Do Not Delay Your Conversion

Last Sunday after Pentecost 2016

Our Lord admonishes us that when the end of the world comes, many will not expect it and, more importantly, not be prepared for it. There have been numerous times when the world did not expect the widespread destruction that occurred, such as the total destruction of Jerusalem where “not one stone was left upon a stone.” Scripture tells us about the events that we will see in the final days citing the analogy of the fig tree, that when it sprouts and sends forth its buds you know that Spring is near. It also warns us not to believe the deceivers who give false statements about the presence of Christ in the final days. We should use the upcoming new liturgical year to prepare our souls to receive the Master when the Angels sound the trumpet announcing His return.

Prayer And Its Expressions

Prayer is an outgrowth of the natural conversation with self which is elevated to a dialogue with God.  We then follow the progression from this through the different types of prayer like the theological, the four purposes of prayer, and prayer to the Blessed Trinity and the friends of God.

Our Citizenship Is In Heaven

23rd Sunday after Pentecost 2016

St. Paul’s Epistle to the Philippians informs us that there were enemies of the cross even at that time in the early Church.   One example is Tertullian who was considered a father of the church but lapsed into heretical ideas later in life.  So, the inference for us is that we must not think too highly of ourselves lest we fall, especially in today’s world where there are so many temptations to draw us away from the Faith.  In the Gospel reading we see the immense power of Faith by the fact that the woman who simply touched the hem of Our Lord’s garment was healed of a troublesome issue of blood.  Her ailment had existed for twelve years and it was her Faith that healed her.  So much so shall we be healed of our imperfections through touching Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist through Faith in His healing power.
