SOLEMNITY OF THE HOLY FAMILY; SOLEMNITY OF MARY, MOTHER OF GOD; SOLEMNITY OF HUMBLE SHEPHERDS

December 31st, 2011 § 0 comments § permalink

Today we celebrate the solemnity of the Holy Family, the Blessed Virgin Mary – Mother of God and also the feast of the Humble Shepherds. The feast of the Holy Family is very meaningful for us today. We see the crisis of the Families today and we need a new power of love for our own Families. This is the reason that the Church offers us the good example of the Holy Family, where the obedience and the love is the priority.

From the other hand the feast of the Humble Shepherds concentrate our caution on our mission – to be the apostles of Jesus Christ our Savior in our modern world.

The Eucharist is like the meeting of the shepherds with the Baby Jesus, His Mother and Joseph. Here and now we get the wisdom of our heavenly Childhood.

A PRAYER FOR AMERICA – On the Ten Anniversary of 9/11

America! America!
May God thy gold refine

And ev’ry gain divine.

24th Sunday in Ordinary Time

September 10th, 2011 § 0 comments § permalink

In the Ordinary Time we realize that all we are brothers and sisters and our every day rule is to love each other. Love is the consequence of the looking on others by our own perspective. We need the help in our time of existence. Christ Jesus came into the world to save us and others too. And this is the Good News for all of us. Because we can find ourselves in the group of people whom Jesus loves and saves.

The Eucharist is the special meeting with Jesus for all who are brothers and sisters. We come to Jesus to praise him and to become holy by his grace. This is the simple aim of our every Sunday coming to the Church. To remember about it is our task for daily life. To encourage others to praise God and to be better by the loving power of Jesus is our privilege and we have to do this because we are the disciples of Christ.
