                June 22, 2011 - Sts. John Fisher and Thomas More

                R. St. Thomas More suffered martyrdom on
                July 6, 1535.

                Saint John Fisher suffered martyrdom
                in London on June 22, 1535. They were
                canonized in 1935.

                Saint John Fisher was a bishop of
                England — he would not compromise
                belief in the Pope as Head of the
                Church —

                Saint Thomas More was a holy
                    layman and lawyer — he was the
                    former Chancellor of King Henry VIII —

                Saint Thomas More would not accept
                    King Henry VIII as head of the
                    Church.

                Both men lost their head for their
                    faith —
 

                R. This is a great movie about this.
                A MAN for all SEASONS.

                Martyrs —

                Henry VIII gave himself
                    a dispensation to marry
                    again

                Henry VIII wanted Thomas
                    More and John Fisher to
                    recognize his marriage —
                    they would not do so —
                    So King Henry VIII
                    had them put to death.

 


                We are to be faithful
                    to our covenant —

                TRUE FAITH —

                St. John Fisher and St. Thomas More
                suffered the crown of martyrdom.

                May we have courage to proclaim
                    our faith as these martyrs were
                    so faithful to the Church.

                They witnessed with their lives.
 

                God asked Abraham
                    to be faithful to
                    Him

                Today's Readings
 

Genesis 15: 1-12, 17-18 

Some time later, the word of Yahweh came to Abram in a vision: 

Do not be afraid, Abram!
I am your shield
and shall give you a very great reward.

    'Lord Yahweh,' Abram replied, 'what use are your gifts, as I am going on my way childless? . . .  Since you have given me no offspring,' Abram continued, 'a member of my household will be my heir.' Then Yahweh's word came to him in reply, 'Such a one will not be your heir; no, your heir will be the issue of your own body.' Then taking him outside, he said, ‘Look up at the sky and count the stars if you can. Just so will your descendants be,’ he told him. Abram put his faith in Yahweh and this was reckoned to him as uprightness.

    He then said to him, "I am Yahweh who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldaeans to give you this country as your possession."  "Lord Yahweh," Abram replied, "how can I know that I shall possess it?" He said to him, "Bring me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old she-goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove and a young pigeon." He brought him all these, split the animals down the middle and placed each half opposite the other; but the birds he did not divide. And whenever birds of prey swooped down on the carcases, Abram drove them off.

    Now, as the sun was on the point of setting, a trance fell on Abram, and a deep dark dread descended on him.

When the sun had set and it was dark, there appeared a smoking firepot and a flaming torch passing between the animals' pieces. That day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram in these terms:

    "To your descendants I give this country,
    from the River of Egypt
        to the Great River,

                        the River Euphrates,

 

Psalm 105: 1-4, 6-9

Alleluia!

Give thanks to Yahweh, call on his name,
proclaim his deeds to the peoples!
Sing to him, make music for him,
recount all his wonders!
Glory in his holy name,
let the hearts that seek Yahweh rejoice!

Seek Yahweh and his strength,
tirelessly seek his presence!
Remember the marvels he has done,
his wonders, the judgements he has spoken.

Stock of Abraham, his servant,
children of Jacob whom he chose!
He is Yahweh our God,
his judgements touch the whole world.

He remembers his covenant for ever,
the promise he laid down for a thousand generations,
which he concluded with Abraham,
the oath he swore to Isaac.

 

Matthew 7: 15-20

‘Beware of false prophets who come to you disguised as sheep but underneath are ravenous wolves. You will be able to tell them by their fruits. Can people pick grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? In the same way, a sound tree produces good fruit but a rotten tree bad fruit. A sound tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor a rotten tree bear good fruit. Any tree that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown on the fire. I repeat, you will be able to tell them by their fruits.

      

                R. We read in today's first reading about the
                    Covenant between God and Abram —

                God told Abraham
                    he would have
                    descendants as
                    numerous as the
                    stars in the sky —

                Abraham put his
                    faith in the Lord
 


                The Lord remembers
                    His covenant forever —

                Abraham is the man of
                    faith —

                He believed what God
                    said was true —

                He was tested —
   

Genesis 15: 6

Abram put his faith in Yahweh and this was reckoned to him as uprightness.

