Cabrini POD

In today's homily, Deacon Moss reminds us to be persistent in our prayers to God. In today's parable, Jesus tells us about the poor widow who eventually gets justice because of her continual requests to the judge. If the dishonest judge can be persuaded to do what is right, imagine how much more our God wants to give us, as long as we ask with faith and persistence. Jesus gives us this parable to remind us to pray without ceasing. Please listen to Deacon Moss's homily, and let the words speak to your heart. Please share this Podcast with a family member or friend, and have a blessed week!

In today's homily, Msgr. Magee discusses the parable of the Mustard Seed. The parable of the mustard seed, found in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, illustrates how the Kingdom of Heaven, though starting from a seemingly small beginning, will grow into something vast and magnificent.Likewise, our faith will grow into something vast and magnificent, if it is aligned with God's plan for us. Please reflect on this homily, and share it with a friend of neighbor. Have a blessed week. 

In today's homily, Msgr. McCormac explains that we might be tempted to think that the problem with the rich man in today's gospel was that he was rich. That was not the problem. The problem was that he did not see Lazarus, the man who was before him. He was poor and hungry. Because he did not see this man, he did not assist in feeding or clothing him. The rich man missed many opportunities to make a difference. Who are some people with needs that we fail to see in our families and communities? The only way to be of assistance to our family and friends is to reach out and talk with them. The Lord has blessed all of us with eyesight, and the Lord is asking us to "see", and to respond.

In today's homily, Deacon Moss reminds us of the importance of remaining focused on our eternal retirement in heaven. The gospel ends saying "you cannot serve both God and mammon, another word for riches. Just as we spend many years planning for retirement, we must work even harder planning our future with our Lord in heaven. Listen to today's homily, and ask yourself "what is the Lord saying to me?"

Today, we hear Deacon Moss's first homily at St. Frances Cabrini Parish. As we celebrate the Exultation of the Holy Cross, we must be transformed. Just as when the bronze serpent was lifted up at Moses in our first reading and all were saved, so too, must the Son of Man be lifted up so that whoever believes in Him might live. This is what happens at Calvary. Jesus, the Son of the Father, is lifted up and crucified so that all may live. Whenever we receive our Lord in the Eucharist, we must allow Him to truly transform us. Please share this week's homily with a friend or neighbor, and have a blessed week.

Msgr. Magee does a fine job explaining a Gospel that is very difficult to understand. When Jesus uses that word "hate" in today's gospel, He does not mean to that we are to despise our families and our children. What He means is that we are to subordinate our love for them to the love of God. Take some time to listen to Msgr. Magee's homily, and let Jesus's message speak to your heart.

In today's homily, Msgr. Magee reminds us of the Gospel's message for all of us, which is "HUMILITY". The scripture invites us to look at what true humility is, and what it is not. Being humble means knowing and thanking God for the gift of who we are, for the nature that He has given us, as a man or as a woman, and the place He has put us in this world. He gives a wonderful example of humility that comes from St. Theresa, the Little Flower. Thinking of the world as a garden, she says the the saints are represented by the lilies and the roses, while we, the majority of the garden is made up of the wildflowers, such as violets and daisies. There is a lot of excellent imagery in this well written homily by Msgr. Magee. Please take the time to listen to the message of today's homily, and let Jesus speak to your heart. Listen and share today's podcast, and Happy Labor Day!!

In today's Gospel, Jesus reminds us that the way to his kingdom is very narrow, and we must constantly guard our actions and maintain our relationship with the Father through prayer. Msgr. Magee tells us that this parable is a warning to all those who really do not want God and can't be bothered by his will. There is a decision placed before each and every one of us, to choose to be the Lord's disciple, or not. Our job is to focus on the mission of our life, not everyone else's.

In today's homily, Msgr. Magee reminds us that Jesus has indeed won victory over sin and death for all of us, but that is not enough. As much as Jesus wants us to follow His commands and His way, He never forces us. We must choose good over evil many times in our daily life. It isn't an easy thing to do, but Jesus allows us the freedom to choose to live our lives according to his plan, or to do things our own way. Through prayer and the sacraments, Our Lord has provided all that we need to strength ourselves in this fight with Satan, and live according to His will.

In today's homily, Deacon Mace reminds us the importance of keeping our relationship with the Lord strong through prayer and action.
