Parishioner's in Gaza's only Roman Catholic church are marking Easter Sunday with some extra pomp and pageantry but basically as they do everyday, with prayers for food and a ceasefire. More than 500 people have been sheltering in the Holy Family Church since the outbreak of war. They're part of the dwindling Christian community in Gaza who've stuck together for protection and ignored warnings to leave the northern part of the strip. Producer Catherine Murray has kept in touch with one of their members, George Antone, and tells us how they have communicated over the past six months.Former United States president Donald Trump is selling Bibles during the Easter holiday, encouraging his supporters to "Make America Pray Again". In a three-minute video posted on his Truth Social network on Tuesday, Mr Trump told supporters that "Christians are under siege" as he endorsed a large-print King James Version of the Bible complete with what he called America's "founding father documents." We'll hear from Theologian Brad Onishi, a professor of religion at The University of San Francisco and co-host of the 'Straight White American Jesus' podcast to get his view on how the move has been received.Polynesia's Rapa Nui was given the nickname ‘Easter Island,' after its first-recorded European contact, on Easter Sunday, 1722. Home of the Moai and giant, stone platforms (‘ahus'), masterful feats of construction, still part of ancestral beliefs and practises today, the island is also one earth's most remote places, with a history long shrouded in false narratives. We speak to philologist Silvia Ferrara about how new research into a wooden tablet, featuring an independent writing system, that pre-dates European influence by at least two centuries, can widen our understanding of historical religious beliefs and practises on the island.Presenter: William Crawley Producers: Bara'atu Ibrahim & Linda Walker Production Coordinator: David Baguley Editor: Tim Pemberton

