Barron's sermon video for 5th Sunday OT: The invasion of
Grace (14mins) - 'Friends, the spiritual life begins with an
invasion of grace out of God’s sheer, unmerited love. As we direct
our lives toward this light, we become more aware of our sin. In
acknowledging our sin and surrendering to grace, we are purified,
and sent on mission as vehicles of his salvation for the rest of
the world.'
Bishop Robert
Barron's sermon video for 6th Sunday OT: To what
does your heart belong? (14 mins) - 'Friends, when our heart
belongs to anything in this world, we live in an empty and lifeless
spiritual space. But when our heart belongs to the Lord, the rest
of our life falls into right order around that center. Our readings
this week raise a crucial question: To whom—or to what—does your
heart belong?'

Barron's sermon video for 7th Sunday OT: Give as God
Gives (13.5 mins) - 'Friends, whenever we give or receive a
gift, we're always caught in a difficult rhythm of exchange and
mutual obligation. The great exception to this rule is God, who is
utterly gratuitous in his giving. But in Luke’s Sermon on the
Plain, we are invited to share, by grace, in the very way that God
exists and that God loves, giving to those in need without
expecting anything in return.' |

Whom are you going to follow, and why? Toward the end of Luke’s

important lessons that help us discern our spiritual
guides.' |

need of it (13.45 mins) - 'In the Palm Sunday Gospel
reading proclaimed before the procession, the Lord instructs two of
his disciples to go into the village and untether a donkey. If
there is any protest, they are to say, “The Master has need of it.”
This is true of every baptized person: the Master has need of your
gifts, of you, of the whole of your life. Once we understand this
principle, everything is revolutionized—and we are liberated to be
of service to Christ and his people.'

An ancient homily for Holy
Saturday - The Lord's descent into the underworld. Something
strange is happening – there is a great silence on earth today, a
great silence and stillness. The whole earth keeps silence because
the King is asleep. The earth trembled and is still because God has
fallen asleep in the flesh and he has raised up all who have slept
ever since the world began. God has died in the flesh and hell
trembles with fear.
He has gone to search for our first parent, as for a lost sheep.
Greatly desiring to visit those who live in darkness and in the
shadow of death, he has gone to free from sorrow the captives Adam
and Eve, he who is both God and the son of Eve. The Lord approached
them bearing the cross, the weapon that had won him the victory. At
the sight of him Adam, the first man he had created, struck his
breast in terror and cried out to everyone: “My Lord be with you
all.” Christ answered him: “And with your spirit.” He took him by
the hand and raised him up, saying: “Awake, O sleeper, and rise
from the dead, and Christ will give you light.”
I am your God, who for your sake have become your son.
Out of love for you and for your descendants I now by my own
authority command all who are held in bondage to come forth, all
who are in darkness to be enlightened, all who are sleeping to
arise. I order you, O sleeper, to awake. I did not create you to be
held a prisoner in hell. Rise from the dead, for I am the life of
the dead. Rise up, work of my hands, you who were created in my
image. Rise, let us leave this place, for you are in me and I am in
you; together we form only one person and we cannot be separated.
For your sake I, your God, became your son; I, the Lord, took the
form of a slave; I, whose home is above the heavens, descended to
the earth and beneath the earth. For your sake, for the sake of
man, I became like a man without help, free among the dead. For the
sake of you, who left a garden, I was betrayed to the Jews in a
garden, and I was crucified in a garden.
See on my face the spittle I received in order to
restore to you the life I once breathed into you. See there the
marks of the blows I received in order to refashion your warped
nature in my image. On my back see the marks of the scourging I
endured to remove the burden of sin that weighs upon your back. See
my hands, nailed firmly to a tree, for you who once wickedly
stretched out your hand to a tree.
I slept on the cross and a sword pierced my side for
you who slept in paradise and brought forth Eve from your side. My
side has healed the pain in yours. My sleep will rouse you from
your sleep in hell. The sword that pierced me has sheathed the
sword that was turned against you.
Rise, let us leave this place. The enemy led you out of the earthly
paradise. I will not restore you to that paradise, but I will
enthrone you in heaven. I forbade you the tree that was only a
symbol of life, but see, I who am life itself am now one with you.
I appointed cherubim to guard you as slaves are guarded, but now I
make them worship you as God. The throne formed by cherubim awaits
you, its bearers swift and eager. The bridal chamber is adorned,
the banquet is ready, the eternal dwelling places are prepared, the
treasure houses of all good things lie open. The kingdom of heaven
has been prepared for you from all eternity. [via Catholic

Philip's homily notes
|
"Prayer is the
raising of one's mind and heart to God or the requesting of good
things from God." But when we pray, do we speak from the height of
our pride and will, or "out of the depths" of a humble and contrite
heart? He who humbles himself will be exalted; humility is
the foundation of prayer, Only when we humbly acknowledge that "we
do not know how to pray as we ought," are we ready to receive
freely the gift of prayer. "Man is a beggar before God."

November
Canon
Philip writes in newsletter for Nov 30th 2022 - All Saints and All
Souls: “Do you know who these people are,
dressed in white robes?” In November we remember all those who have
died and gone before us, marked with the sign of faith. Tuesday is
All Saints day, so all the saints in heaven, and Wednesday is All
Souls, all those still making their way into glory, the faithful
departed.. We believe that the Church exists here on earth (the
Church Militant) in purgatory (the Church Expectant, and remember
purgatory is part of heaven, not hell) and in heaven (the Church
Triumphant) We may be in three different ‘places’ but we are all
part of the one mystical body of Christ. All Saints, celebrates all
those who have journeyed along the same path as us, but are further
ahead in heaven. Our readings on this day give us a glimpse of the
reality of heaven. St Matthew speaks of the beautiful attitudes of
those who will be given admittance. St John in his Letter reminds
of the love the Father has, and continues to lavish upon us. In
Apocalypse (Revelation) St John gives us a clear image. This book,
the last in the Bible is unique amongst the books of the bible
because it is the only one which hasn’t happened yet – all the
others are historical, but this is prophetic telling us in signs
and wondrous language what is to come. In his vision John tells us
it was the Lord’s Day, and he is caught up with a vison of the
worship of heaven. It is why so much of what we do at Mass is all
there in this book, for the Mass is heaven on earth. So when John
sees a great multitude in white robes, standing round the Throne of
the Lamb, he is seeing us. If we stood where he is standing, and if
our eyesight was good enough to pick out individual faces, we would
be able to see ourselves (we pray) and all those we have known and
loved, glorious in heaven at the end of time, standing around God’s
throne.
This is the ultimate reality of our
life’s journey, and a cause of our great rejoicing. Let us rejoice
in his angels and saints. All Souls day we pray for our dead. In
the same communion of Saints, we offer our prayers for the Holy
Souls in purgatory, those who, in the words of Benedict XVI are in
the inward process of transformation in which a person becomes
capable of Christ. As St John Fisher (Bishop of Rochester, martyred
1535) said about the Holy Souls: ‘They are of the same faith hope
and charity as us. They are partners in the same sacraments, but
there are also the natural ties of affection, kinship and
obligation, Every one of us has some of his or her friends and
family there, therefore we must act like friends, let us be loving
towards then now just as we claimed to love them when they were
still with us here on earth.’
