Delivered by Grace Larope from the Parish of Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. Ezekiel 12: 1-12; Rs psalm 78: 56-59.61-62; Matthew 18: 21 - 19: 1.A BIG HEART THAT FORGIVES Our meditation today has the theme: A Big Heart thatForgives. There was a boy, the fifth grade primary student, who told hisparents one morning that better he would stop going to school. He was sayingthis while weeping and terrified. After searching for the reason, they learnedthat this child was afraid of being teased, humiliated and bullied once againby his friends at school. He had tried to be patient with them, played withthem, even shared snacks with them, but he was still victimized by them. He justwanted to quit the school. The parents were sad of their son's situation andtried to solve the problem with the school. This boy's sad experience should not be considered asa human error or simply something by chance, but this proved that there was avery bad social pattern existed in that school that must be removed. Perhapsyou yourself have ever been the victim of such pattern of evil behavior in yourown context. In facing such difficulty, there are some people who can solvethem on their own, but others cannot, so they need help from others to overcomeit. On the how to solve this, it can be through reactive or repressive ways,which means to fight with violence, but it can also through persuasive orfriendly ways. One of the Christian teachings that is always close tothe hearts of followers of Christ when they experience such trouble, is to havea big heart, namely to be a forgiving person and always willing to forgive inwhatever situation. The prophet Ezekiel in the first reading describes an actof forgiveness, which is to reject violence by being passive or silent. Heteaches us an attitude of making ourselves the powerless victims in the face ofthose who are against us. This is to remind them that they also will have theirown time and experience of trouble which they deserve. This way of forgivenessis the same as to say this expression: "The Lord forgives them becausethey don't know what they are doing". The Lord Jesus teaches us on how a big heart forgives,that is, through explicit statements and actions that we can give. The evilones or our enemies need to see and experience how through our words andactions we really forgive them. Such forgiveness should not be measured up tothe number of time or in quantity, and also in quality such as beyond one'spatience, fatigue, boredom, and hurt. Jesus recognized this human tendency ofputting the limits, however, He teaches His disciples and all of us to do theotherwise. Therefore, He emphasized that a big great that forgives is the onethat does not take into account the limits of both the quantity and quality. Hesays this in His famous expression, that we should be able to forgive 70 times7 times. Let'spray. In the name of the Father ... O Lord, give us kind and big hearts so thatwe can forgive without limit. If we are not strong enough to forgive, give usYour Spirit and we will be strengthened. Glory to the Father and to the Son andto the Holy Spirit  ... In the name ofthe Father ...

Delivered by Vici from the Parish of Saint John the Baptist in the Archdiocese of Jakarta, Indonesia. Ezekiel 9: 1-7; 10: 18-22; Rs psalm 113: 1-2.3-4.5-6; Matthew 18: 15-20.GATHERING IN THE NAME OF THE LORD Our meditation today has the theme: Gathering in theName of the Lord. There was a group of teenagers about to enter a shop thatsells electronics and cell phones. They were so obsessed to have the newestproduct of cell phone that was being promoted everywhere. However, these poorteenagers had no money to buy what they were so eager to have, so they plannedto steal the cell phones in that shop. They planned in such way that nobodyaround would notice their action. But before doing that, the group leader invited all togather. He wished them to pray before stealing the cell phones they wanted. Andwhen they were about to pray, one of theirs friends raised an objection, as he wassaying in this way: "This is absurd. How can we pray then we go to steal?God definitely will not allow us." In the end they all did not steal andeach of them dispersed. When people gather to pray, they have good motivationto achieve a good objective too. What the today's Gospel says is true, that Godis present when people, few or many, gather in His power and His name. If thereis a gathering of people with motivation to create chaos, commotion andviolence, that will be so displeasing God. Every gathering in the name of the Lord has someconstituted elements that are familiar to us. The first element is when we usethe name of the Lord to be the easiest way for us to feel close with Him. Ashort prayer, a praise of His holy name, or a hymn of praise are among theexamples of how we come together with our fellow brothers and sisters to praisethe Lord. God is present in our midst through various occasions like these andHe is never present in our gathering to evil or sinful act. Another important element of gathering in the name ofthe Lord which is ecclesial in nature, is what we usually do in formal way  to worship God under the guidance of theChurch. There are liturgical celebrations, ministries of the sacraments anddevotional prayers. God indeed touches us through the observance of theseworships and the reception of sacraments. He truly blesses those who partake inthem and receive the outpouring of graces. The ordained ministers in the personof deacon, priest and bishop who become the sign of the authority of the Churchthat serves, are those who represent Jesus Christ himself. Their task is tobridge communication between God and people in their acts of worship. And the element of love is a concrete expression ofhow God acts through the works of charity. A meeting to plan a program ofcharity for the poor families, this is a gathering in the name of God. Agathering to discuss on the renewal of interpersonal relationship and fraternalcorrection, this is also an act made in the name of the Lord. In essence, Godis present in the gathering of believers and He animates them. Let'spray. In the name of the Father ... O Lord Jesus Christ, stay with us alwaysevery day, especially in our gatherings of worship and reception of sacraments,where You alone involves to share us the divine graces. Our Father who art inheaven ... In the name of the Father ...

