Feast of Saint Andrew, Apostle
First Reading: Romans 10:9-18
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 19
Gospel: Matthew 4:18-22
As Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; they were fishermen. He said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.” At once they left their nets and followed him. He walked along from there and saw two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat, with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. He called them, and immediately they left their boat and their father and followed him. (Mt 4:18-22)
In today's gospel, we read about the calling of the first disciples, among those was Andrew. Today specifically we celebrate his feast day and honor him for his love and dedication of the Lord. I think that after reading about Andrew and the other apostles that were called, we should find great comfort in our own calling to the Lord. Many times we feel inadequate in the things that we feel the Lord is calling us to. But we must remember that when Jesus called those first disciples, He wasn't looking in the schools and the palaces for the most educated or most experiences men. Jesus called His first disciples while walking along the beach. He called fishermen and tax collectors. Jesus wasn't looking for the world's best and brightest (and this is obvious in His choices), He was looking for those who would hear His voice and listen.
Saint Paul tells us today that; "Thus faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the word of Christ." (Rom 10:17) Saint Andrew and the other Apostles were picked because they heard the voice of Christ and listened; they had faith in Him who came into this world for us. When called for His purpose, they went; even if they didn't fully understand at the time, they still went with Him. We can say what we want about the disciples in their early years of following Christ, but it takes a lot of faith to leave everything and everyone you know behind to follow Him. Saint Andrew and the other apostles in today's gospel are excellent examples of surrendering the things of this world and following the Lord, may we all be blessed with same type of courage in our own lives.
If faith comes from what is heard, then blessed are those who hear our Lord Jesus Christ!
Father above, we thank you and praise you for the gift of this day. Lord, help us to hear you and to know you more. Lord, as we go along in this season of advent, help us to gain a better understanding of this time and of your coming into this world for us. Lord, may we grow in faith, hope and love of you during this time. We pray for all those in need of conversion, may the season of advent draw them closer to your love and your truth. We ask this all through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Trials and Persecution
Readings for Wednesday November 25, 2009
First Reading: Daniel 5:1-6, 13-14, 16-17, 23-28
Responsorial Psalm: Daniel 3:62
Gospel: Luke 21:12-19
Jesus said to the crowd: “They will seize and persecute you, they will hand you over to the synagogues and to prisons, and they will have you led before kings and governors because of my name. It will lead to your giving testimony. Remember, you are not to prepare your defense beforehand, for I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute. You will even be handed over by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will put some of you to death. You will be hated by all because of my name, but not a hair on your head will be destroyed. By your perseverance you will secure your lives.” (Lk 21:12-19)
I have to admit, when I read passages like the one from today's gospel, regarding being handed over and put to death, it is a bit scary. Even though it is hard to imagine this, I do take comfort in Christ's words, "not a hair on your head will be destroyed. By your perseverance you will secure your lives." I am comforted by the fact that I can trust in God, and that I should not worry about what the world may do to me, but rather worry about a life without Him. And when we are faced with these trials, we should rely on the power of the Holy Spirit to give us the wisdom and the guidance that we need.
It is not so much death that I fear, but rather leaving people and things behind. But then in these moments I quickly remember that I am really not losing anything, but rather I am gaining so much more.
The question is not "if" we will face trials and persecution, but rather the question is "when" will we face them. May we all be granted courage when faced with trials and persecution, and may we all rely on the power of the Holy Spirit to lead us even when we are the most afraid.
Father above, we thank you and praise you for the gift of this day. Lord, help us to trust in you with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength. Lord, give us the strength and courage to face whatever it is that you call us to. We pray for all of our priests and religious; may they be strengthened in their ministries and in their vows. We ask this all through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Nothing lasts forever
Readings for Tuesday November 24, 2009
Memorial of Saint Andrew Dung-Lac, priest and martyr, and his companions, martyrs
First Reading: Daniel 2:31-45
Responsorial Psalm: Daniel 3:57
Gospel: Luke 21:5-11
While some people were speaking about how the temple was adorned with costly stones and votive offerings, Jesus said, “All that you see here – the days will come when there will not be left a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down.” (Lk 21:5-6)
When it comes to things of this world, they all cannot past one simple test ... the test of time. It doesn't matter what it is, everything has a point where it eventually comes to an end. Nothing on this earth lasts forever, and this certainly includes us. But we do try to act like we can make things last forever. A great example is our youth. How much money is spent on anti-wrinkle creams, hair dying products, facial scrubs, weight loss pills, etc; all in the effort to keep a youthful appearance. Now, I am not saying that there is anything wrong with using these products, but it is a good illustration of how we are always trying to hold on to things. And it is certainly not just things of our own body that we are concerned with, there are many things that we cling to like they will last forever. Some people cling to cars, houses, and other material things. Some people cling to people and relationships. The truth is that none of these things will last forever, and while it is okay to enjoy these things while we are here on earth, we must understand that there is much more in store for us at the end of time.
