TWENTY SIXTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, September 26, 2010

COSTING NO LESS THAN EVERYTHING
Sometimes love costs no less than everything.
Parents know this in bringing up children in love; and then it costs a lot to let them go, as they make their way through life, finding their own feet, forming their own families.
And the love of God opens the door to people who are poor; if we fail to recognise the poor in our world we are missing God.
And we know that a passion for wealth can close us off from other people as we fail to see their needs and get into competition with them.
The call of the Lord is to give of ourselves for others, even when it hurts; and into a love which shares with those who are poor.
His love calls us, and when we live in this love of giving and receiving, we are the most blessed of people.

TWENTY FIRST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, August 22, 2010

GREATER POWER WATCHING
There was a nature show on television about a black bear that gave birth to two cubs. One cub died right away. Three weeks later the mother died and the remaining cub was left to fend for itself. An orphaned cub in that condition is like a walking buffet for predators. And of course the camera immediately showed a hungry-looking mountain lion. One day the orphan cub encountered a giant male black bear. The little cub cowered at the bear's sheer mass. The larger bear peered around and seemed to realize that the mother bear wasn't anywhere to be found. He gave the little cub a friendly nudge. The camera then showed the little bear happily trailing along after the larger one. The adoption papers were signed, sealed and registered at the county seat in that nudge. Papa bear proceeded to show the cub how to grub for insects and how to catch fish and how to scratch his back against a tree. One day the two bears became separated. The cub began to cry and looked frantically for his new father, but couldn't find him anywhere. The cub approached a stream where he'd learned to fish and something caught his attention. He looked up to see a mountain lion ready to pounce. That same mountain lion had stalked the cub for the entire show. There was no way that mountain lion would've gone for that cub with Papa bear around, but now....
The camera zoomed in on the cub. He automatically mimicked the posture of his adopted father when threatened. He stood on his hind legs and bared his teeth. Then, in the exactly the same way his new father would have done, this cub let loose a mighty growl that should have reverberated throughout the forest. But, only a tiny bear cub squeak came out. Well, you know what was coming. But, to everybody's astonishment the mountain lion lowered his head and ran off in the opposite direction. The camera panned back to the proud little cub still standing tall on his hind legs. And then all the viewers saw what that little cub Could Not: a few yards behind him, at full, ferocious height, his sharp, white teeth bared in a snarl, stood Daddy bear. He may not have made a sound, but he was there. And even though the cub couldn't see his father, his father stood guard, protecting his young. The little cub had power available greater than anything he could produce on his own. There was a greater power watching over him.
Jesus said: "They who have my commandments and keep them are those who love me; and those who love me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them and reveal myself to them."

SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, July 25, 2010

Every month is Mary’s month
Mary, the Mother of God is a perfect example
for all of us in carrying Jesus to others.

A reflection on Mary’s visit to her cousin Elizabeth
(Dr. Rowan Williams, Lourdes, September 2008)

Mary appears to us here as the first missionary,
the first human being to bring the Good News
of Jesus Christ to another;
and she does it simply
by carrying Christ within her.
She reminds us that mission begins
not in delivering a message in words
but in the journey towards another person
with Jesus in your heart.
Mary testifies to the primary importance
of simply carrying Jesus,
even before there are words or deeds
to show Him and explain Him.

FIFTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, July 11, 2010

ENCOURAGEMENT
Do not look forward to the changes and chances of this life in fear; rather look to them with full hope that as they arise, God – whose own you are – will deliver you out of them. He has kept you hitherto, do you but hold fast to His dear hand and He will lead you safely through all things; and when you cannot stand He will bear you safely in His arms. What need you fear, my child, remembering that you are God’s and that He has said, “All things work together for good to those who love him.” Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow. The same everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow and every day. Either He will shield you from suffering, or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace then. Put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations and say continually, “The Lord is my strength and my shield, my heart has trusted in Him and I am helped; He is not only with me but in me and I in Him.” What can a child fear surrounded by such a Father’s arms? St. Francis de Sales

THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, June 27, 2010

LIFE EXPLAINED
A boat docked in a tiny Mexican fishing village. A tourist complimented the local fishermen on the quality of their fish and asked how long it took them to catch them. "Not very long." they answered in unison. "Why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?" The fishermen explained that their small catches were sufficient to meet their needs and those of their families. "But what do you do with the rest of your time?" "We sleep late, fish a little, play with our children, and take siestas. In the evenings, we go into the village to see our friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs. We have a full life." The tourist interrupted, "I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you! You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat." "And after that?" "With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or even New York City! From there you can direct your huge new enterprise." "How long would that take?" "Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years." replied the tourist. "And after that?" "Afterwards? Well my friend, that's when it gets really interesting, " answered the tourist, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start buying and selling stocks and make millions!" "Millions? Really? And after that?" asked the fishermen. "After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta and spend your evenings drinking and enjoying your friends." And the moral of this story is:
Know where you're going in life...you may already be there!!

EUCHARISTIC PRAYER OF BLESSED MOTHER TERESA
O God, we believe that you are here. We adore You and love You with our whole heart and soul because You are most worthy of all our love. We desire to love you as the Blessed do in Heaven….

Flood our Souls with Your spirit and life. Penetrate and possess our whole being utterly, that our lives may only be a radiance of Yours. Shine through us, and be so in us, that every soul we come in contact with may feel Your presence in our soul. Let them look up and see no longer us, but only Jesus! Amen.
