The importance of silence in our lives. That we must not just have an absence of sound but an absence of noise (internal noise).
…so that we can listen to others
…so that we can listen to God, so that we can hear God

This came from the 1st Reading, the Psalm (If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts), and the Gospel (Jesus first quieted the demon before healing the man).
 
Our Reading and Gospel was the same and priests talking that homosexualitty is not normal and things like that.

way too hot at Saturday Vigil Mass for a homily in my rural church. so we prayed for emergency services instead. to get fires out and stay safe.

today still really hot but in a stone cathedral that was much larger. The Bishop was talkong about this year hearing a lot of Gospel from St Mark.
 
Too early yet. I’m still barely out of bed in Pacific Time. I’ll report back, though. This will help me remember.
 
In the homily… as said in this thread in the first post, if a lay person thinks an exorcist is needed, he should

First talk to your pastor and explain the situation to him.

If he thinks it is nessecary, he will talk to your diocese. Exorcism is a complicated and serious rite and not one that someone should ‘dial up’ on request.

The importance of sacrifice because heaven is our true home. All things pass on earth, but heaven is eternal. It’s not worth it to buy luxurious things because their worth will be moot once we die. Putting God before all things…and the importance of relying on God but also being responsible ourselves.
 
I’m not going to today’s Mass for another three hours, so today’s homily hasn’t yet happened for me.

The homily yesterday for St. Angela Merici’s feast day was on the importance of listening to young people’s concerns and following St. Angela’s example in teaching and guiding our youth.
 
The authority and power of Christ is genuine was Fathers main point.

He compared it to that of the wizard in the Wizard of Oz, who did not have the power or authority do do what he had promised for Dorothy and her friends.
 
He talked about the contrast between thinking of morality as a series of do’s and don’ts and the thinking that sees morality as the development of virtue and a relationship with God. We don’t just do things that are right or wrong but in every act cultivate a relationship with evil spirits by embracing habits of vice or else devote ourselves to the development of virtue and a relationship with God.

It reminded me of a passage from the Screwtape Letters. (For those unfamiliar with the book, it is a letter from an experienced demon to a demon who is a novice at tempting an individual soul away from God. The letter writer, therefore, refers to the sould as the “patient” and refers to God as the Enemy.)

MY DEAR WORMWOOD,

Obviously you are making excellent progress. My only fear is lest in attempting to hurry the patient you awaken him to a sense of his real position. For you and I, who see that position as it really is, must never forget how totally different it ought to appear to him. We know that we have introduced a change of direction in his course which is already carrying him out of his orbit around he Enemy; but he must be made to imagine that all the choices which have effected this change of course are trivial and revocable. He must not be allowed to suspect that he is now, however slowly, heading right away from the sun on a line which will carry him into the cold and dark of utmost space…

The priest talked about how sacramental healing in confession is necessary as opposed to just relying on therapy and gave examples of how it can help physical healing as well.

I was lectoring today, and I have to admit, when I got to that part of the second reading, I was starting to feel a bit awkward.
 
The priest talked about the responsibilities of authority figures (teachers, etc.) in leading those who look up to them to Jesus, that they should be exemplifying the values of the Church. Then he mentioned the importance of Reconciliation in freeing ourselves from sin, and that turning to God is how we avoid “brokenness” in relationships with others (he tends to speak about this sort of thing fairly often).

Our associate pastor, since Msgr is in Rome for a six-week sabbatical, talked about his authority in the parish. He is East Indian, and I suspect he is rooting out racism in the parish. Particularly if it occurs in our school. (Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)
