Christ the Fulfillment: St. Paul Proclaims the Past, and the Power of the Present The Church marks the midpoint of the Easter season and . . . . . . highlights a shift in the liturgical readings toward Jesus' teachings during the Last Supper. These teachings serve to deepen the understanding of the mysteries of Christ's death and resurrection. The Homily emphasizes that these events are not just historical but living realities made present through the liturgy, especially in the Mass. The Decisive Moment in History Saint Paul's speech in the synagogue, in the First Reading, underscores that the entire history of Israel . . . Abraham, Moses, David, the prophets . . . was not merely a buildup to Christ, but served the purpose of revealing Him. Paul proclaims that Jesus' resurrection is the decisive moment in history, fulfilling and surpassing all that came before. Jesus' act of washing the disciples' feet sets the tone for discipleship: humility, service, and fidelity. The Mass is emphasized as the place where Christ's sacrifice is made present, where believers physically engage with the saving mystery. The upcoming gospel are not just teachings but revelations that invite Christians to enter more deeply into the death and resurrection of Jesus . . . a reality proclaimed and professed in every Eucharist. Listen to: Christ the Fulfillment: St. Paul Proclaims the Past, and the Power of the Present ------------------------------------------------------------ A Quote from the Homily What a powerful statement that is. That the fulcrum of all of this, the point of all of this, the goal of those many centuries of history of that tortured relationship of Israel with its God, this history of faithfulness and unfaithfulness all comes down to this glorious point now where we see that God has indeed done something unexpected, something marvelous, something new. And so it is. Paul concludes his reflection with those words of John the Baptist. I am not the one. Nothing in the past is the one. There is one who is greater than I, and now Paul announces the one who is greater, the one who is greater than all of the others, is the one who has risen from the dead. The one who is greater, the one who is the reason for all of these other things. ------------------------------------------------------------ Christ the Savior with the Eucharist: Spanish Painter: Juan de Juanes:  1545 – 1550 This oil-based painting on wood is one of three parts.

Living Jesus: The Christian Journey Explained Today's Readings emphasizes the exclusivity and centrality of Jesus Christ in Christian faith. This means that while human nature longs for options and multiple paths, scripture is clear that there are only two ways: God's way and not God's way. The Homily underscores that Jesus is not merely a guide or teacher but the embodiment of the way, the truth, and the life. Faith in God is inseparable from faith in Jesus, who reveals God fully and is the fulfillment of all of God's work in history. Further, the audio also highlights how Jesus prepares not just a place for his followers in heaven, but prepares them for that place through faith. It addresses the human tendency to seek certainty through rules or checklists, while Jesus calls for a relationship grounded in faith, trust, and spiritual transformation. The ultimate message is that Christian life is not about following a system of rules, but about living in and through Jesus Christ, who is both the journey and the destination. Listen to: Living Jesus: The Christian Journey Explained --------------------------------------------------------------------- A quote from the Homily The work of God through the many centuries of human history is focused on Jesus Christ. There is no other focus. I go away to prepare a place for you. And because I am preparing a place for you, I will return. What Exactly Does Jesus Mean? And as he says this, the Lord unpacks a very important mystery. How does the Lord go to prepare a place for us? The place has already been selected. The place is already waiting. What does it mean to say that he goes to prepare a place, but also that he goes that we might be prepared to enter that place? That's the preparation. It is not the Lord getting heaven ready for us. The place is prepared by the Lord. Getting us ready for heaven. I go away that you might become prepared. I go away. That you might live by faith and not by sight. Notice how this all fits together. Have faith in me and while I go away from you, live by that faith and that living by faith in me is what will prepare you. ---------------------------------------------------------------- The Ascension of Christ into Glory: Italian Painter: Benvenuto Tisi – also known as Garofalo: 1510 This is a cropped image of the artwork. ------------------------------------------------------ Gospel Reading: John 14: 1-6 First Reading: Acts 13: 26-33

Here are some of the themes that we find in the Mass readings for the 6th Sunday of Easter. (Lectionary #57) May 19, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

This week, we took a break from Haggai and our Whole Heart series to hear a message on prayer from our Student Pastor, Ryan Oakes. Drawing from Philippians 4, Ryan reminded us that prayer is not about getting everything we ask for, but about being with God in every moment and bringing our honest selves before Him. He challenged us to let go of our desire for control and trust that, while God may not always change our circumstances, He promises a peace that guards our hearts.

Homily given at St. Thomas à Becket on the 5th Sunday of Easter (May 18, 2025).

Seeing the Father Through the Son: A Call to Deep Relationship with Christ This Homily centers on the theme of God's universal plan for salvation and our personal role in fulfilling it. It begins with the story of Paul and Barnabas, who, after facing rejection from Jewish leaders, turn to preach to the Gentiles, fulfilling God's inclusive mission. The message underscores that God initially chose Israel to be a light to all nations, but when they failed, He extended His call to others. This pattern repeats in our personal lives: when we fail to live out our calling due to jealousy, pride, or inaction, God will raise others to accomplish His work. The Homily also stresses the need for a personal and transformative relationship with Jesus—not just surface-level faith or religious actions. True discipleship involves knowing Christ deeply, allowing His Spirit to work through us to bring salvation to others. Listen to this Meditation Media. Listen to: Seeing the Father Through the Son: A Call to Deep Relationship with Christ ............................................................................. Because he has given us the spirit. The spirit, which we, we call in our hearts, call God our Father. Therefore, we are united to God. We are united to Jesus in this moment. When we say to him, Lord, like Peter, where can we go? You have the words of eternal life. .............................................................................