Jonathan continues our new series on Genesis. This week he is speaking on Genesis 6:1-22. His topic is "The Character of God" Summary The sermon delivered by Jonathan Dunning on February 11th, 2024, focused on Genesis chapter 6, exploring the character of God in the context of human sin and judgment. The sermon is divided into two parts: God's diagnosis of man's condition and God's solution through salvation. Dunning examines the passage, discussing the interpretation of the sons of God, the wickedness of man, and the impending judgment of the flood. He delves into the supernatural elements mentioned in the passage, including the Nephilim and the book of Enoch. Dunning emphasizes God's omniscience, grief over human sin, righteous judgment, and ultimate grace in providing salvation through Noah. The sermon concludes with a reflection on the covenant God establishes with Noah, offering hope and assurance of salvation for believers through Jesus Christ. Bible Passages Used: Genesis 6:1-22 Genesis 3-11 (Background) 1 Peter 3:19-20 2 Peter 2:4-6 Jude 1:6-7 Ephesians 5:11 Psalm (Not specified) Hebrews 11:7 Transcript it for for it. Bless this man we pray in Jesus name. Amen. Over to you. Now having just finished the speaking course where I was talking to people about a good start, a good middle and a good end, this could be very confusing. So you know it's a class of classically.do as I do, just do as I say please. This isn't an easy chapter as we're going through Genesis as you will find out if you've looked at it. It's a passage that's the first eight verses that I have never heard anyone preach on before and I've never preached on it before and as we read it you'll understand why. I don't know how many people have actually heard sermons on this. Greg said he had but I'm not quite sure if there's anyone else. But here we go. I think there's things we can learn from here. It's quite a sobering chapter. This is not going to be a happy, clappy chapter. This is going to make us think about the condition of the human heart, us as human beings, about the nature of God and his character and how he deals with that. And actually he has things to say to our society today. I'm going to split this chapter, chapter six into two parts. The first part really is God's diagnosis of man's condition if you like, which basically is that we terminally ill at that point. And the second part versus nine to twenty two is going to be God's solution and no as salvation. But let's read the first eight verses of chapter six of Genesis. When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive and they took them as wives any they chose. Then the Lord said, my spirit shall not abide in man forever, but he's flesh. His days shall be 120 years. The Nephilim were on the earth in those days and also afterward when the sons of God came into the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown. The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord regretted that he'd made man on the earth and it grieved him to his heart. So the Lord said, I will blot out man whom I've created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens from sorry that I've made them. But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. Just a bit of background, Genesis chapter 3 to 11 from the moment Adam and Eve are disobedient through to the Tower of Babel is really a series of incidents showing the consequences of man choosing to go his own way. There were some high points like we heard last week about Enoch who walked with God and was taken out of this world. But essentially it's about man going from paradise, this place where he's with God, where he's walking with God, where he has relationship with God to kind of pandemonium like anarchy. Just everything is just getting bleaker and darker and worse and you can't imagine how bad things got. Evil had gathered pace and suddenly we come in chapter 6 to these verses where we read of the sons of God looking down and seeing these daughters of men and saying we really would like to have sex with them and basically we're going to take them as our wives. That's the word that's used. It's an interesting thought that anyway but we're not going to get into what that means. Now there are two possible theories to these verses. There is the reasonable rational view that many theologians have had which is basically a view that cuts out if you like the supernatural and we in the west are very good at actually downplaying the supernatural. And the argument is this that actually when Manfell, one of Adam and Eve's sons Seth, was a righteous line of humanity. It was faithful to God still that walked with God but Cain who of course murdered Abel, his brother, was actually a bad side of humanity and the daughters of men were Cain's descendants and the sons of God were Seth's descendants and of course throughout the Bible you get this view of intermarriage, God being really angry about intermarriage between his chosen people and foreigners and really this was just another incident where God is displeased because humanity has decided to do something outside of that kind of relationship, a faithfulness that God had chosen for them. There are real problems with this though. I mean I think it's just a classic human answer to a very difficult passage of scripture. The first problem perhaps is this has happened forever where there has been this kind of intermarriage and God hasn't chosen to destroy the world on the basis of that ever before. God wasn't so horrified with what had happened that basically he now was going to say that's enough. Time gentlemen please I'm going to wipe the slate clean. Secondly the offspring seem to be quite strange people they're almost like super humans it's like a Marvel comic you know we talk about these mighty men of renown they're almost like beyond humans almost you know having having kind of powers that would be on humanity you know these these mighty men of renown are they called here and some of them were giants. Now there seems to be this these giants called the Nephilim before as well as after. Please don't ask me where they came from. I think it's another sort of this kind of disfiguration of creation this kind of this kind of things going wrong in the world. But undoubtedly this was not the progeny or the offspring of a normal human relationship. So who are the sons of God? Well the sons of God is a phrase that's used in the Old Testament a lot for angelic beings. And this is why we have a problem with it. But it was certainly the understanding of the early Christian church in their teachings of Jewish scholars where there was a widespread belief in this supernatural world of demonic as well as you know the supernatural as good that this was indeed the union of angelic beings who had disobeyed God who had rebelled against God and humanity. And that does explain some of the horror and the appalling sense of what God felt about this. There's a book in the apocrypha I'll come to what that means in a minute called Enoch the book of Enoch. Now you might think well what are we doing talking about a book that's not in the Bible. Well this actually book is quoted and referenced several times in the New Testament including by Jesus himself on one occasion. So people took it very seriously and in Enoch chapter 6 there's almost a commentary on these verses in Genesis 6. The apocrypha is a group of sacred writings that didn't make the final cut into the Bible but they were very highly honored and respected and you can still read them today. You can get hold of the book of Enoch if you want to and this is what the book of Enoch says about what was happening at this point. This is Enoch chapter 6 if you want to look it up afterwards. When the children of men had multiplied they were born to them beautiful daughters and the angels the children of heaven saw them and lustied after them and each chose one for himself and began to defile themselves with them and they taught them charms and enchantments and the cutting of roots and made them acquainted with plants. If that doesn't sound like witchcraft and they became pregnant and they bought great giants and Enoch 6 goes on to say and there was much godlessness and they committed fornication and they were led astray and became corrupt in their ways. Now I'm not saying that is the word of god but that was the understanding that New Testament writers put to this because if you read 1 Peter 3 verses 19 to 20 and 2 Peter 2 verses 4 to 6 you see these ideas from that that chapter Enoch picked up and there is a clear link between angelic disobedience and the resulting flood. They link the two, 1 Peter and 2 Peter. In Jude another one of the books in the New Testament verses 6 and 7 Jude says these words I remind you of the angels who did not stay within the limits of authority but left their proper dwelling and like Sodom and Gomorrah they likewise that is the angels obviously indulged in sexual immorality and pursued a natural desire. The Greek for a natural desire there is different flesh, different flesh. Now this is quite horrifying stuff isn't it? It's not the usual thing you get on a Sunday morning and it poses an awful lot of questions to us doesn't it? About the gender of angels, about hand angels and humanity actually produce sort of children and there are some really serious things and you know for anyone who's ever had to deal with the issues of witchcraft you know that sexual immorality and witchcraft are kind of quite linked in so many ways. Let's be honest I'm not going there this morning but I would like to say this because it's quite interesting if we think about mythology, myths and legends around the world and this is prehistory. Mids and legends are full of stories of gods coming to earth and having sex with human beings and they're offspring being these super powered sort of people who did these great deeds. It's often said of myths and legends there's a grain of truth in them. The King Arthur legend for instance, and that's the round table and all that. There's a thought that Arthur would have been a famous chieftain of the Britons many many years ago but nobody's ever made that connection. So the truth was somewhere out there and perhaps even in history some of this stuff that you read may have had you know its roots in what was happening on the earth before the flood. The flood itself is another story. It's interesting to know and I've not read all of them in the myths and legends of China, South America. I believe North American Indigenous peoples too as well as the Middle East there are lots and lots of stories of a universal flood. And again they're linked back into this story of prehistory that we're going to read and believe happens. So it's interesting you know that as humanity spread across the world again that some of these stories might have been passed down who knows. I'll leave that with you that's not necessarily truth it's just a thought for the day. What is true today as we think about it is that people are still fascinated with the supernatural. Just have to look at some of the programs on the TV, some of the films. It's something that people find interesting and attractive but I want to say this to you having dealt with this kind of stuff for years and on this estate having to deal with some very serious stuff over the years and calling myself at times the ghost buster you know because that was language they understood. There are serious warnings in scripture to have nothing to do with the occult, to have nothing to do with this, to keep away it's real, it's dangerous and it's damaging. But I want to declare today that the power of Jesus is far more greater than anything that this that happens here. Time and time and those of us who say let's do a bit of petty costumes. Say amen. Yeah God doesn't want us. He wants us to walk with him. He doesn't want us to sleep with the enemy. Ephesians 5 verse 11 says have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness and if you have been messing around with this stuff can I just say what Jesus said to a lot of people when they came to him stop it. Stop it. What I would suggest is part of the horror that you see in God in Genesis chapter 6 is that these boundaries have been really broken down in such a way that this has become you know it's beyond just what would normally happen in terms of sin. So what do we discover about God's character in these verses? First chapter 6 verse 5 we read that God sees everything and he doesn't turn a blind eye. He's not just seeing what's happening out there but we read that he even sees inside the hearts and minds of the people. So what God saw in Genesis 1 was good and very good and what he's seeing now appoles him and horrifies him. I wonder what God sees in our world today. He knows our thoughts the Psalmist says. He knows everything about us. We can't hide from him even if we make our bed in the depths David said I can't get away from you God. I cannot run from God. None of us in here can run from God. He sees and he knows what he saw was a complete and utter mess and this contrast between the beauty of man that he he created who has now been disfigured by sin and changed into other sort of it's a look different and the difference, as I say a people that have gone from walking with God to walking away from God and sleeping with the enemy. Verse 5 says that God saw great wickedness in times of how man was acting and in verse 11 and 12 which we've not come up today he talked about a world that was filled with corruption and violence. When something's filled there's no room for anything else. There was no room for God and sin has spread like a pandemic. It was everywhere and no one seemed to be immune and in verse 5 you read these three words. Every only continually man was fixated on this corruption. It was everywhere and it was continually the Hebrew means every day. Every intention, every thought, every heart's desire was only and continually evil. Wow this is how far man had sunk when we get to Genesis chapter 6. What in three little four little chapters? I mean there are hundreds of years but it's just a scary thought isn't it really? Man was rotten inside and out into the core. No fear of God, no respect for God, no interesting God. God sees and saw everything and he sees and sees everything he does too. Secondly God feels pain. Have you ever thought about that? There's real heartache and pain and sorrow. We read that God was grieved to his heart. That's a deep heartache. That's a terrible sorrow. Have you ever, well I presume we all have to some degree felt rejection in relationships, loss of friendships of family of individuals of loved ones, love that's walked away from us, people that have hurt us who we trusted and the pain we feel in that rejection. Is nothing like what God feels. He is grieved to his heart by disobedience. God hurts. I could hurt God. Wow. Hey. That's a very human picture of God you might say but let's put it the right way around. We read in Genesis 1 of course verse 26 that God made man in our image in God's image and perhaps some of that is actually part of God's nature in us to feel lost, to feel pain, to feel those kind of things that he feels. God is hurting. God is sorry. God has regrets. The third point about God's character is God judges. Now God can judge because he's righteous and because he sees everything and knows everything including the thoughts and desires of our human heart, he has all the evidence in front of him. He knows the truth. He's not waiting for somebody to put the hand on the Bible and say, you know, I promise I'm going to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth and then doesn't. He knows. So he is the righteous judge who can judge unlike us who gets so judgmental and we don't have all the facts. We don't know everything about everything. We don't know what's going on in people's lives. We make judgment on a very superficial level and God says don't do that. Says don't judge people like that but God because he's righteous and because he's holy can judge. He has the right to be the judge. He's the sovereign God who can and does judge and there is a point where he has said this is a cutoff point. A time when I will blow the whistle on this game and say it's finished, game over. We need to start again. He says in verse three, my spirit will not always strive or contend or abide depends what version you've got with man forever. There's going to be judgment. Now it's not something we talk about as a church a lot but actually it is part of our belief, a fundamental part of our belief as Christians that one day God is going to judge us. Cheer up. He's going to judge the world. And I think that that's something that we need to consider. Where do we stand with God? Where are we in our relationship with God? So God starts to put a judgment on man. Firstly, he says I'm going to put a time limit on mankind of 120 years. Now we've heard about how long people lived last week when in Genesis chapter 5. There are two ways of looking at these and they both could be right. One is that the time limit is the 120 years to the flood because in one Peter 3 verse 20 Peter speaks of God's great patience or long suffering in waiting for Noah to build this ark before judgment would come. It's not that God makes a knee-jet reaction to our sins. It's not like us when we lose our rag and we say right that's it. I'm going to sort this out. God is much more restrained than humanity is. That's part of his kindness and his nature. But essentially that 120 years could be that but it could also be a time limit on man's life. Could be both. Despite everything we have to accept as human beings that it is God's right to judge the earth. It used to be quite popular though not very particularly helpful all the time for people to be marching could have been down the moor with signs that said flee the judgment to come. And even Christians at times we got a bit too curling about it you know thinking that's a bit embarrassing. But there's a truth in it. There's a truth in it really that we have to accept. There's a heaven to gain and a hell to shun. The creed that was read out in many Anglican churches well in every Anglican church says he will come again to judge both the living and the dead. Judgment when God judges is final. There's no appeal call. But having said that judgment isn't the final word because this first passage ends with hope in the midst of all this hopelessness this mess that humanity's got itself into. You have these brilliant verse in verse 8 says something about God's character the God who sees the God who feels the God who judges is also the God of grace. Thank God for grace. You know we sit here today because of God's grace and mercy towards us because of what Jesus did on the cross we do not fear judgments praise you Jesus. Noah we read in verse 8 found favor of grace in the eyes of God. God saw something in Noah and that's just a wonderful thought isn't it? So we now come on to part two and I'm not reading out all the verses from verse 9 to verse 22 we've seen how bad things got. God hasn't changed his mind about judgments but he is providing also salvation for Noah and his family. Verse 9 of Genesis chapter 6 says these words Noah was a righteous man blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God that phrase again that we had that Rick was talking to us about last week and we read at the end of the chapter that Noah did all that God commanded him. Noah may have been the last man standing and it's pretty clear that God's grace came first in this. God saw Noah and Noah found favoring God's eyes but Noah himself was an outstanding man he stood out. He was an example to us of a life well lived an example if you like of what God was expecting and hoping for and longing for in humanity the kind of human being that God wants to have a relationship with we read that he was righteous blameless in his generation and that he walked with God. We also read in two Peter two verse five that he was a preacher of righteousness. He wasn't just a righteous man in a society as corrupt as it was where he was spending all his waking hours probably building a boat. He also preached righteousness. He spoke out against the corruption and the mess of the society that he was in. We read in Hebrews 11 verse 7 this is the chapter about heroes of faith that Noah is in there Noah was a man of faith. Can you imagine the faith it takes to spend decades of your life? I mean we're talking about decades of your life up to 120 years one could argue you know it's taking a long time to build a boat all the hard labor all the actual physical cost as well as the expense of it. This is a huge undertaking on dry land with no apparent sign of a judgment to come. I guess a lot of you may have been to Barcelona and seen Sagrada La Familia at the Holy Family Church which is a gaudy gaudy church which is still being built even with modern architecture and all the things that people know over a hundred years well over a hundred years they're still building that cathedral. How are all these people if his family were involved in it how are they going to build this massive massive boat? We don't know that he was a carpenter we certainly don't think he was a ship builder he wasn't a civil engineer but God gave him instructions and this man of faith lived his life without putting in a planning application can you imagine what his neighbors thought as this thing went and appeared in the back garden you know this is huge. He's building this huge arc which is a bit like a big chest actually it's not your classic boat it's a massive big box I mean I don't know how many years do you think that would take you a minute? You did all those 500 plus years ago wouldn't you? Together to that. He had no idea whether even the vessel that shape or size was float he had to believe God. He was a righteous man a proclaimer of righteousness a man of faith and finally and most importantly he was obedient he did everything that God asked him to do despite the time the cost the effort years and years of building this without knowing what the outcome was going to be he must have been tempted to think there's only eight of us shall we make it a bit smaller cut down on the cost at the time you know we don't really need three we don't need three levels in all these rooms you know we just make it a bit smaller we can squeeze it in surely but in order to escape judgment no one had to take God's word seriously and build his life on the plan and purpose of God so we get these specific instructions to build this arc and then we come to the final part of God's character the God who sees everything the God of feels pain the God who will judge and has judged the God of grace is also the God of covenant verse 18 of chapter six God says to Noah I will establish my covenant with you that means I will take action to make this happen it's the first mention ever of this word covenant in the Bible what is covenant well it's like a legal agreement between two parties you know that you sign up with a lawyer or so listen but it's very different from that in another way I feel like I'm doing a Chris Chris Simpson well it's one or the other no it's both really it's it's it's it's this legal covenant but in God's understanding it's much more covenant when you see that word is an agreement that God chooses to make with an individual or a people on his terms there's no negotiation and it's always involved with his action to make it possible and usually with a promise involved too a covenant explains something of God's plan and purpose and contains God's promise so here God promises Noah and it's a promise in the covenant that we have just celebrated today in communion a covenant is something that God will not break he honors his word he honors his side of this agreement he's not dodgy with this we can trust his word we have celebrated a covenant today this is my body this is my blood this is the new cut the blood of the new covenant a new agreement I am making between humanity and God a means of forgiveness a way of grace a way to avoid the destruction and judgment despite all that God has seen in us we have found favor in his sight just as Noah did and just as God promised Noah and his family salvation and rescue from judgment so we in Jesus Christ have that promise of salvation so as I come to an end of chapter six you know we are reminded to start with of the horror that humans can get up to if we left our own devices and continue to walk away from God but it also reveals some wonderful things about God's character the God who sees everything has heartache because of it because he loves because he cares but he's not going to be made a fool of by humanity he will judge but he will provide a way of escape and has done in Jesus grace and he has made a firm promise sealed in his blood in this new covenant that we can have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ so although this starts very dark let's go away with that sense of hope of what God has done for us and will do in our lives God bless you. Amen.
On this episode, I spoke with the pastor of my home parish, Fr. John Putnam, on how to make a parish holy.During our conversation, we covered:- Fr. Putnam's story- Why St. Mark's offers confessions multiple times a day, every day- How St. Mark's ended up offering perpetual adoration- The importance of the Mass- Why altar servers are a big part of every Sunday liturgy- How a parish can foster vocations in a real way- And much more...Biography:Father John Putnam has been the pastor of Saint Mark Catholic Church since 2015.

