Full Text of ReadingsThe Epiphany of the Lord Lectionary: 20The Saint of the day is Saint John NeumannSaint John Neumann's Story Perhaps because the United States got a later start in the history of the world, it has relatively few canonized saints, but their number is increasing. John Neumann was born in what is now the Czech Republic. After studying in Prague, he came to New York at 25 and was ordained a priest. He did missionary work in New York until he was 29, when he joined the Redemptorists and became its first member to profess vows in the United States. He continued missionary work in Maryland, Virginia and Ohio, where he became popular with the Germans. At 41, as bishop of Philadelphia, he organized the parochial school system into a diocesan one, increasing the number of pupils almost twentyfold within a short time. Gifted with outstanding organizing ability, he drew into the city many teaching communities of sisters and the Christian Brothers. During his brief assignment as vice provincial for the Redemptorists, he placed them in the forefront of the parochial movement. Well-known for his holiness and learning, spiritual writing and preaching, on October 13, 1963, John Neumann became the first American bishop to be beatified. Canonized in 1977, he is buried in St. Peter the Apostle Church in Philadelphia. Reflection Neumann took seriously our Lord's words, “Go and teach all nations.” From Christ he received his instructions and the power to carry them out. For Christ does not give a mission without supplying the means to accomplish it. The Father's gift in Christ to John Neumann was his exceptional organizing ability, which he used to spread the Good News. Today the Church is in dire need of men and women to continue in our times the teaching of the Good News. The obstacles and inconveniences are real and costly. Yet when Christians approach Christ, he supplies the necessary talents to answer today's needs. The Spirit of Christ continues his work through the instrumentality of generous Christians.

Send us a textIs it okay to be a man in today's world? Join us as we disucss "Professor G's" thoughts on "aspirational masculinity" and how it stands in stark contrast to the often criticized "toxic masculinity." We explore the perceptions young men face, feeling sidelined in political and social realms, while celebrating their distinct attributes from a Catholic perspective. How might men and women move towards cooperation rather than competition.Is gender-specific programming a good thing? We reflect on both media and spiritual outreach and share the dynamic ways to engage men spiritually, drawing inspiration from nature-based activities and father-son retreats. Discover how targeted approaches can foster more profound connections, illustrated by personal anecdotes and strategies that reveal the diverse interests of different genders. St. Charles Borromeo Parish's men's choir is a great example here.Church Search visits St. John Neumann and their vibrant music ministry. We discuss the power of complementary voices and the playful dynamics that arise from our contrasting tastes in celebrations. Readings for this week can be found here.
There is a fascinating history surrounding today's Feast of the Dedication of the St. John Lateran Basilica in Rome. The magnificent church is just down the street from our Redemptorist headquarters and our own beautiful church of San Alfonso. The Basilica of St. John Lateran was built on land donated to Emperor Constantine by the Lateran family and given to the Church in the fourth century. It was dedicated to the Christ the Savior in honor of Saints John the Baptist and John the Evangelist. It was consecrated by Pope Sylvester I on November 9, 324 and is still considered the Pope's cathedral today. The structure has survived the ravages of war, earthquake, fire, and schism. When the papacy returned to Rome from Avignon, France in 1378, the church and the adjoining palace were in ruins. Pope Innocent X commissioned the work that has made St. John Lateran one of the most imposing churches in Rome. The front of the church has 15 towering statues of Christ, John the Baptist, John the Evangelist, and 12 doctors of the Church. Inside the basilica, there is a simple wooden table in the sanctuary where tradition holds that St. Peter himself celebrated Mass. The church stands as a monument to God and all the work done for God through the Church. This is also a special day for the Redemptorists. On Saturday, November 9, 1732, inspired by God and guided by the Holy Spirit, our founder, St. Alphonsus Liguori and his companions, gathered around a simple altar in the nun's convent in Scala, Italy and dedicated their lives to follow Jesus the Redeemer by preaching the Gospel to the poor and most abandoned. We Redemptorists celebrate this day as the founding of our congregation and try to continue this mission today. It was not an easy decision for Alphonsus. He had to leave everything behind. He was well known and respected in Naples; a lawyer of civil and canon law, a sought after preacher, and close to his parents and six siblings. Yet, the goat herders living high above the city of Scala on the Amalfi coast of Italy had stolen his heard. They were even poorer than the street children he evangelized in Naples. He placed his sword before a statue of Our Lady of Ransom and left the city on the back of a donkey. He met his companions in Scala. They did not stay in the Cathedral of Scala, but in a convent, praying intensely for God's will to be done. The three days prior to November 9th, they had a Eucharistic Triduum with the sisters in their small monastery church. They were given the grace by God of seeing in the Eucharistic Host a figure of Christ holding his cross. They took this as a sign of heavenly approval and, with the authority of Bishop Falcoia who was with them, they took the name of the Congregation of the Most Holy Savior, a name that linked them to the dedication of the Pope's Cathedral in Rome. The name was soon changed by Rome to the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer. Today, we give thanks to God for our vocations. We renew our commitment to continue this mission as prophetic witnesses to the Redeemer, who continues to call men and women to share in the charism of the Redemptorist family. May our Mother of Perpetual Help, St. Alphonsus, St. Gerard Majella, St. Clement Hofbauer, St. John Neumann, and all Redemptorist saints and blesseds pray for us. May we continue the work they began with love and perseverance. Blessings,Fr. Kevin MacDonald, C.Ss.R.

