Bishop Scott Bullock Homily from the Vigil Mass for the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Rapid City December 31, 2024

Matthew 1:18-25 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly. Such was his intention when, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her. She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel, which means “God is with us.” When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home. He had no relations with her until she bore a son, and he named him Jesus.

Reading IIs 62:1-5    For Zion's sake I will not be silent,        for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet,    until her vindication shines forth like the dawn        and her victory like a burning torch.    Nations shall behold your vindication,        and all the kings your glory;    you shall be called by a new name        pronounced by the mouth of the LORD.    You shall be a glorious crown in the hand of the LORD,        a royal diadem held by your God.    No more shall people call you “Forsaken,”        or your land “Desolate,”    but you shall be called “My Delight,”        and your land “Espoused.”    For the LORD delights in you        and makes your land his spouse.    As a young man marries a virgin,        your Builder shall marry you;    and as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride        so shall your God rejoice in you.Reading IIActs 13:16-17, 22-25When Paul reached Antioch in Pisidia and entered the synagogue,he stood up, motioned with his hand, and said, “Fellow Israelites and you others who are God-fearing, listen.The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors and exalted the people during their sojourn in theland of Egypt.With uplifted arm he led them out of it.Then he removed Saul and raised up David as king;of him he testified,‘I have found David, son of Jesse, a man after my own heart;he will carry out my every wish.'From this man's descendants God, according to his promise, has brought to Israel a savior, Jesus.John heralded his coming by proclaiming a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel; and as John was completing his course, he would say, ‘What do you suppose that I am?  I am not he.Behold, one is coming after me; I am not worthy to unfasten the sandals of his feet.'”GospelMt 1:18-25This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about.When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the Holy Spirit.Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly.Such was his intention when, behold,the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home.For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her.She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”All this took place to fulfillwhat the Lord had said through the prophet:    Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,        and they shall name him Emmanuel,which means “God is with us.”When Joseph awoke,he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home.He had no relations with her until she bore a son, and he named him Jesus.

PEOPLE WILL SEE OUR SALVATION

"Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel, which means 'God is with us.'" The Gospel of Matthew's carefully crafted genealogy of the Messiah is upended by divine intervention. By the power of the Holy Spirit, the Son of God was born of the Virgin Mary.

Friends of the Rosary, Today is the Memorial of Saint Maximilian Kolbe (1894-1941), a martyr and priest. Born in Zdunska Wola, Poland, as Raymond Kolbe, he consecrated himself to the Lord in the Franciscan Order. Filled with love for the Virgin, he founded the Militia of the Immaculata movement of Marian consecration. To better "win the world for the Immaculata," with his preaching and writing, undertook an intense apostolic mission in Europe and Asia. Imprisoned in Auschwitz during the Second World War, he offered himself in exchange for the father of a large family who was to be executed. He was given a lethal injection on August 14, 1941. Pope John Paul II canonized Maximilian as a "martyr of charity" in 1982, proclaiming him the "Patron Saint of Our Difficult Century. Maximilian, patron of the pro-life movement, was a ground-breaking theologian. He developed the Church's understanding of Mary as a "Mediatrix" of all the graces of the Trinity and as an "Advocate" for God's people. "For Jesus Christ, I am prepared to suffer more still," he said. Also, today, on the evening of August 14, the Vigil Mass for the Assumption is celebrated. Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!St. Maximiliam Kolbe, Pray for Us! Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York

"Glorious things are spoken of you, O Mary, who today were exalted above the choirs of Angels into eternal triumph with Christ." Through her Assumption, Mary shares in the Easter victory of her Son.