Fr. Gerald Murray is the Pastor of Holy Family Church in the Archdiocese of New York. He received his Doctorate in Canon Law from the Gregorian University in Rome in 1998, and he is one of the most well-respected Canon Lawyers in the church today. He also served in the U.S. Naval Reserve Chaplain Corps from 1994 to 2005. In Today's Show For someone relatively new to Catholicism, exactly what is a Canon Lawyer? What responsibilities does that title carry, and are there any special privileges or abilities that you possess that the typical priest would not? Now that Bishop Strickland has officially been removed as the Bishop of Tyler, I was hoping you could provide your thoughts or initial reaction. Were there grounds for a removal, and why or why not? And, what happens from here? What canonical law did Bishop Strickland break, if any? What does Canon Law say on the subject of transgenderism? I was married in the diocese of my now-wife, which was a non-US diocese. We did the marriage prep through the parish we were married in and I provided my baptismal, first communion and confirmation certificates as requested. Was there supposed to be some other dispensation granted by the Bishop of my diocese? If so, is my marriage valid? If transexual behavior is disordered, can a canon lawyer sue the Vatican using canon law? When a couple gets married and has a normal wedding mass up until the end, but the priest does not say the words “I pronounce you man and wife,” is that valid? I have a family member who is getting married. Both are Catholic but are not practicing anymore. When they get married outside the church, is that valid? If a church is closed by the Bishop, what happens to the money gathered by the sale? Who gets it? This situation with Bishop Strickland reminds me of the situation with St. Padre Pio. How do you think this will eventually be rectified? Would it be something similar? With the church's view on homosexuality, how did several homosexuals get ordained into the priesthood? What is Canon Law? Papal infallibility is something that I (and likely many other Catholics) have struggled to fully understand. What are the limits of that infallibility?