In today's gospel, Jesus tells the people that even the temple will not last forever, and even the sacred temple will be destroyed. Jesus tells the people that not one stone will be left upon another and that all will be thrown down. Jesus shows the people that all earthly things are not meant to last. This is the same message that we get from the first reading in the book of Daniel today. When Daniel was interpreting the king's dream, he showed how each of the kingdoms of the earth will come to an end and that they will be replaced by a heavenly kingdom that is of God. We of course know this to be the kingdom that Jesus would establish. But it is clear from the readings today that the things of this earth will one day come to an end, and will be replaced with the good things of God.
The intent of this blog post is certainly not to depress anybody, but rather to get us thinking with an eternal perspective. It is okay to realize that nothing on this earth will last, because there is something more and much better in store for us. May we all thank and praise the God above for preparing a place for each of us in His eternal kingdom!
Father above, we thank you and praise you for the gift of this day. Lord, we know that you are our King and our Lord, help us to serve you as we are each called to. Lord, help us to surrender to you each moment of each day, so that we can do your will in this life. Lord, you alone are our God and we are your people. We pray for all of our brothers and sisters who have fallen away from their faith, may they come back home and into your arms. We ask this all through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Hold nothing back!
Readings for Monday November 23, 2009
Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King
First Reading: Daniel 1:1-6, 8-20
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm
Gospel: Luke 21:1-4
When Jesus looked up he saw some wealthy people putting their offerings into the treasury and he noticed a poor widow putting in two small coins. He said, “I tell you truly, this poor widow put in more than all the rest; for those others have all made offerings from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has offered her whole livelihood.” (Lk 21:1-4)
In all my years of playing sports, the only regrets that I had ever felt were from the times that I didn't feel as though I was giving it my all. There were times when I was just having an off day, and for whatever reason I was just dogging it. I would especially feel this during a game time situation where I felt as though I took a play off, or just wasn't focused on what I was doing. I can tell you the practices and games where I gave all of my energy and my very best (regardless of the score) were the times that I truly felt like a winner. My coaches often referred to this as "leaving it all on the field." Meaning that while playing the sport we would give all that we had, our entire focus, energy, passion, strength, everything; we would leave it all on the field, if we did that then we would be winners.
This idea of giving our very best and not slacking off in life, seems to be grounded in some truth. Think about it, how many times do you regret giving your very best at something? Now, how many times do you regret the times that you have held back? We spend so much time looking back at missed opportunities and missed chances that perhaps we never took or never gave our best at. Most people do not regret giving their best in life, because there is a sense of accomplishment that comes along with this, there is the feeling and idea of knowing that you did not hold back regardless of the outcome.
In today's gospel we read of a poor widow who also did not spend her life holding back. This woman in her poverty gave all that she had, you could say that she "left it all on the field." While her contribution did not have the monetary value that the others did, her bold move was certainly noticed by Christ. This is what Jesus asks of us every day, not to hold back from Him, to give Him all of what we have, not just a little bit. We must remember that Jesus did not hold back anything for us, not even a single drop of blood. Christ poured out Himself totally for us, and this is the model of which we should follow.
One day, when our time here on earth is all finished, do you want to meet Jesus with no regrets, knowing you gave your all, and left it all on the field? Or, are you okay living with the regret knowing that you held back?
