The Qualities of a Glorified Body

April 29, 2012By Servants Of The Holy Family

3rd Sunday after Easter 2012
The name “Extreme Unction” means the “last anointing,” because this sacrament is only given when the danger of death is imminent. It is in our last moments that the devil has his final chance to strike out at God by tempting us to sin. Oftentimes this sacrament provides health to the body in addition to its spiritual aids.

Easter is the guarantee of the resurrection of all the just. The preternatural qualities possessed by the glorified bodies of the just at the end of time will include impassibility, subtlety, agility, and clarity.

A Father to Us All

March 19, 2012By Servants Of The Holy Family

Feast of St. Joseph 2012
In the Hypostatic Union of Jesus Christ, He possessed no human personality, and because of this, His human nature is transcendent and universal. In a sense all our human natures are found in His. St. Joseph, who was chosen to be the father and protector of Our Lord’s Body on Earth, is a true father to the Mystical Body of Christ – our father. When a boy comes into his manhood, he realizes an inherent responsibility to be a protector of those around him, especially the most needy. A true man must possess both strength and compassion and St. Joseph is the perfect exemplar of these manly virtues. We frequently remember the sorrows of the Blessed Mother, but we neglect to remember how much St. Joseph sacrificed and suffered in the care of the Holy Family. The age when the whole Church will recognize the greatness and authority of this Patron of the Universal Church is yet to be seen.
