Pope Francis and the Devil ROMA LOCUTA EST - April 18, 2013 ... spiritual warfare in which we are engaged. The very definition of Christian hope is found in this known victory. What is unknown is our own part in the warfare. For any one individual, assurance of salvation will be gained only insofar as he avoids the persistent promptings of the Evil One. As clad as we may be in the armor of God, which is his grace as dispensed through the Sacraments of the Holy Church, none of us are immune in this life from the promptings of Satan. Our best defense is ...http://causafinitaest.blogspot.com/2013/04/pope-francis-and-devil.html

Papal Motto and the Divine Mercy, 2nd Sunday of Easter FATHER DYLAN'S SERMONS - April 6, 2013 Jn 20:19-31; Acts 5:12-16 Today we keep what is called "Divine Mercy Sunday", and I'd like to share a thought about that mercy by drawing on some words of our new Pope Francis. In particular, by thinking of how the Lord LOOKS at us with mercy, because this is the motto of our new Pope. The new Pope's motto is " Miserando Atque Eligendo ", the same motto he had as a cardinal. And when it was first announced lots of people attempted to translate that motto as something ...http://fatherdylanjames.blogspot.com/2013/04/papal-motto-and-divine-mercy-2nd-sunday.html

During the entrance to the church and the incensation of the altar, the Introit was sung, using music of the Anglican Use Gradual . The Ordinary of the Mass was sung to the Missa Aeterna Christi Munera by Palestrina, a piece of undoubtable Catholic musical patrimony, but nonetheless well-known in the repertory of English Cathedrals, Anglican and Catholic.

Emphasizing Holy Week CROSSED THE TIBER - April 2, 2013 After almost 10 years of being Catholic and 9 Lents as a revert to the faith, it dawned on me on Passion Sunday (Palm Sunday) why the Church really emphasizes the importance of holy week. (Yes, I know, I am a slow learner!) The priest reminded us in his homily that this week we have the opportunity to reflect on Christ's passion, death and resurrection FOR OUR SINS , and pray that God uses the liturgies and devotions of ...http://crossed-the-tiber.blogspot.com/2013/04/emphasizing-holy-week.html

Bergoglio responded that at the moment he did not have one. But the following day - Ortega recounted - "with extreme delicacy" he gave him "the remarks written in his own hand as he recalled them."

The Tomb Is Empty! DOMINE, DA MIHI HANC AQUAM! - March 31, 2013 NB. When I first preached this homily at the Univ of Dallas chapel in 2006, it was something of an experiment for me. Would the very traditional, very conservative U.D. community respond well to this type of preaching? They did! So, I thought I'd try it out on a regular parish. It worked quite well.

What Wondrous Love Is This? A Franciscan Perspective on Holy Week and Easter. THE WANDERING FRIAR - March 30, 2013 Ever since this past Sunday (Palm Sunday) as I have been reflecting on the great mysteries of Holy Week the words to the folk hymn, What Wondrous Love is this?, now often sung in Catholic parishes during Lent, kept coming to mind. The question raised by the title became the overarching theme of my own personal meditation and guided the homily that I preached for the friars here in St. Petersburg on Holy Thursday.

Justice demands that a price be paid for even the smallest of our sins, either by us or someone who could pay the full price that we never could pay in full. Eternity is not long enough for any of us, on our own, to pay the price of even 1 small sin against an infinite God. So God became man & died for our sins. Our response is to repent & seek God's mercy. We do that especially through the sacrament/mystery of Confession. In confessing our sins, mortal ...http://al007italia.blogspot.com/2013/03/behold-wood-of-cross.html

Then we listen to the story of his anguish in the garden, his betrayal, the trial before Pilate, his suffering, crucifixion and death. Great mysteries unfold in the Gospel we have just heard. But the whole story is not told today. Where is the Last Supper? Where are all the little details that St. John tells us but that St. Luke omits? Where, indeed, is our Blessed Mother?