Welcome to a new edition of Vatican Insider on this third weekend of October. The Synod on Synodality continues but is, to the relief of probably all participants, nearing its end on October 29. I have been posting daily updates on the synod on Joan's Rome, and the Vatican news website has been offering some of the speeches given by participants in the synod. Again this week I focus on the synod in the interview segment where my guest is Fr. Gerald Murray, pastor at Holy Family Church in NY, prolific writer and noted Canon lawyer. He was in Rome to give a talk on the synod and to cover it as well. In Part I last weekend and Part II this weekend, Father talks about the serious concerns he has about the synod process, especially from the point of view of Canon law. This week especially, he also focuses on the Instrumentum laboris, the working document that guides both the preparation of a synod and its actual work.

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - Pope Francis at the end of his general audience on Wednesday morning announced another day of prayer and fasting for an end to the Israel-Hamas war, on October 27th. It will be “a day of penance to which I invite sisters and brothers of the various Christian denominations, those belonging to other religions, and all those who have at heart the cause of peace in the world, to join in as they see fit,” the Holy Father continued. The Holy Father's announcement comes after the Catholic Latin patriarch of Jerusalem, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, called for a global day of prayer and fasting, which was held on October 17, “to deliver to God the Father our thirst for peace, justice, and reconciliation.” The Holy Father's announcement was preceded by his renewed appeal for peace in the Holy Land. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255729/pope-francis-announces-prayer-vigil-day-of-fasting-for-peace-in-israel-hamas-war As the fighting between Hamas and the Israeli army continues in the Holy Land, the Catholic Church in Gaza is doing everything in its power to alleviate the burden of war on its affected members. The bloodshed and displacement have not spared the civilians in Gaza, who have borne the brunt of the raging war in a region that has not known safety and stability for about 75 years. At least 20 homes of Christian civilians have been completely destroyed as a result of Israeli bombing as well as homes that were partially damaged. Holy Family Church is the only Roman Catholic parish in the Gaza Strip and is located in the northern part of Gaza City. Israel's military had ordered the Palestinian civilians to evacuate south last week, but the church today still has several hundred people taking refuge in its buildings. Despite the siege and the harshness of war, the church continues to open its doors to worshippers daily, fulfilling its spiritual duties toward them, including the baptism of a baby. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255735/we-lack-food-and-medicine-catholics-in-gaza-take-refuge-in-only-parish-church Today, the Church celebrates Saint Paul of the Cross. After receiving a vision, and while still a layman, he founded the Barefoot Clerks of the Cross and the Passion (Passionists) in 1721 to preach about Jesus Crucified. He became a preacher of such power that even hardened soldiers and bandits were seen to weep. At one point all the brothers in the order deserted him, but in 1741 his rule was approved by Pope Benedict XIV, and the community began to grow again. Numerous miracles, in addition those special ones brought forward at his beatification and canonization, attested the favor he enjoyed with God. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-paul-of-the-cross-24 The Church also celebrates the eight North American martyrs, also known as the Candian Martyrs, the Jesuit Martyrs of North America or the Martyrs of France, which included six priests and two lay brothers. They were heroic members of the Society of Jesus who were martyred in North America in order to bring the Faith that is necessary for salvation to the Huron, the Iroquois and the Mohawks. Five of the eight North American martyrs were put to death in what is now Canada, and three of them in New York State. There is a shrine to the United States' martyrs at Auriesville in New York, and there is a shrine to the Canadian martyrs at Fort Saint Mary near Midland, Ontario. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/the-north-american-martyrs-25

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - Pope Francis has spoken by telephone with a Catholic priest serving in Gaza, according to the news agency of the Italian bishops' conference. The pope called Father Gabriel Romanelli, pastor of Holy Family Church, the only Catholic Church in Gaza City and in the Gaza Strip, on October 9. Romanelli said Francis shared “his closeness and prayers for the entire Church community of Gaza and all the parishioners and inhabitants” and imparted his blessing on them. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255630/pope-francis-calls-gaza-priest-as-israel-announces-blockade In a message to Vancouver's Jewish community, Vancouver Archbishop J Michael Miller “unequivocally condemned” Saturday's attack on Israel, calling it an offense against moral and international law. Commenting from Rome where he is attending the Synod on Synodality, the archbishop said Monday the news about “the Hamas incursion into Israel is devastating.” The nature of the attack and the taking of women and children as hostages was “a serious violation not only of international law but, even more importantly, of the moral law that is written in the conscience of every human being,” he said. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255640/archbishop-of-vancouver-calls-attack-on-israel-contrary-to-moral-and-international-law Two 12-year-olds were identified by police Sunday as suspects in the vandalism of a Massachusetts Catholic church, which included a fire being set to an altar cloth, a tabernacle cloth, and the lectionary. The two juveniles, a boy and a girl, will not face any charges at this time, police said. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255635/two-12-year-olds-identified-as-vandals-in-massachusetts-church-fire An Oklahoma school authority on Monday gave the thumbs-up to a contract for the nation's first religious charter school, a virtual Catholic institution that is facing challenges from advocates who claim the school would violate state law. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255634/oklahoma-board-approves-catholic-charter-school-contract Today the Church celebrates Saint John the 23rd. Born Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli at Sotto il Monte, Italy on November 25, 1881, Pope John XXIII was elected on October 28, 1958. He died June 3, 1963 in Rome and was beatified by Pope John Paul II on September 3, 2000. Elected Pope on the death of Pope Pius XII, he was an example of a ‘pastoral' Pope, a good shepherd who cared deeply for his sheep. He manifested this concern in his social enyclicals, especially Pacem in Terris, “On peace in the World.” His greatest act as Pope however was undoubtedly the inspiration to convoke the Second Vatican Council, which he opened on October 11, 1962. Pope John's spirit of humble simplicity, profound goodness, and deep life of prayer radiated in all that he did, and inspired people to affectionately call him “Good Pope John.” https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/pope-saint-john-xxiii-390 The Church also celebrates Saint Firminus, a fifth and sixth century bishop of bishop of Uzès. In 538, he signed the fourth and fifth Councils of Orléans in 541 and 549, respectively. In 551, he assisted at the second council of Paris. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-firminus-of-uzes-10

