"All whatsoever you do in word or work, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
giving thanks to God the Father through Jesus Christ our Lord"--- Blessed Apostle Saint Paul
"Let it not be as a murderer or a thief, a malefactor or a coveter of other men's goods that any of you suffer; but if it is for the name of Christian, let him be not ashamed, but glorify God in that name." --- Blessed Apostle Saint Peter ( First Epistle 4:15-16 )
† FEAST OF SAINT ALPHEGE †
Archbishop and "the First Martyr of Canterbury." He was born in 953 and became a monk in the Deerhurst Monastery in Gloucester, England, asking after a few years to become a hermit. He received permission for this vocation and retired to a small hut near Somerset, England. In 984 Alphege assumed the role of abbot of the abbey of Bath, founded by Saint Dunstan and by his own efforts. Many of his disciples from Somerset joined him at Bath. In that same year, Alphege succeeded Ethelwold as bishop of Winchester. He served there for two decades, famed for his care of the poor and for his own austere life. King Aethelred the Unready used his abilities in 994, sending him to mediate with invading Danes. The Danish chieftain Anlaf converted to Christianity as a result of his meetings with Alphege, although he and the other chief, Swein, demanded tribute from the Anglo-Saxons of the region. Anlaf vowed never to lead his troops against Britain again. In 1005 Alphege became the successor to Aleric as the archbishop of Canterbury, receiving the pallium in Rome from Pope John XVIII. He returned to England in time to be captured by the Danes pillaging the southern regions. The Danes besieged Canterbury and took Saint Alphege captive. The ransom for his release was about three thousand pounds and went unpaid. Saint Alphege refused to give the Danes that much, an act which infuriated them. He was hit with an ax and then beaten to death. Revered as a martyr, Saint Alphege's remains were placed in Saint Paul's Church in London. The body, moved to Canterbury in 1023, was discovered to be incorrupt in 1105. Relics of St. Alphege are also in Bath, Glastonbury, Ramsey, Reading, Durham, Yorkminster and in Westminster Abbey. His emblem is an ax, and he is depicted in his pontifical vestments or as a shepherd defending his flock.

Léctio Epístolæ beati Joánnis Apóstoli.
Caríssimi: Omne, quod natum est ex Deo, vincit mundum: et hæc est victória, quæ vincit mundum, fides nostra. Quis est, qui vincit mundum, nisi qui credit quóniam Jesus est Fílius Dei? Hic est qui venit per aquam et sánguinem, Jesus Christus: non in aqua solum, sed in aqua et sánguine. Et Spíritus est, qui testificátur, quóniam Christus est véritas. Quóniam tres sunt, qui testimónium dant in cælo: Pater, Verbum, et Spíritus Sanctus; et hi tres unum sunt. Et tres sunt qui testimónium dant in terra: Spíritus, et aqua, et sanguis: et hi tres unum sunt. Si testimónium hóminum accípimus, testimónium Dei majus est: quóniam hoc est testimónium Dei, quod majus est; quóniam testificátus est de Fílio suo. Qui credit in Fílium Dei, habet testimónium Dei in se.

A reading from the Epistle of the blessed Apostle Saint John.
Dearly beloved: Whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world; and This is the victory which overcometh the world, our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is He that came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit which testifieth that Christ is the truth. And there are three who give testimony in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that give testimony on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood: and these three are one. If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater: for this is the testimony of God, which is greater, because He hath testified of His Son. He that believeth in the Son of God hath the testimony of God in himself.

† Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Joannem †
I n illo tempore: In illo témpore: Cum sero esset die illo, una sabbatórum, et fores essent clausæ, ubi erant discípuli congregáti propter metum Judæórum: venit Jesus, et stetit in médio, et dixit eis: "Pax vobis." Et cum hoc dixísset, osténdit eis manus, et latus. Gavísi sunt ergo discípuli, viso Dómino. Dixit ergo eis íterum: "Pax vobis. Sicut misit me Pater, et ego mitto vos." Hæc cum dixísset, insufflávit: et dixit eis: "Accípite Spíritum Sanctum: Quorum remiséritis peccáta, remittúntur eis: et quorum retinuéritis, reténta sunt." Thomas autem unus ex duódecim, qui dícitur Dídymus, non erat cum eis, quando venit Jesus. Dixérunt ergo ei álii discípuli: Vídimus Dóminum. Ille autem dixit eis: Nisi vídero in mánibus ejus fixúram clavórum, et mittam dígitum meum in locum clavórum, et mittam manum meam in latus ejus, non credam. Et post dies octo, íterum erant discípuli ejus intus; et Thomas cum eis. Venit Jesus, jánuis clausis, et stetit in médio, et dixit: "Pax vobis. Deínde dicit Thomæ: "Infer dígitum tuum huc, et vide manus Meas, et affer manum tuam, et mitte in latus Meum: et noli esse incrédulus, sed fidélis." Respóndit Thomas, et dixit ei: Dóminus meus, et Deus meus. Dixit ei Jesus: "Quia vidísti me, Thoma, credidísti: beáti qui non vidérunt, et credidérunt." Multa quidem et ália signa fecit Jesus in conspéctu discipulórum suórum, quæ non sunt scripta in libro hoc. Hæc autem scripta sunt ut credátis, quia Jesus est Christus Fílius Dei: et ut credéntes, vitam habeátis in nómine ejus. |

† A continuation of the Holy Gospel recorded by Blessed Apostle Saint John †
A t that time, when it was late that same day, the first of the week, and the doors were shut, where the disciples were gathered together for fear of the Jews, Jesus came, and stood in the midst and said to them: "Peace be to you." And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord. He said therefore to them again: "Peace be to you: as the Father hath sent Me, I also send you." When He had said this, He breathed on them, and He said to them, "Receive ye the Holy Ghost: whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them, and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained." Now Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said to him: We have seen the Lord. But he said to them: Except I shall see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe. And after eight days, again His disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said: "Peace be to you." Then He saith to Thomas: "Put in thy finger hither, and see My hands, and bring hither thy hand, and put it into My side; and be not faithless, but believing." Thomas answered, and said to him: My Lord, and my God. Jesus saith to him: "Because thou hast seen Me, Thomas, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen and have believed." Many other signs also did Jesus in the sight of His disciples which are not written in this book. But these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God; and that, believing, you may have life in His name. |
Homily For Low Sunday
23 April 2006 Anno Domini
by Father Louis J. Campbell
"Qui legit, intelligat"
"He who readeth, let him understand"
The Just Anger of God
Lent may be over, but it does not mean we let up our disciplines of prayer and fasting for we need to be steeled and ready for fierce spiritual warfare for the evil one plies his trade everywhere, growing more fierce in his attacks on his Adversary, which hurts most when it is directed toward His Own Blessed Mother who will play such a pivotal role in satan's demise. Are we going to sit idly by and let the evil one control men to blaspheme and denounce God and ridicule His Mother? If so we're not showing much loyalty and shouldn't be surprised at why the Almighty is so justly angry.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
"Rejoice, with the Blessed Virgin Mary, with Blessed Apostle Saint Mary Magdalene, with the Blessed Eleven, and the holy women who came to the empty tomb, we believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. With Thomas, who once doubted, we make our profession of faith, "My Lord and my God!" The Blessed Apostle Saint John assures us in today's Epistle, "This is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith."
It is with great sadness that we witness the faithlessness of the present generation. We have already noted that some who do not know God dare to blaspheme His Divine Son, Jesus Christ, presenting Him as a merely human figure who staged His own Resurrection, married Mary Magdalene, and left a line of descendants who still live on this earth. This is the theme of The Da Vinci Code. Yet in what must inflame God's anger to its height, calling down His justified and imminent chastisements upon this world, they now shamelessly insult the holy, most pure and Immaculate Virgin Mary. In a shocking and blasphemous musical comedy entitled "Mary, Like a Virgin," Mary is portrayed as a lewd and impure woman, and blasphemous things are implied about her relationship with the all-holy God.
Blasphemy - among the greatest of sins, a crime punishable by death in the Old Testament, as we read in the Book of Leviticus: "Tell the Israelites: Anyone who curses his God shall bear the penalty of his sin; whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord shall be put to death. The whole community shall stone him; alien and native alike must be put to death for blaspheming the Lord's name" (Leviticus 24:15,16).
