not sown and gathering where you had not scattered; so I was afraid, and I went off and hid your talent in the ground. Here it is; it was yours, you have it back.” But his master answered him, “You wicked and lazy servant! So you knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered? Well then, you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have got my money back with interest.  So now, take the talent from him and give it to the man who has the ten talents.  For to everyone who has will be given more, and he will have more than enough; but anyone who has not, will be deprived even of what he has. As for this good–for–nothing servant, throw him into the darkness outside, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.”

 

 

33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time

November 16, 2014

INTRODUCTION – (Proverbs 31: 10-13,19-20,30-31; 1 Thes. 5: 1-6; Matthew 25: 14-30)Our first reading from the Book of Proverbs was written in the wisdom tradition of the Old Testament. Other books in the wisdom tradition include the Book of Wisdom, Ecclesiastes (aka Qoheleth), Song of Songs, Sirach and Job. This collection of writings was meant to help people search for and find wisdom. Today's passage describes the ideal wife, one who exemplifies all the elements of wisdom. The passage is meant to compliment the gospel which gives us a parable about three servants who received enormous gifts from their master; two of the three used their gift wisely, the third did not.

HOMILY – The gospel of Matthew contains five major speeches of Jesus. The first of those speeches is the Sermon on the Mount. There are four other lengthy teachings of Jesus. Today's gospel is from the last major speech and it is called the Eschatological Discourse. Eschatological means Jesus is talking to us about the last things: the end of the world, the coming of the Son of Man on the last day, the last judgment, and the arrival of God's kingdom in its fullness.

    That is the context for today's gospel. The return of the master (the Lord) represents the last judgment when the Lord will ask each of us "what did you do with the gifts I have given you?" The gifts that had been given to the servants were talents, which was a certain weight of gold or silver. Commentators cannot give a clear idea of what a talent was worth. I've seen it valued as anything from $1000 to a million dollars. Whatever, for simple people who were usually paid each day just enough to survive the next day, a talent was a lot of money. It might be interesting to mention it was through familiarity with this word talent in today's gospel that in the Middle Ages the word talent came to mean a special gift of being able to do something well.

    Note, the master does not tell his servants what to do with the money. He obviously expects them to follow the example he had always shown them, to use the time they had as they waited for his return, to increase what they had been given. I probably would not have been too hard on the third servant who buried his money. Burying the money was a prudent thing, so it would not be found or stolen. The master, however, in his wisdom saw it as laziness.

    There is one thing about the money that is important but which we don't notice until the end of the parable. The master was giving the money to his servants, not in order to get it back, but as a personal gift to each of them. Apparently, they didn't know that until the master said "take the talent from him (the one who buried it) and give it to the one with the ten talents." God doesn't want back the gifts he gives us; he wants us to use them to help others and to increase them in ourselves. He doesn't want us to bury them in the ground until we see our end is near and then we can dig them up so as to return them to the Lord.

    We've been told many times that using the gifts we've been given, whatever they might be, will help us be successful in this life. Jesus wants us to be successful spiritually by using the spiritual gifts we've been given, the Scriptures, the Sacraments, the time we can use for prayer, being good to others, and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. If we do nothing with the graces and opportunities God has given us, it will not be a good thing. There will be more next week about the Last Judgment - how those who put their gifts and talents to good use were happy they did, while those who held on to them just for themselves ended up deeply regretting it. Amen.

$ 10.00

Guiding Light homily series — Reflect on the Word — Cycle B     The Word leaves an impression on our souls. In my thoughts and reflections are born a more tangible understanding of these eternal concepts presented in the Gospels and the readings. Anyone can read a sentence, but not anyone can absorb it's true meaning. Truth, in this day and age, is almost a matter of opinion or individual entitlement. We believe that Christ's truth is our Roman Catholic Church. We, as priests, champion it's teachings; we are ambassadors for the Pope and Christ to those faces looking at us. We are the light by which our congregation reads to reflect upon real truth and we do it hand in hand. $15

Guiding Light - Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Liturgical Year
$ 10.00

Guiding Light homily series — Steadfast to the Son — Cycle A    The sunflower is a great example of how we should be steadfastly guided by light. What a powerful thought that this exceptional plant is not stuck in one pose day in and day out, yet adaptable and magnetized to the sun. We feel the same about our Son. Our heads turns to face Christ as each day presents its challenges to find light. We join together like plants in a field and soak up the Son through the pulpit. We are a warm circle of strength using the wind of our breath to carry our priests' words, Christ's words, to new rich soil. $15

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 10.00

Guiding Light — Focusing on the Word — Cycle B    At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $15

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical Year
$ 10.00

Guiding Light — Feed My Soul — Cycle C    In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $15

"This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our—selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
