Superior Priest

30May21 (21Trinity). The liturgy, not only in its prayers but in its very action, should communicate to us about the celebration. This idea of changing the parts of Mass to fit is called progressive solemnity. Some announcements. Why are we here in church? life? “Q: Why did God make you? A: God made me to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him in this world, and to be happy with Him forever in heaven.” Baltimore Catechism. God became man so we may know Him. The mystery of Trinity reveals that God is a God of relationship.

23May21 (21Pentecost). “Catholic” means universal. It is the universal religion that is for all peoples. Universal religion for all people. We are not supposed to be all the same but unique and complementary.

13May21 (21Ascension). Proclaim the Gospel to every creature. It doesn’t matter if others want to except it, we have a command from God to proclaim the Gospel. Responsibility to do so even if it doesn’t cause conversions.

09May21 (21bE6). God uses unexpected people. He uses a military soldier, Cornelius as a Godly man seeking God. Let’s be like Cornelius and seek God by seeking to follow his commandments.

02May21 (21bE5). Ask for anything that you want, but sometimes his answer is “no” or “hey that doesn’t work with your more important prayer”. The Our Father is the best formation in understanding how to pray.

25Apr21 (21bE4). Jesus shepherds us in the most fitting way. He does that in unexpected ways by becoming incarnate and laying down his life. He also works in our life in the most fitting way that is often unexpected by us. Fr. Walter Ciszek is an amazing example of the amazing way God works expectantly in the most fitting and effective ways.

18Apr21 (21bE3). Luke tells us about the Resurrection. Just like John’s account, Jesus wants to give us PEACE. Jesus wants to also eat…strange. This is a beautiful raw accounts of Jesus resurrection that tells us Jesus’ suffering love of the Sacred Heart and wounds.

11Apr21(21bE2DivineMercy). I don’t think we understand how important peace is. The world wants to give a temporary and transitory calm that is called peace. God wants a peace that can only come through right ordering and justice.

01Apr21(21HolyThursday). Institution of the Eucharist and the Priesthood. Jesus does not ordain perfect people, but ordains Peter and Judas? Our imperfects do not overcome God. God’s goodness overcomes us. We need more priests and more prayers.

28Mar21 (21Passion). God wants us to be passionate. Passionate in love. Pope Benedict XVI’s encyclical “Deus Caritas Est” reminds us that God is passionately in love with us. So passionate to suffer and die for us. Pray that we may have a passionate love that grows and perfects in Agape love.
