September 16 - Wednesday of the 24th Week in Ordinary Time, Year II (opens the original)
Read excerpt
(1Cor.12:31-13:13; Ps.33:2-5,12,22; Lk.7:31-35) "We piped you a tune but you did not dance; we sang you a dirge but you did not wail." "Like children squatting in the city squares and calling to their playmates," seeking to have them comply with their own selfish will, so are "the men of today" according to our Lord. And so is their song not "a noisy gong"? Do they not lack of love? Could they be more "rude," more impatient and unkind, than to declare of John the Baptizer, "He is mad!" and of th

Read excerpt
(Sir.27:30-28:9; Ps.103:1-4,8-12; Rom.14:7-9; Mt.18:21-35) "Should you not have had pity on your fellow servant, as I had pity on you?" How like the Lord's own wisdom is that of Sirach; how like His teaching. For have we not heard the Master say, "Forgive your neighbor's injustice; then when you pray, your own sins will be forgiven," in His instruction to His disciples on how to pray? And does He not impart this same lesson by parable today? "Wrath and anger are hateful things, yet the sinner hu
September 12 - Prayer to the Most Holy Name of Mary (opens the original)
Read excerpt
O Mary, sweetest of creatures, whose name on our lips brings joy to our hearts… inflamed with love toward God and you we become in speaking your blessed name – pray we shall call your name, dear Lady, in our time of need, that you will be quick to intercede with your Son for our salvation. Washed in the water from His side and in His holy blood, pray we shall rise above the sea, beyond all rebellion, that obedient as you, His Handmaid, we shall find favor with the Lord and enter into Heaven, our

Read excerpt
(1Cor.10:14-22; Ps.116:12-13,17-18; Lk.6:43-49) "Is not the cup of blessing we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread we break a sharing in the body of Christ?" The Body and Blood of Christ we have upon our altar and in the Word of His teaching. It is these which set a firm foundation within ourselves, these by which we bear fruit in His Name – these by which we come to be as He is. Paul tells the Corinthians today "to shun the worship of idols," not because they are real,
September 11 - Friday of the 23rd Week in Ordinary Time, Year II (opens the original)
Read excerpt
(1Cor.9:16-19,22-27; Ps.84:2-6,8,12; Lk.6:39-42) "Although I am not bound to anyone, I made myself the slave of all so as to win over as many as possible." How like His Lord is Paul in his declaration, "To the weak I became a weak person with a view to winning the weak." For as Jesus descended from heaven to take on flesh and save those corrupted by its sin, so the Apostle has made himself "all things to all people," stepping inside their skin "in order to save at least some of them." Indeed, Pa
