TODAY'SREADINGS:Jeremiah13:1-11;Matthew 13:31-35 (401). "The kingdom ofheaven is like a mustard seed that a persontook and sowed in a field.”Invest just five minutes a day, and your faith willdeepen and grow—a day at a time.Tuesday, Jul 31, 2018MEMORIAL OF IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA, PRIESTSunday, Jul 29, 2018Make a retreatSEVENTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIMEEver make a retreat after a busy time in your life?Waste not, want notThe earth is in danger of becoming our garbagecan. It’s estimated that U.S. citizens throw out 90percent of what we buy within the year. A lot ofthat is packaging, including the double-packagingof cardboard and plastic around many products.Let’s clean up our act! Avoid buying over-packageditems, as well as things you don’t really need.Embrace recycling as an act of love for the planetand its people. Find new homes for books,clothing, furniture, kitchen items, and technology.Shrink your footprint, expand your heart.TODAY'S READINGS: 2 Kings 4:42-44;Ephesians 4:1-6; John 6:1-15 (110). “Gather thefragments left over, so that nothing will bewasted.”Did you find it hard to slow down and reflect?Picture Ignatius laid up for more than nine monthsrecovering from a broken leg. He had been asoldier, a brawler, a womanizer, and a gambler.Suddenly he was immobile, reading, then praying,and then having mystical experiences. Out of thisexperience came his Spiritual Exercises, still usedon retreats and by the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits)today. Schedule a retreat, or at least a day ofprayer, and see what changes God has in store foryou.TODAY'S READINGS: Jeremiah 14:17-22;Matthew 13:36-43 (402). “Jesus dismissed thecrowds and went into the house.”Wednesday, Aug 01, 2018MEMORIAL OF ALPHONSUS LIGUORI, BISHOP,Monday, Jul 30, 2018DOCTOR OF THE CHURCHMEMORIAL OF PETER CHRYSOLOGUS, BISHOP,Walk with meDOCTOR OF THE CHURCHAlphonsusSilence is goldenRedemptorists, favored being clear and direct; hisChrysologus (380-451), whose name in Greekmeditations on the Way of the Cross are a goodmeans “golden worded,” kept his homilies shortexample.

TODAY'S READINGS: Jeremiah 15:10, 16-21;Matthew 13:44-46 (403). “The kingdom ofheaven is like a treasure buried in a field.”Saturday, Aug 04, 2018MEMORIAL OF JOHN VIANNEY, PRIESTGod grows up and shows upThursday, Aug 02, 2018MEMORIAL OF EUSEBIUS OF VERCELLI,BISHOPTo the people of the Lord’s hometown, Jesus wasjust a kid who grew up in the neighborhood. Someof them were even offended by his preaching, andtheirlackoffaithpreventedthemfromA fishy lotexperiencing his miracles. John Vianney (1786-Much like the kingdom of heaven as described in1859), on the other hand, was from out of town.today’s gospel, the communion of saints consistsThe people of Ars in France, where he served as aof “fish” of every kind—weak and strong, scholarlypriest for 40 years, accepted him as a holy man,and pious. Saint Eusebius (d. 370) was a fighterand he was able to perform many miracles there. Aabove all else, but his strength was in his words,lesson might be that God is present in both thenot his fists. He argued mightily against the Arianfamiliar and the unfamiliar. We only need to lookheresy (which denied the true divinity of Christ)a little more closely, with eyes of faith.TODAY'S READINGS: Jeremiah 26:11-16, 24;Matthew 14:1-12 (406). “Herod had arrestedJohn, bound him, and put him in prison.”and suffered exile, persecution, and extremedeprivation in the process. Not all of us are calledto be saintly debaters and wordsmiths, but we arecalled to defend the faith in our own holy ways.TODAY'S READINGS: Jeremiah 18:1-6; Matthew13:47-53 (404). “The kingdom of heaven is likea net that was thrown into the sea and caughtfish of every kind.”Friday, Aug 03, 2018Profitable adviceIt’s hard to find a good prophet nowadays. No onewants the job; neither did Isaiah nor Jeremiah. Itusually ends with both message and messengerrejected, sometimes violently. As Jesus remindedhis opponents: “You killed the prophets!” Jesus, bycontrast, embraced his role as prophet, thoughsome of his family and neighbors wondered, “Whodoes he think he is?” We might not considerourselves prophets, but the Second Vatican Councilmakes it clear that the People of God share inChrist’s prophetic office, “especially by means of alife of faith and charity and by offering to God asacrifice of praise.”TODAY'SREADINGS:Jeremiah26:1-9;Matthew 13:54-58 (405). “Speak to the people;whatever I command you, tell them, and omitnothing.”