God revealed His Holy Name to Moses on Mount Sinai. When Moses asked Him, "When I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' if they ask me, 'What is His name?' what am I to tell them?" And God said, "This is what you shall tell the Israelites: I AM sent me to you." (Exodus 3:13,14).
On several occasions Our Lord took to Himself the holy Name, I AM, to which He had a right, being the only-begotten Son of God. Falsely accusing Our Lord of blasphemy, the Jews took up stones to cast at Him when He said to them: "Abraham your father rejoiced that he was to see My day. He saw it and was glad." The Jews therefore said to Him, 'Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast Thou seen Abraham?' Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I AM.' They therefore took up stones to cast at Him; but Jesus hid Himself, and went out from the temple" ( Blessed Apostle Saint John 8:56-59 ).
About Our Lord's trial before the Sanhedrin we read: "Again the high priest began to ask Him, and said to Him, 'Art Thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?' And Jesus said to him, "I am. And you shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power and coming with the clouds of Heaven." But the high priest tore His garments and said, 'What further need have we of witnesses? You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?' And they all condemned Him as liable to death" ( Blessed Apostle Saint Mark 14:61-64 ).
We find in the Catechism of the Council of Trent a well deserved rebuke against those who abuse the name of the Lord. After discussing other sins against the Second Commandment, the Catechism says about blasphemy: "Still more enormous is the guilt of those who, with impure and defiled lips, dare to curse or blaspheme the holy name of God - that name which is to be blessed and praised above measure by all creatures, or even the names of the Saints who reign with Him in glory. So atrocious and horrible is this crime that the Sacred Scriptures, sometimes when speaking of blasphemy use the word blessing."
The greatest of Saints reigning with God in glory, our beloved Mother and Queen, is insulted, derided, pierced to the heart in this latest horrible caricature of the holiest and fairest of all God's creatures. The Immaculate Mother of the Risen and Glorified Christ, assumed body and soul into Heaven with Him, is dragged through the mud and filth of this sinful world. How can we not weep and mourn such an indignity to our beloved Holy Mother? How can we not rise up in righteous anger at so great an offense against Heaven! May Saint Michael the Archangel cast down those impious scoundrels as he cast out the devil and his angels from Heaven: "And there was a battle in Heaven; Michael and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels. And they did not prevail, neither was their place found any more in Heaven" ( Apocalypse 12:7,8 ).
This must be a wakeup call for us. The Son of God Himself is denied and crucified again, and the sword of sorrow once again pierces the heart of His Holy Mother. God's just anger is being enkindled against a world immersed in sin and unbelief, and the threatened chastisements are upon us. The angels are already pouring out the bowls of God's wrath upon the nations. If we let these terrible atrocities pass us by without springing into action we may never have the grace to resist the onslaughts of Satan's kingdom. If we remain passive and spineless while the enemies of the cross of Christ have their way we may end up like them: "For many walk, of whom I have told you often and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ. Their end is ruin, their god is the belly, their glory is in their shame, they mind the things of earth" ( Philippians 3:18,19 ).
Our chief weapon in the spiritual combat is devout and persevering prayer - our rosaries and other devotions, our prayerful Scripture reading, our meditating on the things of God, and devout participation in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. We must proclaim our loyalty to Christ and His Kingdom by conforming our lives to His - no more affection for sin and the broad path that leads to destruction, but a firm choice of the narrow way that leads to life. But we can also act together to defend what we hold dear, demonstrating to the world that we will not accept its insults and blasphemies against our God and His Holy Mother. We have work to do.
-
"All that is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith. Who is there that overcomes the world if not he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God… He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony of God in himself" (1 Blessed Apostle Saint John 5:4,5,10 ). †
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

PREFACE FOR EASTER

Vere dignum et justum est, æqum et salutáre, te quidem Dómine omni témpore, sed in hac potíssimum die, gloriósius prædicáre, cum Pascha nostrum immolátus est Christus. Ipse enim verus est Agnus qui ábstulit peccáta mundi. Qui mortem nostram moriéndo destrúxit, et vitam resurgéndo reparávit. Et ídeo cum Angelis et Archángelis, cum Thronis et Dóminatiónibus, cumque omni milítia cæléstis exércitus, hymnum glóriæ tuæ cánimus sine fine dicentes: SANCTUS, SANCTUS, SANCTUS... |
|
It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, at all times to praise Thee, O Lord, but more gloriously especially at this time above others when Christ our Pasch was sacrificed. For He is the true Lamb Who hath taken away the sins of the world: Who by dying hath destroyed our death: and by rising again hath restored us to life. And therefore with Angels and Archangels, with Thrones and Dominations, and with all the hosts of the heavenly army, we sing the hymn of Thy glory, evermore saying: HOLY, HOLY, HOLY...
