The love I bear Christ is but a faint and feeble spark, but it is an emanation from Himself: He kindled it and He keeps it alive; and because it is His work, I trust many waters shall not quench it. 

- John Newton (1725-1807)

FRIDAY 9th November 2018

Today is the Feast of The Dedication of The Lateran Basilica 

The Lateran Basilica was built by the Emperor Constantine on the Lateran Hill in Rome in about 324. The feast of its dedication has been celebrated in Rome on this date since the twelfth century. In honour of the basilica, “the mother and head of all the churches of the City and the World,” the feast has been extended to the whole Roman Rite as a sign of unity and love towards the See of Peter, which, as St Ignatius of Antioch said in the second century, “presides over the whole assembly of charity.”

 

November is dedicated  to  The Souls in Purgatory

Fridays are dedicated to The Passion of Jesus and His Most Sacred Heart

Origin and meaning of

The Feast of The Dedication of The Lateran Basilica

https://www.catholicculture.org/culture/liturgicalyear/calendar/day.cfm?date=2014-11-09

 

Today The Universal Church on earth is gathered literally or in spirit in The Lateran Basilica  “mother and head of all the churches of the city and the world.”   We pray for The Holy Father and for the Universal Church for Truth and Peace, for Love and Unity.

Come Holy Spirit and fill the hearts of all the faithful, please kindle in us the Fire of Divine Love, then send forth Your Spirit and You will be created and You will renew the face of the earth.

"On this solemnity the Word of God recalls an essential truth: the temple of stones is a symbol of the living Church, the Christian community, which in their letters the Apostles Peter and Paul already understood as a “spiritual edifice,” built by God with “living stones,” namely, Christians themselves, upon the one foundation of Jesus Christ, who is called the “cornerstone” (cf. 1 Corinthians 3:9-11, 16-17; 1 Peter 2:4-8; Ephesians 2:20-22). “Brothers, you are God’s building,” St. Paul wrote, and added: “holy is God’s temple, which you are” (1 Corinthians 3:9c, 17)."

SIMPLICITY
Does your family have all that you really need today? If so, then
don't put your heart on hold till you can swing a below-ground
swimming pool. That's exactly why inordinate desires can be so
harmful: they DO put our hearts on hold, they take us out of the
contented present and force us to live in an uncertain future
of "when" and "if".

That future is not real. We might never live to see it. We have no
way of knowing whether or not we will live till lunch today. The present is
all we have and anything that distracts our view from it is often a complete
waste of time. Living in the now is a great reality check!

I always hate discussions of simplicity that are so general that they
leave people thinking: "Well, great, but how do I DO that?" Hence a
few suggestions, not at all as norms, but just as ideas.


Clothes. Almost everyone can make do with less, male or female.
Before I became a monk, I generally had two pairs of slacks- one
khaki and one navy blue. They looked preppy. They went with
everything. Yes, after a while, people did notice I was always in one
or the other, but so what? The shirts were different and I was clean.
I got shirts came from the thrift shop: years of wear in good
clothes for less than $5 a pop, less than $2 a pop if one waited till
sale day.

Recycle in your own home. Towels go down from the bath, to the
kitchen, to rags. With all the rags you will soon accumulate living
this way, you can say goodbye to paper towels, unless there is some
reason you really need them. Cloth napkins? Wow! They even seem a bit
upscale and you can stop buying one-use paper. Trust me, ordinarily
washing them once a week is fine.

This is not stinge, folks. Insofar as possible, consume stuff that is
really good for you, avoid stuff that is wasteful or harmful. We
become immune to the very high levels that our society actually
encourages waste, almost demands it.

By the way, you don't do this because it will end over-consumption.
It won't.  What it does, and this is important, is limit your complicity inthe nonsense. That, so long as one does not become self-righteous, canbe an immensely freeing thing.

Always remember that modern consumerism thrives on and
insists that we ALWAYS feel something is lacking. Not so, we can be
free of that. Why be lied to any more?

Love and prayers,
Jerome, OSB

I have repeated the above video deliberately - it is not a mistake.  The only problem is that I had not intended it to be merged with the Sunday Liturgy posts.

I have often read in Catholic Discussion forums that members are unable to find a spiritual director or even a close friend to whom to open up.  I was like that for 20 years.  I used to talk to Jesus openly and honestly asking Him to help me to be truly open and honest about myself and not deceived.  I also would pray for a spiritual director.  Since then I have had two spiritual directors, one a religious sister and the other a priest and religious, both of whom helped me in meaningful ways.  And I still talk openly and honestly with Jesus and ask Him to help me to be truly open and honest about myself.

 

 

 

 

I have never looked back about Thomas Merton since the day probably over 30 years or so ago when I first read "The Seven Storey Mountain" by Thomas Merton.  Possibly in the later years of his life, Thomas drifted a bit but it is said that he remained a man and priest of prayer celebrating Mass daily.  But some of his thinking was a bit off.   Never throw the baby out with the bathwater...........we are all a mixture of sinner and saint and our sinful self may never be known by others......others still (destined for fame perhaps especially) might have their sinner side well known....... and even sometimes misinterpreted, exaggerated etc.