   

                R. Abraham put his faith in God —
                Abraham did God's will —

                We need to follow Christ —
                We need to receive the sacraments —
                Paul used this line —
                If we believe in Jesus and
                live a good life —
                we don't have to hold
                    on to these Jewish traditions —

                This was a real battle
                    for Paul —

                In the Gospel it refers to false prophets —

                The Old Testament and New Testament
                    had its share of false prophets
                    that taught heresy —

                There is a guide here
                    if they are
                    genuine prophets —
                    if they lead a life
                    of holiness —
                    if they bear good fruit —
                Look at what they produce —
                This can tell how good a prophet they are —

                One who speaks in the
                    name of the Lord
                    will bear great fruit —

                We ask God to help us to
                    be true to His teachings —

                Let's pray for the Church —
                Pray for Catholic judges
                    and lawyers they will
                    follow the example
                    of St. Thomas More —

                We pray for all those in the
                    Church that men will
                    see the seeds of these
                    martyrs who gave their
                    lives and followed Christ
                    help bring us the truth
                    in the Church today —

                Lord You are holy —  

 

                R. From Your fountain outpour
                    Your grace to us
                    now —

                Jesus gave His Body and
                    Blood for us —

                Now the Mass is the sacrifice
                    of Calvary — Sacramentally
                    made present —

                We eat His Body —
                We drink His Blood —

                Oh Jesus thank You for
                    suffering and dying for us —

                Oh Jesus, thank You for
                    rising from the dead —

                Oh Jesus, I love You so
                    much —

                Oh Jesus thank You for
                    shedding Your Blood
                    for love of me —

                Oh Jesus, I love the Mass —

                Oh Jesus, You paid a precious price
                    to bring us the Church
                    and the Mass

                Oh Jesus, I eat Your Body,
                    I drink Your Blood —

                Oh Jesus, I love You —
                Oh Jesus I want to remain
                    in You —

                I want to bear great fruit
                    to help build the Kingdom

                Oh God, I am filled by You —
                    I long for Your presence —
                    I love You my God —

                We pray for our friend and
                    their family who died —
                    Oh God — love is Your
                    gift You give to us —

                For in suffering You draw
                    us close to You —

                The Martyrs paid a precious
                    price to bring us Your
                    truth —
                    they walked in Your
                    footprints Jesus —

                Oh God help the family of
                    my friend to find comfort
                    in You who love them
                    even when they lose a
                    loved one to death at an
                    early age —

                Oh God help us to see the
                    martyrs paid a big price
                    for us to bring us Your
                    gift of the Church —

                Oh God thank You for the seeds
                    of the martyrs who died to
                    stand by your truth —

                Oh God thank You for uniquely
                    choosing us to help build
                    up the Body of Christ —

                We are not infants in spiritual
                    maturity, but we are growing
                    in the spiritual life —
                    Oh God we know You more
                    and more —

                We all are different, with these
                    gifts to help build the
                    Kingdom —
                    all these things are needed —
                    to live out our calling
                    in love and know it is a
                    privilege to have these special
                    gifts —
                    to thank God for our gifts, unique
                        to us and to use them for the
                        building of the Kingdom —

                To thank God for the gifts of
                    others —
                    to see those gifts and to
                    praise God for these gifts to help
                    strengthen the body of Christ —

                Oh God You are so good to us —

                Oh God thank You for the martyrs
                    who died defending the faith —

                Oh God thank You for their courage
                    to give their lives in defense
                    of the truth —

                Oh God give us courage to love You —

                If we only trust ourselves we are
                    basing our lives on a
                    sinking ship —

                Pride is the first of the deadly sins — to be
                    humble is to walk in the footsteps of Jesus —
                    If we live in ourselves in selfishness —
                    we do not grow in the spiritual life —
                    We are to do God's will and love
                    others as ourselves —
                    We need to discipline ourselves —
                    Pride causes unhappiness in life —

                God wants us to trust Him —

                In relationships we try to grow
                    in goodness and love so others
                    can trust us —

                We cannot do the work as a member
                    of the body of Christ — if
                    we don't trust anybody else but
                    ourselves and fail to work in love with
                    the other members of the mystical body —
                    We must put aside pride and work for humility —

                If safety to us is found in working
                    alone and basing everything
                    on our talents alone, and our
                    dysfunctions — we are working not
                    as God intends as members
                    of the body of Christ —

                We are to love God and love others as ourselves —

                We pray for those who especially need
                    our prayers —

                We want to help build the Kingdom
                    of God —

                We see ourselves as brothers
                    and sisters in God's family —

                A married couple of 60 may have
                    grown children, grandchildren,
                    many in number —
                    people learned to work together
                    in love to have this fruit —
                    trusting each other — we must
                    work through the evil in us —
                    recognizing the good in us and
                    praising God for this!!

                Working together takes trust —

                Dying to the selfish, immature,
                    isolated ways of controlling —
                    Being as God wills us to be —
                    members in the body of Christ —

                We love like Christ —
                More and more —
                We live the Christ-life —

                We love God and we spend our
                    time with Him —

                We will give to that we love —
                We will give time —
                We will trust them —

                We want relationship —
                Relationships come from working
                    in love — not closing everyone
                    out —

                When I taught Fr. Carter's class — one
                    class a semester on relationship —
                    I would ask the college students —
                    What do you want in your
                    boyfriend or girlfriend?

