THE GOOD NEWS OF BEING PERFECTLY LOVED BY GOD

2023 MAY 25 THU: EASTER WEEKDAY/ VENERABLE BEDE, P, R, DR/ GREGORY VII, PP, R/ Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi, v, r Acts 22: 30; 23: 6-11/ Ps 16: 1-2a and 5. 7-8. 9-10. 11/ Jn 17: 20-26 One of the traumas of life is being left by others. Being alone is the loneliest existence in this world. We are a people with a great need to belong with others. That’s why the family is the most potent means of belongingness. We also need friends to stand by us in joy and sorrow. As the Scripture says, He who finds a friend finds a treasure. Let us be consoled that from the beginning of time, this God wishes to be friends with his creation, man and woman, and that they share in his kingdom. Though sin separated us from God, Jesus linked it back again by becoming the perfect sacrifice of man to God. We are united with God once more in the bond of love. How do we maintain this unity with God? First, believe that God wishes us to be united with him. Be free from every stain of evil and sin and

THE HOLY SPIRIT IN MARY: DAUGHTERSHIP

2023 MAY 31 WED: VISITATION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY Zep 3: 14-18a or Rom 12: 9-16/ Is 12: 2-3. 4bcd. 5-6/ Lk 1: 39-56 Zep 3: 14 mentions "Daughter of Zion" and "Daughter of Jerusalem"; they are instructed to shout aloud and rejoice for the following reasons, and their reasons can be attributed to Mary and to us as well: First, because of their intimate and unbreakable relationship with the Father. Mary said, "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my Savior." Learn to deepen the mystery of our special relationship with the Lord. Second, because the Father has forgiven them. "The Almighty had done great things for me"; there is nothing in our human lives that doesn’t come from God. He is the Author of Life. He brings us to life through forgiveness. Third, because they respond to the Father also in love. Mary recognized the work of the Father towards the poor and fulfillment of God's promises. Elizabe

LEGACY: WITNESSING TO THE HOLY SPIRIT

2023 JUN 2 FRI: ORDINARY WEEKDAY/ MARCELLINUS AND PETER, MTS Sir 44: 1. 9-13/ Ps 149: 1b-2. 3-4. 5-6a and 9b/ Mk 11: 11-26 From Sirach: “Now will I praise those godly men, our ancestors, each in his own time. But of others there is no memory, for when they ceased, they ceased.” What legacy are we leaving the world behind? In the Gospel, Jesus left a legacy: faithfulness to God and not of the barren world. Whether we like it or not, we are leaving memories behind - good memories and bad memories. What memories would you like to leave behind? Parents, what legacy are you leaving to your children? Land? Money? Or God and his values that your children will teach their children and the next generation? Would we want to be remembered as saving only our own family or have we extended our arms to help a greater number of families, especially the poor? Would we want to leave things that are only relevant to the world but totally useless in heaven? We can either stay barren, or we can dec