Father above, we thank you and praise you for the gift of this day. Lord, we thank you for our lives and the great opportunities that you call all of us to. Lord, you love us so much, and your sacrifice for us was so great; help us to surrender and sacrifice for you as you did for us. We pray that your will be done, that we will seek what you want in all things in our life, that you will take us and lead us to where we are meant to be. We pray for all those in need of conversion, and for all those seeking true love and peace in their lives; may they find it in you. We ask this all through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Cleansing the Temple
Readings for Friday November 20, 2009
First Reading: 1 Maccabees 4:36-37, 52-59
Responsorial Psalm: 1 Chronicles 29:10
Gospel: Lk 19:45-48
Jesus entered the temple area and proceeded to drive out those who were selling things, saying to them,“It is written, My house shall be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves.” And every day he was teaching in the temple area. (Lk 19:45-47)
In today's readings, we read about two different times that the temple was cleansed of the things and people who defiled it. Jesus went in and drove out those who were treating it as a market rather than the house of God. I think that today's readings give us a good reminder that we are to treat those things that are holy and of God with the proper respect and reverence that they deserve. Today is a good day to think about how do we conduct ourselves when we enter the house of the Lord. If you are like me, perhaps when you are on your way to mass your are running so late that the only thing you are concerned about is rushing in and finding a seat. But I know that this is the house of God and that Jesus himself is in their, I think that each of us would do well to examine how we treat the house of God.
As a final though for the day, not only should we be showing respect and reverence for the church, but also for the other temple of God ... our bodies. Saint Paul tells us in his first letter to the Corinthians; "Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy that person; for the temple of God which you are, is holy." (1 Cor 3:16-17) So today, let us also reflect on how we treat our own bodies, our own temples of God. Are we honoring Him by what we are putting into our bodies? Are we careful of the music, movies, TV shows, conversations, and other things that we let into our minds? Are we asking God each day to rid us of the sin and to fill our hearts only with Him?
May we all remember to treat God's temples with the respect and reverence of which they deserve.
Father above, we thank you and praise you for the gift of this day. Lord, please forgive us for the times that we have not shown reverence for the church or for our own bodies, which are all your dwelling places. Lord help us to do what is please to you and to only fill our hearts and minds with the things that are good and Holy. We pray for all of our youth and for their dignity. We ask this all through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Zeal
Readings for Thursday November 19, 2009
First Reading: 1 Maccabees 2:15-29
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 50
Gospel: Luke 19:41-44
As he finished saying these words, a certain Jew came forward in the sight of all to offer sacrifice on the altar in Modein according to the king’s order. When Mattathias saw him, he was filled with zeal; his heart was moved and his just fury was aroused; he sprang forward and killed him upon the altar. At the same time, he also killed the messenger of the king who was forcing them to sacrifice, and he tore down the altar. Thus he showed his zeal for the law, just as Phinehas did with Zimri, son of Salu. (1 Mc 2:23-26)
If you have not read the entire book of Maccabees, I would strongly recommend it. Being a Catholic convert, we did not have the book of Maccabees in our bible (my old protestant bible was a bit lighter without those other book), so I never had heard any of the stories from this book until I came home to the church. The first time I ever read this book I thought it was so exciting, here you have this guy Mattathias who refuses to obey the kings orders and abandon God's ways. As soon as he sees another Jew obey the king instead of God, Mattathias goes absolutely crazy. The scripture says that "he was filled with zeal." I got to tell you, that kind of zeal is exciting, because obviously at that time not only disobeying the king's orders, but also taking out the Israelite who disobeyed God and the king's guys, now I am sure that Mattathias knew that there would be serious consequences because of that. But Mattathias didn't care about what could happen to him, he only cared about following where God was leading him.
We too like Mattathias and his sons are in a cultural war, where we are asked to maybe do things that go against our beliefs and God's ways. There is also increasing pressure from outside forces that seek to attack things that we hold so dear, such as the dignity of human life and the Sacrament of marriage. We must ask the Lord for the same type of zeal that was given to Mattathias, the kind of zeal to make bold moves in this life. Now, please do not think that I am saying that we should go out like Mattathias and kill people, that is not exactly what I am saying. I am saying that the zeal of the Lord can help us to stay strong against these many battles that we face on a daily basis. They can help us to stay strong against these current threats that we face and be zealous over God's ways.
May we all be granted zeal to share the faith and to stay strong against the challenges in this life.
Father above, we thank you and praise you for the gift of this day. Lord, thank you for all that we have and all that we are given. We pray for the zeal and courage to go out and do your will each day. Lord, help make your path for us clear so that we may only do what is pleasing to you. We ask this all through Christ our Lord. Amen.