Delivered by Erica Tanzil from the Parish of Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. 2 Corinthians 9: 6-10; Rs psalm 112: 1-2.5-9; John 12: 24-26.GOD LOVES THOSE WHO GIVE WITH JOY The theme for our meditation today is: God Loves ThoseWho Give with Joy. Today the Church celebrates the feast of Saint Lawrence, whowas a deacon from Rome. He was killed by the Emperor Valerian in the 3rdcentury. In a particular moment, Lawrence was temporarily imprisoned andawaiting execution. He was considered the person who kept all the treasures ofthe Church, which were left by Pope Sixtus II, who had been killed four daysearlier. On the day of his execution Lawrence was ordered to bring along withhim and to submit all those riches being kept . Then he went to the place ofexecution followed by many people who were sick, lame, poor, abandoned whom hehad served every day. They were all the possessions of the Church beingdemanded by the Emperor. Saint Lawrence's life was a perfect example of givingwith joy. This means that he had given all of his life for the little and sickones, and this means that he was indeed carrying out the will of God. He wasfull with joy in doing the works that he Lord himself already did. At the timeof execution, he presented his favorite world which was a life united withthose who were absolutely powerless. So he was willing and happy to accept hisdeath sentence because after his death a spirit of giving with joyful heartwill grow in the life of those who have experienced God's love. When we give with joy, it is good that we focus on thepersons who need and who receive what we give. Our focus is not on things andgoods according to their quantity or price. If you focus your attention onpeople, you will automatically pay attention to the things they need. The focuson persons is much broader and deeper because we also include other aspectssuch as values, teachings, closeness, relations, psychology, culture and so on.It often happens that when these non-material aspects are properly attended,the material things are no longer our priority. When we give our first attention to the human person,both individual and group, the fruit of this will be our spiritualsatisfaction. The one who gives will be happy and at peace because he offersgoodness to others. This certainly gives him a positive help for growth. Theone who receives attention and goodness is also happy because he is helped tobe able to face the difficulty of life. This is really a noble and wonderfulexperience where people enrich themselves with gratefulness and mutual appreciation.God guides and blesses such expression of love and we are happy to livetogether in this way. God's love has no limits, and His most precious gift ofhappiness to us is the gift of eternal life in heaven where all of us will beunited in God.Let'spray. In the name of the Father ... O most loving Father, Your Son Jesus Christteaches us to give with joy and to be motivated by love, grant that we willalways  practice this in every moment ofour lives.