                We made a list on the board
 

                    WANTED in Relationship
                    (1) They wanted somebody
                            who told the truth
                    (2) They wanted somebody
                            who was honest

                    (3) They wanted somebody
                            who was true to
                            their word

                    (4) They wanted somebody
                            reliable

                    (5) TRUSTWORTHY
                    (6) AUTHENTIC
                    (7) Commitment
    DIDN'T WANT in Relationship
      (1) A liar
      (2) Somebody who steals —
      (3) Somebody who stood
             them up

      (4) Not play games —
            
hold out
      (5) Not trustworthy
      (6) Kept secrets —
             had deceptions
      (7) Wouldn't commit

 

 

   From this relationship
    came
    24 people plus
    the husband and
    wife

 

 

                R. Fr. Carter would have me
                    teach Chapter 8 in Response to
                    God's Love
on relationships
 

                R. Fr. Carter said we had to walk
                    hand-in-hand

                It was God's will —

                Nobody wanted a boyfriend
                    or girlfriend in the college class
                    that was a liar, someone who
                    stole, someone untrustworthy or
                    someone who played games —
                    someone who provoked or stood
                    them up — nobody wanted someone
                    who was unpredictable —
                    or unkind —
                    or played games —
                    provoked them to make them
                        hurt
 


                What relationship could be
                    formed with these behaviors —

                NONE!!

                    they are selfish —
                    they are disharmonious
                    they are not ordered
 


                Jesus is the perfect
                    bridegroom —

                What they really described
                    for a boyfriend and girlfriend
                    was a heart like Jesus —

                Song: Give Me Your Heart oh Jesus —

                R. The movie Scrooge shows us
                    a lot —

                He didn't celebrate Christmas —

                He didn't have compassion
                    in his heart —

                He saw only himself and others
                    were for his use —

                Relationships — Unity is
                    based - even though
                    people are unique —
                    on basic goodness and
                    trust like in the Heart
                    of Jesus —

                If we don't trust Jesus
                    we won't have a
                    relationship with Him

                In learning to trust others —
                    work together, we build
                    communities — we strengthen
                    our relationship with Jesus —

                How can we have relationships with
                    God we don't see when we can't
                    relate with those we see —

                The martyrs trusted God
                    so much — they were
                    willing to die for what
                    they believed —

                They had faith in the truth
                    of Jesus —
                   

The Our Father

    Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

 

                R. Building relationships mean
                    we can't lie about things —
                    we don't steal others
                        properties —
                    we trust —
                    we don't play games
                    we don't hold out —

                We do unto others what we would have them do unto us —

                We let our "yes" mean "yes"
                    and our "no" mean "no" —

                The picture we present to others is
                    what is authentically in our
                    heart —

                We don't say one thing, but in our
                    heart mean something else —
                    Wear a mask!!

                Relationship comes from
                   
. unity —
                   
. dying to oneself —
                   
. not being afraid to be under
                        any authority
                   
. not being afraid to commit
                        to relationships
                   
. not having to control others by games,
                        holding out

I recommend this book to all who wish to grow in their love for the Lord, who sustains the life of His Church through the precious gift of His Body and Blood.” Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I., Archbishop of Chicago $10

Ecce Fides is a work dedicated to defending Catholic beliefs through reason, Scripture, and the life of the Holy Spirit. "It is important that we (as people of God) return to the source of life, our faith, which is usefully exposed in this volume, and take it out to our contemporaries, evangelizing them and their cultures and inculturating the Gospel." Cardinal – Pontifical Council for Culture – Vatican City $10

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 - 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
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 - The Word Alive in Our Hearts. - Cycle A (partial) — Homilies by the Reverend Joe Robinson given at St. Boniface Church in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is a tremendous honor Fr. Joe has allowed us to share these great gifts with you – for greater holiness and knowing more and more about God. $10

Priestly Newsletter - 2000 #1 - CD. - Christ is Our Strength - Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our-selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
Priestly Newsletter - 2000 #2 - CD. - Suffering: A Source of Life - Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. Fr. Carter knew suffering that year. His voice is so powerful as he read each Newsletter from his heart and soul. "Every man has his own share in the redemption. Each one is also called to share in that suffering through which the redemption was accomplished. He is called to share in that suffering through which all human suffering has also been redeemed. In bringing about the redemption through suffering, Christ has also raised human suffering to the level of the redemption. Thus each man in his suffering can also become a sharer in the redemptive suffering of Christ..." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