Reading I Is 62:1-5 For Zion's sake I will not be silent, for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet, until her vindication shines forth like the dawn and her victory like a burning torch. Nations shall behold your vindication, and all the kings your glory; you shall be called by a new name pronounced by the mouth of the LORD. You shall be a glorious crown in the hand of the LORD, a royal diadem held by your God. No more shall people call you “Forsaken,” or your land “Desolate,” but you shall be called “My Delight,” and your land “Espoused.” For the LORD delights in you and makes your land his spouse. As a young man marries a virgin, your Builder shall marry you; and as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride so shall your God rejoice in you.Reading II Acts 13:16-17, 22-25 When Paul reached Antioch in Pisidia and entered the synagogue, he stood up, motioned with his hand, and said, “Fellow Israelites and you others who are God-fearing, listen. The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors and exalted the people during their sojourn in the land of Egypt. With uplifted arm he led them out of it. Then he removed Saul and raised up David as king; of him he testified, ‘I have found David, son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will carry out my every wish.' From this man's descendants God, according to his promise, has brought to Israel a savior, Jesus. John heralded his coming by proclaiming a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel; and as John was completing his course, he would say, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. Behold, one is coming after me; I am not worthy to unfasten the sandals of his feet.'”Gospel Mt 1:1-25 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Abraham became the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers. Judah became the father of Perez and Zerah, whose mother was Tamar. Perez became the father of Hezron, Hezron the father of Ram, Ram the father of Amminadab. Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, Nahshon the father of Salmon, Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab. Boaz became the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth. Obed became the father of Jesse, Jesse the father of David the king. David became the father of Solomon, whose mother had been the wife of Uriah. Solomon became the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, Abijah the father of Asaph. Asaph became the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, Joram the father of Uzziah. Uzziah became the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, Ahaz the father of Hezekiah. Hezekiah became the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amos, Amos the father of Josiah. Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and his brothers at the time of the Babylonian exile. After the Babylonian exile, Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, Zerubbabel the father of Abiud. Abiud became the father of Eliakim, Eliakim the father of Azor, Azor the father of Zadok. Zadok became the father of Achim, Achim the father of Eliud, Eliud the father of Eleazar. Eleazar became the father of Matthan, Matthan the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary. Of her was born Jesus who is called the Christ. Thus the total number of generations from Abraham to David is fourteen generations; from David to the Babylonian exile, fourteen generations; from the Babylonian exile to the Christ, fourteen generations. Now this is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly. Such was his intention when, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her. She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel, which means “God is with us.” When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home. He had no relations with her until she bore a son, and he named him Jesus.

Today is the 4th Sunday of Advent. It is also Christmas Eve. Because this year Advent is as short as it can be, with Christmas falling on a Monday, we don't really get a “fourth week of Advent.” We only get a 4th Sunday, and even then not the whole Sunday, with our Christmas celebrations beginning with the 4:30  Vigil Mass. Once every seven years we get Christmas and Advent in one Sunday like this.  The altar is decorated with poinsettias, in anticipation of that celebration. The crib has been laid out, in anticipation of the Christ-child. This can all make it feel like Christmas is already here, but it isn't. We are still in purple. The crib is empty. It is still Advent for a few hours more. 

Fr. John Roderick, FSCBNativity of Our LordDecember 10, 2023First Reading: IS 40:1-5, 9-11Second Reading: 2 PT 3:8-14Gospel: MK 1:1-8

"She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." The Gospel of Matthew's carefully crafted genealogy of the Messiah is upended by divine intervention. By the power of the Holy Spirit, the Son of God was born of the Virgin Mary.

Father Matthew shares an interesting story about losing water at his guest house and the potential cancellation of Thanksgiving. But, as the Lord always does, a solution arose and Thanksgiving plans were saved. The conversation then shifts to a caller's question about civil ceremonies and church weddings, specifically in the context of different countries like Mexico. The answer highlights the importance of recognizing both legal and religious aspects of marriage. Later, another caller seeks guidance on the responsibilities of Godparents and how to fulfill those duties as their godchildren grow into adulthood. Lastly, a heartfelt call from Jesse reveals struggles with sin and doubts about God's presence. Father Matthew reassures Jesse of God's unwavering love and encourages him to seek healing and reconciliation through confession. Liz - Why is it not allowed to do a civil wedding and then later a Church wedding? Ann - What are my responsibilities to my adult godchildren? Jesse - I gave myself to the Lord about a year ago. I have felt the Holy Spirit twice since then. I have committed grave sin and felt the Holy Spirit leave me. What should I do? (13:21) Aaron - How do I look for a spiritual director? (24:37) Carol - Luke 22:28-30 seems to say that the Apostles will also be judging. What does that mean? Rosa - I am in RCIA and my professor said that attending a Vigil Mass is the same as going to Mass on Sunday. Is that true? Joanna - Our Church bulletin was advertising a yoga studio. I brought it up to my pastor, who hasn't taken it out yet. What should I do? Judy - What is the problem with Christians being baptized again after leaving the Catholic Church? Why do the Jews have the book of Isiah if they don't believe Jesus is the Messiah? Deborah - What do the prayers for the dead do for our relatives even if they turned their backs on God?