Pastoral Reflections Finding God In Ourselves by Msgr. Don Fischer
Gospel John 1:43-51 Jesus decided to go to Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, "Follow me." Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the town of Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the law, and also the prophets, Jesus, son of Joseph, from Nazareth." But Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come from Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see." Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, "Here is a true child of Israel. There is no duplicity in him." Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree." Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel." Jesus answered and said to him, "Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this." And he said to him, "Amen, amen, I say to you, you will see the sky opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” Reflection Everyone is called by God to enter into a relationship with Him that then has great power and the ability to accomplish the goal that God has chosen to share with His people, and that is the development and the growth of the Kingdom of Heaven. The kingdom of God here on this earth. Notice how the disciples were chosen. Some came on their own. Some brought somebody else along. It was all very organic and not anything that we could sit down and say it was all fixed. Help us to be open to the way in which life unfolds and teaches us through the experiences we have with others. Every encounter has a potential to be a source of divine intervention, divine wisdom. Be open. Closing PrayerFather, a lot of what you long to share with us slips past our attention. So give us this curiosity, and this wisdom that longs to interpret the things that are happening around us. It makes sense that you are needing us to pay attention. In our paying attention, we become more receptive, more open to the ways in which you long to teach us. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.Si quis venit ad me, et non odit patrem suum, et matrem, et uxorem, et filios, et fratres, et sorores, adhuc autem et animam suam, non potest meus esse discipulus. 27 And whosoever doth not carry his cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple.Et qui non bajulat crucem suam, et venit post me, non potest meus esse discipulus. 28 For which of you having a mind to build a tower, doth not first sit down, and reckon the charges that are necessary, whether he have wherewithal to finish it:Quis enim ex vobis volens turrim aedificare, non prius sedens computat sumptus, qui necessarii sunt, si habeat ad perficiendum, 29 Lest, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that see it begin to mock him,ne, posteaquam posuerit fundamentum, et non potuerit perficere, omnes qui vident, incipiant illudere ei, 30 Saying: This man began to build, and was not able to finish.dicentes : Quia hic homo coepit aedificare, et non potuit consummare? 31 Or what king, about to go to make war against another king, doth not first sit down, and think whether he be able, with ten thousand, to meet him that, with twenty thousand, cometh against him?Aut quis rex iturus committere bellum adversus alium regem, non sedens prius cogitat, si possit cum decem millibus occurrere ei, qui cum viginti millibus venit ad se? 32 Or else, whilst the other is yet afar off, sending an embassy, he desireth conditions of peace.Alioquin adhuc illo longe agente, legationem mittens rogat ea quae pacis sunt. 33 So likewise every one of you that doth not renounce all that he possesseth, cannot be my disciple.Sic ergo omnis ex vobis, qui non renuntiat omnibus quae possidet, non potest meus esse discipulus.

