A Homily for Children

Given on the feast of St. John Paul II

What does the Miraculous Medal reveal about the soul of woman? On this feast of St. John Paul II, Fr. Searby unites the story of the Medal's origins with the Pope's teaching on the feminine genius. Beneath the rays of Mary's open hands, we discover the quiet power of receptivity, compassion, and courage—the graces that still shape the heart of woman today.

The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith." The Lord replied, "If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you. "Who among you would say to your servant who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field, 'Come here immediately and take your place at table'? Would he not rather say to him, 'Prepare something for me to eat. Put on your apron and wait on me while I eat and drink. You may eat and drink when I am finished'? Is he grateful to that servant because he did what was commanded? So should it be with you. When you have done all you have been commanded, say, 'We are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were obliged to do.'"