Delivered by Johana, Clairine, Dwi Setyo and Michaela from the Parish of Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. 1 Kings 19: 9a.11-13a; Rs psalm 85: 9ab-10.11-12.13-14; Romans 9: 1-5; Matthew 14: 22-33.GOD COMMANDS US TO FIGHT THE STORM OF EVIL  The theme for our meditation on this 19thSunday in ordinary time is: God Commands Us to Fight the Storm of Evil. There were twochildren—siblings—playing by the seashore while the waves were high andcrashing loudly against the sand. Their mother sat under the tree watching them. The mother advised themnot to go into the sea to play with the waves, because it would endanger them.They just played on the shore with the waves crashing against the sand. They hadto take care of each other while playing and running. According to Jewish tradition and belief, especiallyduring the time of  Jesus, the waves ofthe sea, the strong currents, and the wind on the surface of the sea were signsthat Satan and evil spirits were threatening to attack whoever was aroundthere. This threat was experienced by the apostle Peter when he wanted to meetJesus by walking on the water which was being controlled by this evil power.Jesus himself stepped on, trampled on it and walked to the direction of theapostles. He was on his way to bring calm and peace to His apostles who were soterrified by the threat. If the experience of Peter and the other apostles happenedat sea, the prophet Elijah's experience was on land, on mountains andespecially in the cave of the rock. The evil power also threatened the holyprophet. There were three signs of Satan's power and evil spirit, namelyhurricane, earthquake and fire. All were tempting and trying to destroy Elijah,but this holy and most faithful prophet paid no attention to those temptationsof the evil one. At last he was able to meet the Lord in a gentle breeze, andhe was given by God a mission to be the prophet for his own people. The Lord isindeed our peace. Both Peter and Elijah ended up going through serioustrials in order to meet God. It is precisely when big and terrible threatsindeed come to attack, the Lord Jesus comes for our rescue and gives usstrength so that we can fight them with confidence. If we lose faith, courage,and power that have been given to us, we will fall and perish. The storm ofevil threatens us indefinitely, because the evil power has his own wills thatwe never expect. Therefore we must stay alert and grow stronger in our faith. According to our readings today, Satan or the evilspirit threatens us both when someone is alone like Elijah or when we aretogether like the apostles of Jesus. This threat can strike us while prayinglike Elijah or when we are working like the apostles in their boat. In whateversituation and time as the threat comes, we must live with God's command, namelystepping on it and trample on it, so that we can walk freely and in peace.According to Saint Paul, we do that only for the glory of God.Let'spray. In the name of ... O most loving Father, may this Sunday celebrationstrengthen our faith and make us more obedient to Your will. Our Father who artin heaven ... In the name of the Father ...

During a one-day pilgrimage to all 16 perpetual adoration chapels in the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, Fr. Jonathan Meyer experienced a powerful reminder of why Eucharistic Adoration matters. At St. Vincent de Paul in Bedford, a grieving young man named Sean arrived at the church simply because he needed to pray. He and his girlfriend had just lost their unborn child, Georgia, at 16 weeks. Sean was not Catholic, but he was searching for truth, peace, and a place where he could encounter God. What he found was Jesus present in the Eucharist—and a woman named Lynn who was ready to sit beside him, comfort him, and love Jesus with him. This homily is a beautiful witness to the power of prayer, the Real Presence of Christ, and the importance of keeping our churches open so that those who are hurting always have somewhere to go. When Jesus is placed on the altar and we allow Him to work, amazing things happen. Please pray for Sean, his girlfriend, their child Georgia, Lynn, and all those grieving the loss of a child. “Blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.” #EucharisticAdoration #CatholicHomily #RealPresence #Prayer #Eucharist #FrJonathanMeyer #CatholicFaith #PerpetualAdoration #InfantLoss