Quo Primum correctly: the Missale Romanum was established as THE Missal for all Christians, as the norm. He used the existing Missale Romanum. Non-Christian aggression - it has been Islam, they weren't the first and certainly not the only. Muslims have basically taken over all of Europe. It is very timely for this day. Madrid 2004 Barcelona Basilica - still not completed yet, it was a major place of pilgrimage. The designer the Holy Family Church in Barcelona, technically it is Spain but it isn't Spanish. HEADLINE: This is how the Barcelona attack was supposed to unfold by Tamar Lapin and Emily Saul He was a baptized Catholic - Hugh Owen will be speaking at this years Saint Benedict Conference in New Hampshire. Our true Origin Story is found in the book of Genesis. If we discard that than everything else in the Christian civilization is all based on a lie. HEADLINE: Man's Faculty of Speech Did Not Evolve by Sister Maria Philomena MICM Having shown the behind-the-scenes workings of the very faulty theory of evolution as so many proofs of Mr. Wolfe's central thesis — that speech is an artifact of man, not the result of evolution — the book comes to its denoument without a clear conclusion. Mr. Wolfe seems, after having torn the theory apart, to accept evolution — so long as its not applied to speech. If speech is, as Wolfe says, “a cardinal distinction between man and animal, a sheerly dividing line as abrupt and immovable as a cliff” (page 163) — with which conclusion I agree, by the way — where does the ability to speak, the power of language, come from? This is a question Mr. Wolfe doesn't even raise. As close as Tom Wolfe was to getting at the truth, he seems to have suffered from an intellectual myopia. As a “lapsed Presbyterian” who considered himself an atheist (but could not stand people who called themselves atheists), he evidently lacked the necessary perspective from which to critique Darwinism and answer the question of language more thoroughly. The quote about his religious non-affiliation, by the way, comes from an article that quoted him praising Catholic education! Modernism cut to the root of doctrine by inserting the idea nothing stays the same everything is in evolution or change. This is why they hate the traditional church and Mass. HEADLINE: Whitlock: The Los Angeles Dodgers and sports world take ‘Pride' in betraying the Christian founders of organized sports by Jason Whitlock Professional athletes would rather ally with the Alphabet Mafia than with Christians. People who see their primary identity as sexual have and had nothing to do with the rise of professional sports. It's the people whose primary identity is based in their relationship with Christ who built the sports world and almost everything else we enjoy in America. The same cowardice and stupidity afflict the athletes. They're ungrateful. They're too high on weed or too filled with pride to recognize their treason. Their handlers tell them what to think, whom to support, and what to ignore. Many of the athletes feign religious faith. Pride is the gateway drug to idolatry. The LGBTQ+ have placed their sexual and gender identity well above their identity in Christ. They're taking pride in being outside the body of Christ.

Ephesians 1: 11-14; Rs psalm 33: 1-2.4-5.12-13; Luke 12: 1-7 LIGHT VANISHES DARKNESS The theme for our meditation today is: Light Vanishes Darkness. There was a fifth grade elementary student named Anto, who screamed hysterically and cried in his room at midnight. He had a nightmare, where he was chased by some wild animals. His father immediately went into the room, turned on the light and calmed the son. Anto's fear slowly disappeared, but he asked his father not to leave him. The father must sleep with him. Anto really enjoyed a new light because the darkness and terrifying dream have vanished. For God and His power that we all believe in, that darkness is an enemy that must be defeated. Satan with all his tricks and wickedness play its main role in this darkness. There are many men and women who follow Satan in darkness. The darkness indeed blocks our eyes to see. Our hearts also cannot see things in the spiritual aspect when sin and evil really darken our minds and hearts. The Gospel readings these days of our daily celebration of liturgy illustrate how strong and even severe acts of Jesus toward the hypocritical attitude. Hypocrisy is, in principle, a pattern of living in darkness. Originally, hypocrite means actor, that is, a person who acts and becomes as if someone or something which is not his or her real self. Jesus faught this attitude till the end of His life on earth. The hypocritical people act and appear really good and holy for others to see, but in fact they are evil doers and trouble makers. The hypocritical people love to wear masks to cover their weaknesses and evil plans, and this really reveals their darkness life. They always worry that light will confront their darkness then finally reveal their secrets. They actually bear heavy burden and have a miserable life. At first they fear of themselves because in certain point of life they will not be able to maintain this darkness that always protects them. They also are afraid of other people and the Lord as well because time will come when their lies and hypocrisy will be known by the public. So to remain true followers of Christ, we need to stop being hypocritical. This darkness surely will not last forever. God and His angels, including those around us, plus the help of the advancement of communication tools today, sooner or later will reaveal everything from its hidden darkness. Saint Paul in his letter which is our first reading today, affirms that our life which is guided by the Holy Spirit is a life of light. The darkness vanishes, and we must maintain this precious life. Let's pray. In the name of the Father ... O glorious Lord Jesus Chirst, under the light of Your resurrection, may we always power to spread Your truth to the whole world. Glory to the Father ...

Delivered by Cynthiana Santos from Holy Family Church, Archdiocese of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. 1 Corinthians 12: 12-14.27-31a; Rs psalm 100: 2-5.R-3c; Luke 7: 11-17 GOD KNOWS HOW TO DO FOR US The theme of our meditation today is: God Knows How To Do for Us. Our reflection here emphasizes how God comes in His own power, because he knows and sees our difficult situation and many sufferings that we bear. The theological term for such action of God is compassion. In the scriptures there are many events about the Lord Jesus falls pity for those who are in need and suffering, and He promptly acts to help and comfort them. One of them is what He does in the Gospel of today, bringing into life a widow's only child who already died. God knows with certainty all the suffering of human life in various forms and conditions. For example the widow of Naim, obviously she lost everything, especially her only child who was supposed to be the source her welfare and future. There are many concrete situations in our personal, family, or neighborhood that are very discouraging and pity, which in God rests all our hope for His mercy. All of these are so real before the eyes of God. We do not always bring and present them entirely before God through our cries and urgent prayers asking for help. As our condition life already concerns God's attention, it should be regarded as our silent prayers. It is enough what is seen as our actual helpless situation, and there is no expressed words needed to call God's attention, we simply need to surrender our life under His power and mercy. This is true because He already knows everything. Prayers of this kind really require our sincerity and our pure motivation. We need to avoid lie or falsehood in the appearance of the ones who suffer. Street beggars often lie the passers-by if they don't have hands and feet, so people are prompt to have pity on them. But when they are confronted with honesty and being true of themselves, their lies are finally unfolded. They intend to use artificial materials to cover up their real and normal bodies. We should never deceive God in this same manner when we ask Him for help. God will delay His blessing on us or even punish us instead when we intend to deceive Him. So we really need to present ourselves as what we are at this very moment with our strengths and weaknesses, especially our real sufferings and difficulties. God already knows all things about us. Without words or appeals to call up His attention and campassion, the desire of our hearts and the tears of our eyes can already reach His merciful heart and we are open for His intervention that comes for our sake. Let's pray. In the name of the Father ... Into your hands, O Father almighty, we entrust our lives. Make us always humble and honest before your presence.

