Prayer for Grace for our Country
Dear Father united to Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present, celebrated around the world, in the Holy Spirit. We offer up all we do united to the Mass. We unite in one mind and one heart as members of the mystical body of Christ, with Christ our head in the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary, through the powerful intercession of Mary with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory, and we beg for the saving grace, for our country, the United States. Please help us. We further pray for unity to always do the will of God in love. We spread the Blood of Jesus on the leaders and people of the United States and cast the devil into hell. We consecrate our country to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and all our dioceses, and beg for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God help us. We pray for our families, the priests, the Church and the world. In the Name of Jesus please hear us, we pray. We pray for our president and leaders. We pray that we are united as one nation under God to work together in love as God wants.

Fr. Lammeier’s Funeral
July 11, 2015
HOMILY: (Readings: Isaiah, 25,6.7-9; I Thessalonians, 4,13-18; John, 14,1-6) I would like to begin with a quotation from Fr. Lammeier’s will. No! he did not leave instructions to give everyone $1000 who came to his funeral. But he did give instructions about the homily for his Funeral Mass. He wrote in his will this (quote) “request that the homilist talk on ‘death’ or the priesthood. Please no eulogy. There is not an awful lot of good that can be said, and I would want the homily to be a little longer than that.” (unquote)
I would not agree with Fr. Lammeier on that. There is an “awful lot of good that can be said,” but I’m not going to say everything that could be said because I may be haunted by Fr. Lammeier some evening for not following his instructions. I hope no one objects to my calling Fr. Lammeier “Zib.” It was a nickname his mother gave him when he was small and he told me he doesn’t know what it means or why she called him that. I’ve been calling him Zib for the past 15 years or more when he was helping me at St. Boniface. We were blest by Fr. Lammeier’s willingness to help us. He was a very humble man, highly respected, had a good sense of humor, worked hard on his homilies and described himself as a simple priest who said his prayers and did his work. He influenced many people by his wisdom, whether it was one of the two archbishops he served as their administrative secretary, Archbishops Leibold and Bernardin, or whether it was the ordinary parishioner who came to him with a problem or for confession on a Saturday afternoon. He treated everyone with equal dignity and kindness.
For about 18 months, he lived at St. Boniface Church and it was an honor and privilege to have him there. He tried very hard not to inconvenience any of the staff. Often when people visited him, instead of saying “goodbye” he always said “try to be nice.” The way he was telling others to live is the way he lived, treating others in a friendly and benevolent way.
This is getting too much like a eulogy, which Zib didn’t want. He said to talk about the priesthood or death. Well, I will say something about both. Regarding priesthood, Zib loved being a priest. Saying Mass in the morning was the highlight of his day. The day he died, he had concelebrated Mass with the other priests at St. Margaret Hall. He was faithful to the divine office, the rosary and holy hours at church. He was not a monk or a hermit, he had a well-rounded personality; he enjoyed reading, watching sports on TV and keeping in touch with his many friends.
On the topic of death, Zib died peacefully. It was in a way a blessing because his sciatica had been really causing him a lot of pain. We’ve heard three scripture readings on death. Isaiah pictures it as something God is going to eliminate at the end of time (he will destroy death forever and wipe away the tears from all faces) and to those who have remained faithful, God will provide a wonderful banquet (and since death and tears – including such things as starvation - will be done away with, the banquet will be unending).
Paul tells us in the second reading about Christ’s second coming. The Thessalonians were worried that their friends and family who had already died would miss out on the grand event of Jesus’ return at the end of time. Paul said, don’t worry, those who have already died will rise first then all of us together will be taken up to meet our Lord, our king, visibly enthroned in glory.
In the gospel Jesus assures us there’s plenty of room in God’s great kingdom and he will have a place ready for those who follow him. We will be with him always. The words of the gospel we just heard come from the Last Supper, shortly before Jesus’ arrest. With the conviction that his followers would be with him always, he tells them “do not let your hearts be troubled.” It was easy for Jesus to say, but hard to do for the apostles considering what they were soon going to have to face.
Jesus always says to us during difficult times: “do not let your hearts be troubled.” The loss of Zib is sad. He had so many talents and so many good qualities. Now, instead of having the support of his inspiration and encouragement, we have to let go, we have to say goodbye. But it’s only a temporary goodbye. As we follow the way, the truth and the life, we will all meet again in the everlasting kingdom of God’s love. May our faith be strong and may our hearts not be troubled, and as Zib would say to us if he were to leave us with any words of wisdom: “try to be nice.”

Guiding Light
- Reflect on the Word
Guiding Light homily series - Reflect on the Word - Cycle
B — The Word leaves an impression on our souls. In my thoughts and
reflections are born a more tangible understanding of these eternal
concepts presented in the Gospels and the readings. Anyone can read a
sentence, but not anyone can absorb it's true meaning. Truth, in this
day and age, is almost a matter of opinion or individual entitlement. We
believe that Christ's truth is our Roman Catholic Church. We, as
priests, champion it's teachings; we are ambassadors for the Pope and
Christ to those faces looking at us. We are the light by which our
congregation reads to reflect upon real truth and we do it hand in hand.

Guiding Light homily series - Steadfast to the Son - Cycle A — The sunflower is a great example of how we should be steadfastly guided by light. What a powerful thought that this exceptional plant is not stuck in one pose day in and day out, yet adaptable and magnetized to the sun. We feel the same about our Son. Our heads turns to face Christ as each day presents its challenges to find light. We join together like plants in a field and soak up the Son through the pulpit. We are a warm circle of strength using the wind of our breath to carry our priests' words, Christ's words, to new rich soil. $15 | ||
|
|
Guiding Light - Feed My Soul - Cycle C — In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $15 |
Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word - Cycle B — At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $15 |
