Aflame 150 - Confirmation Homily 7:43

3 дні тому7:43

7:43

This year, Fr. Joseph had the privilege of administering the Sacrament of Confirmation to the young people at his parish. They stood to receive it...but for whom were they standing? What does it mean to "stand" for something? And what is the cost of standing for Jesus Christ? Confirmation means taking a stand when it's difficult, but only when we know what we would die for will we truly begin to live!…

Aflame 149 - Hope Over Despair 6:39

11 днів тому6:39

6:39

Christ's Resurrection is a historical event, but it is more than historical - it reverberates through history as the actualization of life's triumph over death. Now, for believers, it colors everything we do - rather than life being about "wasting time" until our own demise, it's a journey to an everlasting Kingdom where we, too, shall never die.…

Aflame 148 - The Tree of Life 4:10

13 днів тому4:10

4:10

Two trees dwelt in a garden - one of which led to death, while one led to life. The Tree of Life had been sealed since that fateful day in the beginning, but on Good Friday it is unsealed for us - obedience unto death becoming our life!

Aflame 147 - Look Upon the Cross 3:22

17 днів тому3:22

3:22

If you want to see the depths of God's love for you, the ultimate meaning of life, the key to understanding human history, the fulfillment of all your desires - look upon the Cross and see the Answer!

Aflame 146 - Punishable By Death 8:55

24 дні тому8:55

8:55

Jesus' mercy saves a woman caught in adultery - but why was adultery punishable by death? Because all sin is punished by death - Jesus' death on the Cross, which not only cleanses the blot of our sin but gives us the grace to "go and sin no more".

Aflame 145 - More Than Your GDP 10:21

5 weeks тому10:21

10:21

This prodigal young man saw the world in terms of hedonism and economics – everything was for sale. But this only led to the chora makra – the great emptiness. He was rescued, then, by the free and lavish grace of a Father who restored him to relationship in the house of love. Isn’t that our story, too?…

Aflame 144 - A Dog's Life 6:42

6 weeks тому6:42

6:42

It would be so easy to be a dog! Nothing much to worry about. But as human beings, we know we are made for something more. God honors us in the Scriptures by inviting us into a relationship with Him and then equipping us for works of holiness. What a great dignity this displays!

Aflame 143 - Glimpses of Heaven 7:48

7 weeks тому7:48

7:48

God gives us glimpses of Heaven all the time - those small joys that lift our hearts, that make us yearn for a joy that never ends. But they are only glimpses to stir up our desires for Heaven, not enough to make us want to remain here on earth. How do these glimpses of Heavenly joy reflect the joy that we will experience when we dwell with God for eternity? And how should we use these good things on earth in such a way as to set our hearts on the better things to come?…

Aflame 142 - The Art of Saying "No" 8:01

7 weeks тому8:01

8:01

Most Catholics are not good at saying "no". We believe that, as Americans, pleasure and self-indulgence is our birthright. But paradoxically, saying "no" is actually saying a generous "yes" to a greater good, to interior freedom, and to love. Christ teaches us that fasting is one of the keys to spiritual strength - why should we do it, and how should it best be done?…

Aflame 141 - A New Heart 4:14

8 weeks тому4:14

4:14

If one were to need a heart transplant, taking a painkiller would only mask the underlying problem. In the same way, putting on ashes is a useless mask without the underlying repentance that changes our lives. Yes, it is difficult and costly - but it is the only thing that will save us.

Aflame 140 - The Tongue of a Christian 9:24

9 weeks тому9:24

9:24

"The power of life and death are in the tongue," says the book of Proverbs. Indeed, our words have the power to give life or take it away, to build up or tear down. Let's look at some characteristics that should be found in the words of every Christian!

Aflame 139 - Tree Beside Flowing Waters 7:42

10 weeks тому7:42

7:42

The "American way" is to pull yourself up by your bootstraps, work hard, and make life happen by your own efforts. Then why is life so doggone difficult? Perhaps because we were never meant to face our challenges and crosses on our own, but rather with the strength of God. We can find peace and strength by surrendering to God's will, finding a "holy indifference" to success or failure, poverty or riches. So long as we are deeply rooted in Him, all will be well!…

Aflame 138 - Fear of the Lord 7:54

11 weeks тому7:54

7:54

When faced with the Lord's immense power and might, the proper response is awe and trembling. Isaiah was overwhelmed; Peter recognized his insignificance. But rather than being opposed, fear of the Lord directs us to properly love the Lord, as we seek to conform our life to His beautiful, holy will.

Aflame 137 - The Reward of Perseverance 11:16

12 weeks тому11:16

11:16

The two elderly saints in today's Gospel, Sts. Simeon and Anna, demonstrate perfectly the importance of perseverance. They prayed for the coming of the Messiah for decades; were faithful to fasting and sacrifice; were vigilant as they looked for Him; and stayed true to their vocations. We, too, are called to persevere in the Christian life, for only those who persevere will be able to win the crown of glory!…