Delivered by Cynthiana Santos from Holy Family Church, Archdiocese of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. Romans 8: 28-30; Rs psalm 13: 6ab.6cd.R-Yes 61:10; Matthew 1: 1-16.18-23 A SPECIAL NATIVITY The theme for our meditation today is: A Special Nativity. The Catholic Church celebrates today the feast of the nativity of Our Blessed Mother, the Virgin Mary. This celebration has a long tradition on how Christians give their respect and devotion to Mary. We who celebrate this today, want to ponder the mystery of her birth and to know the story line of her families. At the beginning of the Gospel of Matthew, there is an account about Mary who gave birth to Jesus, and Joseph as the legal adoptive Father of Jesus, descended from the family of the King David. The very first reason we celebrate the Virgin Mary's birthday is because she is associated with Jesus Christ. It is reasonable and well acceptable that if Jesus is indeed a glorious Lord, the Son of God and the Redeemer of mankind, then the mother who had conceived and had given birth to Him must also be a noble and holy woman. If the birth of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, has been greatly believed and remembered throughout the ages, then the birth of His mother must also have the same honor and best memory from all the believers. There is another reason which is in relation with her very particular gift from God, that the Virgin Mary is full of grace. If the fullness of grace had been established by God from the first moment of her conception, and therefore, Mary was immaculate from her mother Anna's womb, then the following stages such us during 9 months of life in the womb and then the actual birth itself, Mary was also full of grace. We celebrate the glorious birth of Our Lady today is to mark the continuation of giving honor to the Lord for what had happened to Mary by the divine intervention, namely her conception that was immaculate or free from the original sin. This special nativity of Mary indeed reminds us of a number of special births as narrated in the scriptures. We mention just three of them that happened before Mary herself. Isaac was born to Abraham and Sarah who were already very old to have a child. God is understood to have make the offsprings of mankind with a very special way. In the book of Judges chapter 13, it tells the story of Samson who was born especially because God had planned to help the Israelites through the role that Samson would undertake. Then the prophet Isaiah revealed himself that he had been specially formed by God from the time he was in his mother's womb (Is 49.5). These all illustrate that a special birth must be through God's work and with God's decisive will. For us Christians, our participation and being adopted sons and daughters of God through the Lord Jesus Christ really make us special. This means that each of our birth into the world is also special. It is impossible to think of a person born special and gifted with divine grace, but he or she was not in connection with the Lord who is the source of all graces . We were actually born special, because God had given us also special vocation for each to be realized in life. Let's pray. In the name of the Father ... O most loving God, may with this special feast of the nativity of Virgin Mary, we will become more faithful children of Our Lady following the example Jesus Christ, our Lord and savior.

There were two persons, the husband and his wife tourists came to visit Indonesia. They stayed in Bali for five days, and the next five days they were in Labuan Bajo. While in Bali they were accompanied by a Hindu guide. While in Labuan Bajo they were accompanied by a Catholic guide. The guides equip their cars with religious symbols and always pray during the trip. The two tourists realized that they have not prayed for a long time. They have forgotten that they have been baptized in the past. They honestly said to the guides who are Hindu and Catholic in this way: "We realize that as human persons with less spiritual qualities, it makes us ashamed to see you in your religious practices". With this humble self-recognition, their discomfort disappeared and they were reminded of the very important spiritual aspect of human life in this world. So far, spiritual things have not been their concern in their daily lives. We need to honestly admit that when we are busy with everything from morning to the moment we go to bed, there are so many experiences and situations that we immerse ourselves in various worldly ways. It is very reasonable to make us act, think, feel the way the world wants us to be. Only when there is an opportunity for mental examination and awareness, for example before going to bed, do we really realize that in one day, the spiritual dimension is just so little or even nothing come along with us during the entire day. For Catholics, Sunday worship is an obligation. But this is not simply an obligation or driven by other motivations. The real motivation is the need for constant self-renewal, so that created in them the spiritual human persons who accept Christ, and they continue to live in Jesus Christ day by day. This is what we mean by the spiritual person which Saint Paul emphasizes in the first reading today, the first letter to the Corinthians. Being a spiritual person is the duty of every follower of Christ. With that spiritual quality, we can act like Jesus Christ, such as casting out evil spirits that always threaten our lives. Where there are human persons with adequate spiritual qualities, their smell and light can attract others to them, to also grow stronger in their spiritual life. Even evil spirits who are moved by their evil and powerful ways, would already know right away that the quality of spiritual persons is far stronger and more powerful than their best strategy and desire. Let's pray. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit ... O God, strengthen our faith so that we can fight against all the evil powers around us. Hail Mary full of grace ...

We are fortunate to have a God who allows us to aim high, as high and as perfect as He Himself. We are given the possibility to think of an abundance. We pray for it and we learn too. We say that God is truly abundant and we also believe that God is giving us abundant gifts. Monica is a housewife who lives by enjoying the abundance of God's grace, for her piety and obedience to Christ. With this spirit of life, she tries with all her strength so that her husband, who works as a transport driver and her two children who are still in elementary school, can enjoy a comfortable life in their simple home. It is enough to say that living in abundance of grace is a major part of our faith. If God does not provide that abundance for us, it is very likely that it is not the God we believe in. But God had to reveal Himself. He is not a God who is closed or hidden and very far from us. The Christian community in the city of Corinth grew up in a spiritual atmosphere filled with the abundance of God's grace and gifts. This growth was pleasing and comforting the heart of Saint Paul who had the responsibility to look after and care for this community. Paul prayed and asked for blessings for them, may our Lord Jesus Christ increase and bestow love to reign over all of their lives. A growth and testimony of a true and good life must indeed be supported in order to develop even better. On the other hand, unsupportive and indifferent attitude should be avoided. In the abundance of grace, we really enjoy the presence of God who bestows various blessings on us. One of the most important gifts is vigilance or alertness. People who are ready and alert are those who are full of hope, joy and enthusiasm that God will reveal His will in any moment of life. The opposite attitude is laziness, indifference or opposition to God's presence and actions. This is a sign that people are not grateful for the abundance of God's grace, and as a result they always regard all difficulties and suffering as mere torment of life. So the good news for us is, God who is almighty in His abundance wants to share with us at all times, it's just our turn to receive and live in the abundance of His grace. Let's pray. In the name of the Father... Thanks for your abundance of grace, Father, we may enter this new day, in addition to enjoying every moment of Your glory, we also have the opportunity to act according to our calling and duties. Our Father who is in Heaven... In the name of the Father... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/media-la-porta/message

