Speaking to his disciples, the Lord invites his followers to ask, seek, and knock with persistent effort as they call upon the Holy Spirit. (Lectionary #464) October 9, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

Praying with Mary: The Power and Mystery of the Rosary The Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary . . . . . . originated in 1571 after the miraculous Christian victory at the Battle of Lepanto, when the faithful, at the Pope's request, prayed the Rosary for protection against the Ottoman Empire. This triumph was attributed to Mary's intercession, earning her the title “Help of Christians.” The Rosary is not merely as a Marian prayer, but as a prayer to Jesus through Mary . . . a contemplation of Christ's life, death, and glory, with Mary as our guide. The Homily explains three “crownings” of Jesus reflected in the Rosary: 1. The Crown of Grace – the Incarnation, God's gift of salvation. 2. The Crown of Thorns – Christ's suffering and redemptive death. 3. The Crown of Glory – Christ's triumph in heaven. Mary, too, receives her own three crowns: 1. The Crown of Excellence – her purity and virtue. 2. The Crown of Goodness – her maternal help and compassion. 3. The Crown of Love – her perfect relationship with God. Finally, those devoted to Mary receive spiritual crowns: • The Crown of Holiness, gained through imitation of Mary's virtues. • The Crown of a Peaceful Death, aided by her intercession. • The Crown of Glory in Heaven, the eternal reward of the faithful. The Rosary is presented as a spiritual weapon, a summary of the Gospel, and a path to peace and salvation through union with Jesus and Mary.

Lord, Increase Our Faith: The Power of a Mustard Seed At the start of Mass, the congregation says “Amen” to the opening prayer, asking for God's mercy . . . . . . mercy that both pardons what conscience dreads and grants blessings too great to ask for. The Homily reflects on this prayer, connecting it to the Gospel where the disciples ask Jesus, “Lord, increase our faith.” Jesus' response and parable about faith the size of a mustard seed teaches that even a small amount of faith can accomplish great things if it is lived out . . . not by instantly fulfilling our desires, but by learning to trust God's timing and will. Faith grows through use, through daily acts of trust and service. The Homily emphasizes that belief is not just about ideas about God but a living trust in God. Each believer is called to say, “I believe in God,” personally and actively. Ordinary Christian life means serving, trusting, and acting in faith every day . . . not just occasionally or passively. The Homily concludes by beautifully at the Eucharist: Jesus, the Master, comes to serve his servants. When we receive Him in Communion and pray, “Lord, increase my faith,” His response is immediate and intimate: “I am here within you . . . believe in Me.” Even a small act of belief in that moment begins the growth of faith that transforms our lives.

In this week's sermon, Pastor John reveals how sin pulls us lower when our passions rule instead of Jesus. Through Samson's story, we see that selfishness and pride ultimately lead to destruction. Yet even in our failures, God is still at work and nothing will stop His redemptive power through Christ.

Send us a textI am preaching this homily on our pilgrimage in Poland. We visited Auschwitz/Brirkenau camp this morning; we are celebrating Mass in Sanktuarium Pasyjno-Maryjne, where Karol Wojtyra (St. John Paul II) came on pilgrimage as a boy.When I visited Krakow in 2001, we toured the Wawel Cathedral. There's a great bell in the tower, like Big Ben in London. It weighs 11 tons and it takes 12 people to ring it. This bell is named Zygmunt, and it has been rung for every major event in Poland since it was cast in 1520.frjoedailey@gmail.com