Sister Dede Byrne has witnessed death from both sides, as a physician and as a religious sister. She has sat with the dying, prayed with the suffering, and watched souls pass from this world to the next. Her message is urgent: the final days of life are spiritually invaluable and should never be intentionally shortened.Speaking in the shadow of the Archdiocese of Chicago's new suicide memorial and the growing acceptance of euthanasia and assisted suicide, Sister Dede insists that mercy is real, but presumption is dangerous. "From the saddle to the ground, mercy is sought, and mercy is found," she quotes, emphasizing that Christ offers every person a final opportunity to choose Him. But no one can definitively judge the state of a soul at death. That belongs to God alone.The interview turns to the crisis within the Church: SSPX excommunications, the Vatican's relationship with China, the Synod on Synodality, and debates over homosexuality and the Latin Mass. Sister Dede acknowledges the confusion but rejects despair. The faithful response is not outrage; it is prayer, the sacraments, and fidelity to Christ. She points to Fatima and the Blessed Virgin Mary's promise of triumph, urging believers to "pray, pray, pray" and remain steadfast.The crisis is real. But the triumph is certain. Sister Dede calls on Catholics to hold the line, not with anger, but with hope.Make the switch today to iCatholicMobile today!iCatholic Mobile—supporting the Catholic faith with every connection.https://www.facebook.com/icatholicmobile https://www.icatholicmobile.com/ HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

Shane Waters and Gemma Hoskins continue their first sit-down in over a year, working through the second half of the questions listeners submitted through the show's Facebook community. This is the follow-up to "The Mary Statue and Unanswered Questions, " a wide-ranging conversation about the unsolved 1969 murder of Sister Catherine Ann Cesnik in Baltimore, Maryland. Known to millions through the Netflix documentary The Keepers, Gemma has spent more than a decade investigating what happened to Sister Cathy, the young School Sister of Notre Dame who taught English and drama at Archbishop Keough High School.The Persons of InterestListeners asked about the figures who have circled this case for years. Gemma explains why "Brother Bob" has never been publicly identified, how the nickname came to stand for more than one man, and why she has stepped back from the theory she put forward in her own 2019 book. She and Shane talk through how a single murder sits at the center of a web of other abuse and other suspected crimes, and why that makes Sister Cathy's case so difficult to untangle.New Questions Around Father KoobGemma describes the women who have come forward in recent years with accusations against Father Gerard Koob, and walks through why, in her understanding, charges have been so hard to bring, including questions of jurisdiction and corroboration, since only some of the accusers were abused in Maryland. She recounts asking Detective Josh Battaglia to put her questions to Koob directly. Koob, who was the subject of a 2023 Baltimore Banner investigation by reporter Justin Fenton, continues to deny wrongdoing and says listeners are thinking of a different man. He has not been charged.Who Knew, and the Attorney General's ReportShane and Gemma discuss how much the staff at Archbishop Keough may have known, and why so many people went quiet after Sister Cathy was killed. They place it in the context of the Maryland Attorney General's 2023 report on clergy abuse in the Archdiocese of Baltimore, a 456-page document detailing the abuse of more than 600 children across decades and the conclusion that "no parish went untouched. " That history is part of what is driving the Archdiocese's current bankruptcy.Joyce Malecki and the Sealed FilesThe conversation turns to Joyce Malecki, the 20-year-old whose 1969 murder near Fort Meade has long been discussed alongside Sister Cathy's. Gemma updates listeners on the 2023 exhumation of Joyce's body, the family's still-unanswered request for thousands of pages of FBI files first sought in 2014, and the letter Senator Chris Van Hollen carried to the White House on their behalf. Shane makes the case for why physical evidence in an unsolved murder should never be destroyed.Cathy's FamilyGemma reflects on why Sister Cathy's family chose to step out of the spotlight after The Keepers, the heartbreak of learning their loved one's death may not have been random, and the dignity of their decision to protect their own peace.Content WarningThis episode discusses clergy abuse and violence.Frequently Asked QuestionsWho is Gemma Hoskins?Gemma Hoskins is a retired Baltimore teacher and former student at Archbishop Keough High School. She has spent more than a decade investigating the murder of her former teacher, Sister Cathy Cesnik, and was one of the central figures in the Netflix documentary The Keepers. She was named Maryland Teacher of the Year in 1992.Has anyone been charged in Sister Cathy's murder?No. The 1969 murder of Sister Catherine Cesnik remains unsolved, and no one has ever been charged.What is the Maryland Attorney General's report?Released in 2023, the report documented decades of child sexual abuse within the Archdiocese of Baltimore, naming Father Joseph Maskell among its most prolific abusers and identifying more than 600 victims across the Archdiocese.Who is investigating Sister Cathy's case today?Detective Josh Battaglia of the Baltimore County Police Department currently handles the investigation.