Delivered by Cynthiana Santos from the Holy Family Church, Archdiocese of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. Amos 7: 10-17; Rs psalm 19: 8.9.10.11; Matthew 9: 1-8 TOTAL HEALING Our meditation today has the theme: Total Healing. There was a man known as a troublemaker in his neighborhood. The people there were afraid of him. He was a drunkard and a drug user as well. Then he became a drug dealer whose actions were so brutal, especially towards someone who wanted to say or do something against him. In short, his mental state, moral values and faith have been very bad to all around him. However, the police force finally succeeded in putting him down after a violence broke out in the city and he was noticed as the main figure who was the brain of the incident. Both of his legs were badly hit with two bullets sinking into them and he was almost completely paralyzed. In the end he had to spend days, months and years in prison. His neighborhood became safe and peaceful without him. Now there was a religious person who came to visit him regularly and that man was able to receive proper spiritual accompaniment and formation. This man then acquired a lot of spiritual experience and moral guidance during his life in prison. All these help have benefitted him to have a new outlook from which he could begin a new life. The change gradually occurred in him. When his term in prison finished and he was back to his family, he was truly a new person. He looked fresh and healthy. His words and deeds, his way of understanding and behaving pleased everybody. His thought about life was open and full of wisdom. His faith grew again. That man's experience is an example of a total healing. This type of healing is what Jesus Christ wants to occur in us, which includes the aspects of physical, mental, social and spiritual growth. At that particular moment of His ministry, Jesus knew that the paralytic man was also a sinner so what He treated first in that man was to cast out his sins by forgiving him. After that Jesus mended him from his physical sickness, then healed also his mind and soul. Many of us want to be cured only partially, not wanting a total healing. Maybe we are just looking for a certain physical or mental healing which is already sufficient for us. A person may have recovered from stress and disappointment, but he/she still has anger and a plan of revenge to the one who has disappointed him/her. People may feel comfortable after receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation, but they do not regret their sins, thus they easily fall into the same sins. All these indicate what we call the half recovery. This means that we are still sick. We need to point out certain parts of ourselves that have not yet been healed because we have not paid attention to healing. Those parts are likely to be the barriers for making a total healing in ourselves. We need to give attention to this in order to obtain a complete recovery. Let us pray ... In the name of the Father ... O most holy Father, look upon us and heal us, especially the parts within us that have not been healed, because we tend to avoid being healed. Please grant us your grace of healing. Our Father who art in heaven ... In the name of the Father .... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/media-la-porta/message

Delivered by Cynthiana Santos from Holy Family Church, diocese of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Malaysia. Isaiah 49: 1-6; Rs psalm 139: 1-3.13-14ab.14c-15; Acts of the Apostles 13: 22-26; Luke 1: 57-66.80 HIS NAME IS JOHN The theme for our meditation today is: His Name is John. In the Christian Church, both in the East and the West, which is the Latin-Roman Catholic, the birth of John the Baptist is celebrated together on the same day. We make it a solemnity, because John had shown his very important role in relation to the mission of Jesus Christ on earth. The news of John as the gift of God into the lives of Zechariah and Elisabeth was already a great news that astonished many people. This was followed by the mission that John carried out later, which was to prepare people to welcome Jesus Christ. The Messiah for Israel was a great king who had all the powers and was the highest hope for their peaceful and secure life. The preparation must be very big and the best ever. The person of John from his mother's womb, following his birth, and his mission, was like a red carpet to the great king Jesus Christ. He had astonished the world and changed it to the light for a new life, even people as evil as Herod were reluctant to him. But he himself admitted that Jesus was far greater than him. He volunteered to be a red carpet that stretched on the ground as an open and honorable way for Jesus Christ to come and pass over it. The birth of John the Baptist gives us the meaning of a mission or duty that reflects the life as a call. The name "John" attached to him means "God is full of grace". According to the book of the prophet Jeremiah, the name of a person has been made since he was in the mother's womb. A given name signifies the person is known and entrusted a specific mission he has to carry out after his birth. So the birth of a child, which means all of us, is already in God's plan. None of us has been born by chance or simply a spontaneity. John the baptist prepared the way for the source of all graces to come into the world to cast away sins and to bring salvation. We can actually use every grace bestowed by God, especially through the sacraments that we receive to be cleansed from sin, to renew life, and to live a new life. To have and to enjoy a new life then does not make us greater, arrogant, and just having fun. Our new life must have a commitment to follow John's style namely to become a red carpet for God, especially in our services to others. Let them know that God does good things in their lives and not we who do good to them. Let's pray. In the name of the Father ... Our good and loving God, may the today's celebration strengthen our zeal to share Your mercy to our neighbors, especially those who are in need. Glory to the Father ...

Delivered by Chyntiana Santos from Holy Family Church, Archdiocese of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. 2 Kings 11: 1-4.9-18.20; Rs psalm 132: 11-12.13-14.17-18; Matthew 6: 19-23 ETERNAL TREASURE Our meditation today has the theme: Eternal Treasure. On a bend in a big city street that leads to a large and modern shopping center, just around the corner, there is a homeless man, who is fed every day by passers-by. He seems to be sitting and lying on top of his pile of things. It is possible that he is disabled so he cannot stand and walk. Every time begging to passers-by, the words that always come out of his mouth are: "For the salvation of my soul and body." Of course, if this expression is absorbed for a moment, we agree that this expression has a deep spiritual meaning. Maybe he was sometimes invited by people to talk, but what he says is an invitation for everyone to talk to others and to themselves. Many people flood the mall with all their money for shopping. They enter and leave the mall with the appearance of civilized and educated people to show their identity as the people of this century. They want to enjoy the joys of this world in the big air-conditioned building. The poor man clearly shows his poor condition by begging, but at the same time he offers a very important teaching to everyone about identity as a dignified human person created by the Almighty God. This relates to God's purpose in sending us into the world, in taking care of us and in bringing us to His place after this life on earth ends. The salvation of soul and body is a principle of life in this world which is expressed spiritually in the form of our salvation as children of God the most high. The Lord Jesus calls our attention through the proclamation of the Gospel today about the possession of treasures in this world and also treasures for us after this world. The poor man who lives on that city corner indeed answers the teaching of the Lord by proclaiming to the world that the real treasure for human beings is their body and soul, which is justified by God. The people of this world who struggle to make a living anywhere and under any conditions, those who work with muscle and with mind, those who have and those who are poor, those who are sick and healthy; all are reminded with the same invitation, namely: the priority of the goodness and salvation of body and soul. To ensure that we always keep this eternal treasure in our attention, Saint Paul makes one suggestion, namely that we should take care of one another in Christ, so that all may be saved. In this world there are so many powers that do not bring salvation to us. They are all not from God. We must not follow them. Let's pray. In the name of the Father... O God, bless us so that we may have You as our eternal treasure. Hail Mary full of grace ... In the name of the Father... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/media-la-porta/message
Father Jason Hage interviews Father John Manno, Pastor of Holy Family Church in Fairmount and the Vicar for Priests for the Diocese of Syracuse, on the impact of being "called by name." Father Manno shares his powerful testimony of how his home parish literally called him by name when he was in high school. His childhood pastor organized a weekend whereby parishioners wrote the names of the young people in their parish who they thought would make a great priest and/or religious. Father Manno was shocked when his pastor handed him a stack of index cards submitted by parishioners all with his name on it! His story demonstrates the power of lay people calling forth vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life from their parishes.
In the first installment of this new podcast series, Chicago Catholic editor Joyce Duriga interviews local historian Ellen Skerrett about new research she has uncovered about Jesuit Father Arnold Damen, pastor of Holy Family Church on Roosevelt Road and Ignatius College, and the vital aid he gave to Catholic immigrants who lost everything in the Chicago Fire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHqorUq6GHY Skerrett also talks about anti-Catholicism of the day and how it impacted the narrative of the Great Chicago Fire, including what was believed about the fire's origins and Mrs. O'Leary.