A reading from the holy Gospel according to John (Jn 1:43-51) Nathanael said to [Jesus], "How do you know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree." Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel." Phillip invites his fellow townsman Nathanael to meet Jesus, but Nathanael initially voices skepticism, questioning Jesus' divine identity. He is "son of Joseph, from Nazareth," Philip tells Nathanael. Jesus responds to Nathanael's skepticism with a display of divine knowledge, revealing that he was aware of Nathanael's presence under a fig tree, to which Nathanael confesses Jesus as the Son of God and the King of Israel. "You will see greater things than this," Jesus tells Nathanael. "You will see the sky opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man." Aware of the innermost intentions of his disciples, and of all people, Jesus calls each of us by name to follow him and remain with him. God, I look to you with hope in your mercy that you judge me not by external appearances—as I tend to judge others—but by who I am. You know me more intimately than I know myself. Help me recognize in Nathanael's first encounter with Jesus that you also know me by name, you call me to follow you, and that faith is necessary to know you and move beyond appearances. What are the tasks you hand to me today? Whatever they are, make clear to me your will; give me the grace to me be a means of your justice and mercy. As Saint John says in the first reading: "Children, let us love not in word or speech but in deed and truth." From the first reading: "Now this is how we shall know that we belong to the truth and reassure our hearts before him in whatever our hearts condemn, for God is greater than our hearts and knows everything. Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence in God." Saint John Neumann, pray for us! Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

**Now, this is a story all about how the life of Saint John Neumann turned upside down. I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there, we'll tell you how he became a saint with love and care *In Prachatice, Czech Republic, he was born and raised, devoted to God and His amazing grace. Wanted to be a priest and travel far and wide, but his journey was just beginning, with a purpose deep inside. * *He sailed to America, the land of the free, to serve the immigrants, his mission would be. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is where he would go, and where Saint John Neumann's legend began to grow. * The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air has nothing on this new relic at St. Anthony of Padua.

St. John Neumann, Bishop (Memorial)
Our journey with Saint John Climacus has not been an easy one; in fact, we get a taste of walking upon that narrow path that leads to the kingdom simply through reading about his vision of the spiritual life and his experience. It reflects the reality and the challenges of the spiritual life, and in particular a life of penance and repentance. To give ourselves over to God, to seek his love above all things, to desire him more than we desire our own lives is the path that St. John is putting before us. However, there is something within us that resists walking this path. Quite simply it is our ego - the self. Even in our pursuit of God, we can make ourselves every bit as willful in our spiritual discipline as we are in our relationships with others, and in our day-to-day work. Through his description of compunction (sorrow over one's sins eventually leading to the experience of Godly Joy) St John is seeking to free us from the grip self-centeredness and its delusions. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:09:51 FrDavid Abernethy: page 166 para 49 00:09:56 Kate Truta: Hello!

Friends of the Rosary: Today, while we pray for the eternal rest of the soul of Pope Benedict XVI and we enjoy the scenes from the funeral mass in Rome, we celebrate the Memorial of St. John Nepomucene Neumann, bishop (1811-1860). John was born in Bohemia (current Czech Republic). While in the seminary he felt the desire to help in the American missions. After coming to the United States he was ordained in New York in 1836. Entering the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (Redemptorists) in 1840, he worked in establishing parishes and parish schools. In 1852 he was consecrated Bishop of Philadelphia and prescribed the Forty Hours devotion. In Rome, he participated in the Proclamation of the Dogma of our Blessed Mother's Immaculate Conception. Bishop Neumann died at 48 years of age. Completely exhausted from all his apostolic endeavors, he collapsed in the street on January 5, 1860. He was beatified in 1963. He is buried beneath the altar of the lower Church in St. Peter's Church in Philadelphia. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You!

LUMINOUS MYSTERIES today. A holy day has dawned upon us. Come, you nations, and adore the Lord. Today a great light has come upon the earth.
Holy Saints SeriesAs a boy, John Neumann lived in Bohemia, which is now part of Czech Republic. He studied hard, for he wanted to be a missionary priest in America. By the time he was twenty-four, he had learned six languages and had completed his studies for the priesthood. He was not ordained, however, because his bishop thought there were enough priests in his country. So John Neumann decided to leave for America, hoping to be ordained there. He said goodbye to his parents and brother and sailed for the United States. When he arrived, he had one suit of clothes and one dollar in his pocket. Three weeks later, the bishop of New York ordained him.This Podcast series is available on all major platforms.See more resources, maps, and information at:https://www.dwworldhistory.comCheckout the video version at:https://www.youtube.com/DWWorldHistoryA PDF Publication is available for this episode at:https://www.patreon.com/DWWorldHistorySupport the show