Rudy - 1st Samuel Chapter 3 seems to point to the importance of praying for the dead when David prayed for Saul. What do you think? Susan - Can people other than God give grace? (06:35) Chris - How can I deal with friends and family who are homosexual but raised Catholic? (13:20) Madeline - Regarding the marriage debt, is it no longer a free choice to give yourself to your spouse after you are married since you have to fulfil it? Emily – My young adult son thinks communism is good. Why does communism reject religion? (25:45) Patrick recommends “The Black Book of Communism” and “1917: Red Banners, White Mantle” and “With God in Russia” and “Dedication and Leadership” by Douglas Hyde for books that shine a light on the horrors of communism Alex - People who are in favor of Palestine must not read and understand their bible. Cristina - I can't make it to Daily Mass for the First Saturday Devotions. Can I go to the Vigil Mass instead? Joseph - Do you know about the 7 Mountain Mandate and the New Apostolic Reformation which has loud music and impartations of grace. Kevin - What do you think of forced fatherhood? Rafael - Could you explain the meaning of the temple being rebuilt and the other things that Jews believe the Messiah must do?

Violent mob storms Russian airport “looking for Jews” (00:24) Carla (04:35) - Why did God create us if He knows some of us we are going to hell? Prince - Is it possible to be aware of your actions while you are possessed? Judith - Can you go to a Vigil Mass in order to fulfil a Holy Day of Obligation? John - What are your thoughts on the Great Adventure Bible by Ascension Press? Brian - I have had a lot of physical pain in my life. The reason God created us is so we could learn to love. Peter - What is the dating system that they use in Maccabees? Bill - One of the requirements for consecration is the priest needs to have the intent to consecrate. What if priest does not have the intention in theory? Kevin (36:25) - Can a Plenary Indulgence be applied to multiple people? Jimmy - I had a vasectomy 11 years ago but regretted it and got a reversal. Now I tell anyone thinking of getting one not to get a vasectomy. Chris - Why can a priest consecrate the Eucharist in mortal sin but we can't receive the Eucharist in mortal sin? Bob - If a priest finds himself in the state of mortal sin and needs to say Mass does he have to receive the Eucharist in the state of mortal sin? Pat - Why didn't we use the bible in school at Catholic School when I was growing up?

Vigil Mass for the Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time Reading I - Isaiah 55:6-9 Reading II - Philippians 1:20c-24, 27a Gospel - Matthew 20:1-16a

Friends of the Rosary: Today, the Memorial of St. Maximilian Mary Kolbe (1894-1941), Polish priest and martyr, is celebrated by the Universal Church. Maximilian Mary Kolbe founded the Militia of the Immaculate Mary, a movement of Marian consecration that undertook an intense apostolic mission in Europe and Asia. The friars of the Militia of the Immaculate Mary utilized modern printing and administrative techniques to "win the world for the Immaculata". They launched a daily newspaper with a circulation of 230,000, a monthly magazine with a circulation of over one million, and a shortwave radio station. Maximilian was a true "apostle of the mass media" and a ground-breaking theologian. He further developed the Church's understanding of Mary as a "Mediatrix" of all the graces of the Trinity, and as an "Advocate" for God's people. In 1941, the Nazis imprisoned Father Maximilian in the Auschwitz death camp. There he offered his life for another prisoner and was condemned to slow death in a starvation bunker. On August 14, 1941, his impatient captors ended his life with a lethal injection. Pope John Paul II canonized Maximilian as a "martyr of charity" in 1982 and proclaimed him the "Patron Saint of Our Difficult Century." St. Maximilian Kolbe is considered a patron of journalists, families, prisoners, the pro-life movement, and the chemically addicted. Also, today in the evening, the Vigil Mass for the Assumption is celebrated. Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York • ⁠August 14, 2023, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET
