http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/073120.cfm At the end of the homily I meant to say: "Isn't this the carpenter's son?" I should really drink coffee and observe the fast before 6:30 AM Mass! There is so much to say about Ignatius so I have added a few things here: "Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam" "For the Greater Glory of God!" The origin of the phrase is attributed to the founder of the Jesuits, Saint Ignatius of Loyola, who intended it to serve as a cornerstone sentiment of the society's religious philosophy. The full phrase attributed to St. Ignatius is Ad maiorem Dei gloriam inque hominum salutem or "for the greater glory of God and the salvation of humanity." -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_maiorem_Dei_gloriam Saint Josemaria counted Ignatius as one of his patrons. Ignatian spirituality is evident in the writings of Josemaria and many saints. "Deo omnis gloria. All glory to God. It is an emphatic confession of our nothingness. He, Jesus, is everything. We, without him, are worth nothing: nothing. Our vainglory would be just that: vain glory; it would be sacrilegious robbery. There should be no room for that 'I' anywhere." -Saint Josemaria, The Way, 780
Homily on July 5, 2020 at the 11 AM Mass at St. Leo the Great, Fairfax
In this homily at our 5 AM Mass today, I share some brief thoughts regarding the death of George Floyd and the events and issues surrounding his death. I bring in the Scriptures, comments from Pope Francis, a statement from Archbishop Gomez, and the words of Martin Luther King Jr. It’s certainly not a thorough reflection but rather an invitation to deeper conversation and even deeper conversion.This past Sunday I also shared an examination of conscience that we might use for ourselves. If we wish for deep, structural and systemic change, the change has to begin with each of us individually:Love: Do I demonstrate love or do I demonstrate hate?Joy: Do I exude joy or do I exude bitterness?Peace: Do I have peace in my heart or agitation? Patience: Am I patient or am I impatient? Kindness: Am I kind or am I critical? Goodness: Am I a person of good conduct or do my actions mar my character? Faithfulness: Am I faithful to God and to the things of God or do other things take His place? Gentleness: Do I speak gently or do I speak harshly? Self-Control: Do I have control of myself or am I undisciplined?