If you like what we do, please subscribe and share this podcast on social media. The more, the merrier!Let's start the second week of this podcast with a story we read last evening on the Massa Carrara edition of Il Tirreno, something quite unusual these days, a very normal Sunday at the beach. As Tuscany could become a Red zone next week, many families took the chance to enjoy the sun and the unseasonably warm weather to have a trip to the beach. Not many were willing to brave the icy waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea but many wore swimsuits and were sunbathing on towels or deckchairs. Others played sports, from racketball to volleyball. A kite surf and wing surf school tried to promote their activities, show their latest models but were unable to have lessons or exhibitions due to the complete lack of wind. All in all, a nice Sunday with plenty of relaxation, pic-nics and a bit of activity to facilitate the digestion. Let's hope that this is a good sign and that soon we will all be able to get back to the real normal.As many are already craving for the summer, let's continue with another sea story, this time from Leghorn. As we read on Il Tirreno, the story of an 18 year old lifeguard saving a windsurfer at sea prompted enthusiastic reactions on social media in the port town. Friday evening, as she was taking a walk on the beach, Martina Lottini realized that a windsurfer was in trouble and couldn't get back to shore. Without thinking twice, she took off her shoes, grabbed a stand up paddle and rowed for an hour, wearing jeans and a shirt against the wind and the currents. Once she got to him, she realized that his wing was damaged and that he had hurt his shoulder. The sirocco wind was pushing him away from the shore but they slowly managed to get back to safety. When they landed, the few people on the Academy Beach cheered her courage. Many people from Leghorn were quick to follow. On the Tirreno Facebook page, a reader says that “many of the beach body-builders would have never been willing to jump in the sea in February” end quote. I must concur with him. No matter how much I love the sea, at this time of the year it's a tad too chilly for my taste... Let's move on to the usual report on those petty crimes that do not stop for the weekend, at least in Leghorn. If we had read on Il Tirreno of yet another theft in a local school, where the coffee machine was broken into, on QuiLivorno we read of something more unusual, a hit on a parking meter, with explosives. At 11:45 PM last night a loud bang awakened the people downtown. When the fire department and the Carabinieri got there, they quickly realized that the explosion had destroyed the automatic parking meter, throwing shrapnel meters away. There are those that think this was just simple vandalism, but the fact that the coins inside the meter were nowhere to be found makes you think about a theft. Same thing happened in the Collodi school, which was hit in the night between Saturday and Sunday. Now, I know that this damned crisis is hitting hard every one of us, but this looks a lot like scraping the bottom of the barrel...Let's move on to a remarkable story we read on Siena News, that of a civil engineer that has been walking from North Cape to Capetown for more than six years to raise funds for cancer patients. Thair Abud, Austrian citizen born from an Iraqi father and a German mother, just got to Siena but his path has brought him from Norway to Spain to Morocco. After the border was closed due to the COVID pandemic, he managed to get home to Austria, before leaving again to Slovenia and then Italy. He will shortly leave Siena and head for Sicily, before crossing again to Africa. After walking the Way of St James after his sister was diagnosed with breast cancer, Thaid continued walking to raise funds for Doctor Clown Tanzania, an organization that tries to cheer up the many pediatric cancer patients in the African country. A really singular story that you will be able to follow on his social media accounts.We don't usually talk about Tuscan football, soccer if you wish, on this podcast, mainly because it's difficult to follow tournaments that have games every day from Friday to Monday. We'll try to cover the results with a quick recap of the main games of the weekend - let us know if you like it or not in the comments below. In Serie A convincing win from Fiorentina, that beat Spezia three nil. Vlahovic, Castrovilli and Eysseric on the scoreboard. The Viola are now at 25 points, plus ten from the relegation zone. In Serie B, one one in the big match between Pisa and Empoli. After shocking high-flying Monza two nil away, the Nerazzurri caused more than a headache to table leaders Empoli, before a late equalizer. Pisa at 32 points, minus five from the playoffs, while Empoli is still leading at 45, three more than Monza. In the A group of Serie C, nothing much to cheer for the Tuscan clubs. If Grosseto drew nil-nil at Albinoleffe, Carrarese was beaten home two one from Novara. A draw between Lucchese and Juventus Under 23 while Leghorn continues its downward spiral losing one-nil home against Renate. Nil-nil draw between Pontedera and Alessandria. In the B group, convincing win from the Cinderella Arezzo, which beat Matelica two-nil.Let's close today's episode with a funny story we read on La Repubblica Florence. A priest of a local church found a creative way to solve the problem of the traditional Lent home blessings, a do-it-yourself ceremony. The vicar of the Holy Family Church in Via Gioberti, don Andrea Marianelli, instead of mailing the usual flyer to his parishioners with the date and time of the home blessings, decided to stick some signs in the lobby of high-rises in the Campo di Marte area, inviting people to get to the church to collect a bottle of Holy water and the prayer to bless themselves and their family. Parishioners were perplexed by this initiative. Some asked where to put the Holy Water - in a plant sprayer? - others shook their heads in disbelief. If last year we saw vicars running around to have mass blessings in various vehicles across Tuscany - a convertible Beetle in San Miniato, for example - this year they went a step further. Right you are - if you think so...That was all for today, I'm your host Luca Bocci and I'll see you tomorrow for another episode of What's Up Tuscany, the daily podcast from L'Arno where you'll find the news that, according to us, are well worth a second look. Thanks for listening and goodbye!
What is a motet? Where did this musical genre come from? What has the word "motet" meant throughout history? What can motets of the past teach us about incorporating non-obligatory texts into the sacred liturgy? How can the music and texts of motets make the other texts of the Mass, especially those of the lectionary, come to life? We explore these questions with Dr. Aaron James, the Director of Music for the Toronto Oratory of St Philip Neri, serving the music program at Holy Family Church in Toronto. He’s a graduate of the Eastman school of music, earning there both the PhD in musicology and a DMA in organ performance. He shares helpful scholarly insights which help illuminate the path for music directors as they make repertory choices. Too, we hear some recordings produced by the singers in his excellent parish music program. The Oratory's YouTube channel is available at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRRUmJAW2o_nh74VB3ijYxQ The website for the music program of the oratory is: https://oratory-toronto.org/holy-family-parish/choirs/

Preaching for the Feast of the Holy Family, Cambria Tortorelli offers a reflection on building community and standing in solidarity with the vulnerable -- especially refugees and asylum seekers: "Building solidarity between communities that are very different, and yet have so much in common through our shared faith and humanity, is essential to making our hearts bigger and more understanding of one another’s struggles. After all, it is through healthy loving relationships that grace is unleashed in the world. " Cambria Tortorelli has served as the Parish Life Director (pastoral leader) at Holy Family Church in South Pasadena, California, since 2008. She holds a BA in English Language and Literature from Oxford University in England, and a Master’s Degree in Religious Studies from Mount St. Mary’s University in Los Angeles.

We lost a good friend and beloved pastor this week with the death of Fr. Gerry Creedon, pastor of Holy Family Church in Dale City. He died Nov. 16 from complications following heart surgery. He was 73. Originally from County Cork, Ireland, the fourth of 14 children was ordained a priest for the Richmond Diocese in 1968. He served in parishes in Alexandria, McLean and Arlington before being assigned to start the diocesan mission in Bánica, Dominican Republic, in 1995. Living among the Dominicans on the remote frontier on the Haitian border, the dynamic priest re-established a relationship between the church and the community. His impact on the small Caribbean nation will likely never fully realized. As much as the Dominicans loved their Irish priest, he found a home and sustenance there bringing the sacraments to the people in the rugged far-off corners, and working to mobilize the community for much-needed advancements.
