Para resolver lo insoluble, el remedio es claro: acudir a Santa María. Eso hizo san Josemaría al venir a Guadalupe. Busquemos también nosotros el refugio del regazo de María, que en las apariciones de 1521 quiso mostrarse como Madre amantísima. Cualquier existencia que no sea la de una perfecta unión con Dios en el regazo de María, es demasiado complicada.

In the middle of a violent storm, the apostles find Jesus asleep in the boat.  This divine sleep of the Son of God teaches us important lessons: the need for rest, the importance of trust in God during difficulties, and the great care that God our Father exercises over us.  Only by trusting in God&apos;s power and fatherly protection in and through times of trial will we experience our own resurrection to new life.  Only by trusting when times are hard do we come to really believe that God is our Father. <a href='https://comeawaybyyourselves.com/'>https://comeawaybyyourselves.com</a>

Rebroadcast: Lessons From Jesus Asleep

En la memoria litúrgica de san Francisco de Asís meditamos sobre la virtud cristiana de la pobreza. El santo de Asís se desposó con la señora pobreza, y logró la renovación de la Iglesia en épocas de gran materialismo y corrupción. Que la pobreza también se “enseñoree” de nosotros, para que colaboremos con la santidad de la Iglesia.

Long Distance Relationship, Narcissistic Husband and other Marriage Issues

La vida de todo hombre es un camino, pero para el sacerdote este camino está lleno de sorpresas, ya que se ha entregado a la Iglesia. En las pruebas de la vida, también cuando se advierten faltas de fidelidad, es muy oportuno encender la virtud de la esperanza. Pensar en el Cielo y advertir que, de seguir el plan de Dios, ese Cielo es suyo. Como el romero, mantener la mirada en la lejanía, el oído atento y el paso ligero.

Advent: Waiting with Impatient Patience

04-07-25 Mercy hotspot (EA)

De la vida de san Ignacio de Loyola aprendemos a prepararnos concienzudamente para la Misa. De la vida de san Juan de Ávila, la relevancia que da el santo a una sola Misa. De san Alfonso María de Ligorio, la importancia del recogimiento luego de comulgar, pues tenemos los labios teñidos con la Sangre de Cristo. Del Cura de Ars, la seguridad de estar en el Paraíso durante la celebración.

09-05-25 Embracing Christ (DOH)

In this meditation for the Third Sunday of Advent, Gaudete Sunday, Fr Javier del Castillo reflects on the profound meaning of this passage from St Paul - “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice” (Philippians 4:4). “We ought to rejoice. This is something really important, absolutely necessary, to rejoice in the Lord always because the Lord is near.&quot; &quot;This presence of the Lord is the cause of our joy because it makes us joyful and makes us happy… not only when things are going well… always, no matter what… and then we can radiate our cheerfulness to others… doesn’t matter what’s happening on the outside… what matters is that we be close to our Lord. And only insofar as we let our Lord be close to us can we be truly joyful, cheerful, and can we radiate cheerfulness to others.” To have this joy and cheerfulness starting this Advent and Christmas we can follow three steps: 1. Prayer 2. Forgiveness 3. Service (Jesus, others and then yourself) THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

Gaudete Sunday

Preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai at Lyncroft Centre: St. Josemaria wrote in the The Way 301 about what he described as that little group of men or a handful of women in the midst of a world crisis. They had a readiness to fight, a deep desire to be saints, and a willingness to fight. He used military imagery.
A secret, an open secret: these world crises are crises of saints.
God wants a handful of men 'of his own' in every human activity. And then... 'pax Christi in regno Christi — the peace of Christ in the kingdom of Christ'.
Music: Composed by Chiquinha Gonzaga, Lua Branca, arranged of guitar by Bert Alink.

A Crisis of Saints

11-07-24 Shake the Dust (EN)

A meditation preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai to High School boys at Ernescliff College in Toronto on Oct 22, 2022.
On that day, Oct 22, 1978, facing the vast crowd in the square, and beyond, in the whole world, John Paul II said:
Today the new Bishop of Rome solemnly begins his ministry and the mission of Peter. In this city, in fact, Peter completed and fulfilled the mission entrusted to him by the Lord.
The Lord addressed him with these words: "...when you were young you put on your own belt and walked where you liked; but when you grow old you will stretch out your hands and somebody else will put a belt round you and take you where you would rather not go" (Jn 21:18).
Peter came to Rome!
He talked about the Quo Vadis account, from the famous &nbsp;19th century novel, by Henryk Sienkiewicz. Pope John Paul II could be seen laughing hysterically, or deeply in prayer. What an example of faith.
Music: Mossy garden by Bert Alink.

I Love Pope John Paul II

Lent is a time of self-denial.  The higher, better part of ourselves strives to deny and to master our lower nature.  This interior struggle is a necessary condition for Christian life.  In emptying ourselves out, especially of our pride, we invite God to enter in. <a href='https://comeawaybyyourselves.com'>https://comeawaybyyourselves.com</a>
