Come under this mantle, where the Christ-child might effect in us a glorious exchange.
Homily for the Friday in the Twenty-seventh Week in Ordinary Time (Memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary), delivered in Our Lady Star of the Sea Church, Gladstone, Qld.
"Don’t you see that it is those who rely on faith who are the sons of Abraham? Scripture foresaw that God was going to use faith to justify the pagans, and proclaimed the Good News long ago when Abraham was told: In you all the pagans will be blessed. Those therefore who rely on faith receive the same blessing as Abraham, the man of faith... that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might include the pagans, and so that through faith we might receive the promised Spirit." (cf. Gal 3:7-14).
"The Lord will remember his covenant for ever." (Ps 111).
"When Jesus had cast out a devil, some of the people said, ‘It is through Beelzebul, the prince of devils, that he casts out devils.’ Others asked him, as a test, for a sign from heaven; but, knowing what they were thinking, he said to them, ‘Every kingdom divided against itself is heading for ruin, and a household divided against itself collapses. So too with Satan: if he is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? – since you assert that it is through Beelzebul that I cast out devils. Now if it is through Beelzebul that I cast out devils, through whom do your own experts cast them out? Let them be your judges then. But if it is through the finger of God that I cast out devils, then know that the kingdom of God has overtaken you... ‘He who is not with me is against me; and he who does not gather with me scatters." (cf. Lk 11:15-26).
