...All those people wanted to see and did not see. They wanted to see, and they held on to their own will. Evil resides in the will... Our own will covers our interior eyes like a membrane or a film covers the exterior eye and prevents it from seeing... So long as you stay within your own will, you will be deprived of the joy of seeing with your interior eye. For all true happiness comes from real abandonment, from being detached from our own will. All that is born in the depth of humility... The more a person is small and humble, the less does he have his own will... John Tauler (c.1300-1361), Dominican at Strasbourg Sermon 53

"When we are willing to rise from our failures and from the regions of our spent emotions, we will dare to hope that change is possible. When we refuse to confine ourselves and others to the tomb of despair, then we will realize that nothing is beyond the power of God's love...It is through our long journey through cold darkness and empty desolation that we have found a deeper communion, and in the end, our beginning."

The way to the Promised Land was through the desert, where all they had to eat was manna, manhu, which means “What’s this?” (Ex 16:15). No wonder they sometimes yearned for the good old days of slavery, anything rather than this “What’s this?” But the book of Deuteronomy tells us plainly what was in the Lords mind: before the people could be fit to enter the land of his promise, they must learn that man does not only live my nice safe intelligible bread, but “by whatever proceeds from the mouth of God” (Dt 8:3), received in the only way that it can be received, by faith.
This is always the shape of spiritual progress. We are led out of that kind of order which is built up on sin. That does not necessarily mean a situation of evident outrageous sin, but a situation whose fundamental principle is self-assertion, self-creation, which is therefore sinful at the root, however virtuous its branches may appear.
And one is led out into the desert, into the place of “What’s this?”, the place where we are fed and tended in a way that eludes our comprehension, precisely so that we may learn to live by faith, by trust in the living God. And so learn not to be God ourselves.
The whole world of our creating must be dismantled, so that all the various bits – all of which were, after all, created by God – can be reclaimed by God and built back into his creation, glorified yet further by the incredible new dignity of the new creation, that new order built up on the union of God and man in Christ. Then we come out from behind the bush where Adam fled in hiding, and God will no longer have to ask, Where are you?” We shall be in his world, visible to him, shining in the light of truth!
Father Simon Tugwell, O.P.

Attending to the Reign of God in Our Midst
What shall we not do for the love of such a loving God, so generous that he has called us to follow him so closely and to continue the mission of Jesus on earth? Let us correspond to so great a love. Let us be generous, and remember that the salvation of the world is entrusted to our charity. We can do nothing because we are poor and weak, but let us have a lively faith and trust in him who strengthens us. Let us expand our hearts to help so many souls lying under the yoke of the king of darkness. With the fire of our love, let us break the heavy chains keeping them bound in the terrible service of the devil.
When we see our efforts are unsuccessful, let us throw ourselves at the feet of Jesus. Groaning over the world’s iniquity, let us beg his divine heart to lay bare his infinite treasures of mercy. Then let us return again to our work, without giving in to exhaustion. Hardships must never discourage the spouse of Christ; rather, they should make her stronger and more determined. Do not be dismayed by rejection and mockery. Go forward always, with the serenity and fortitude of angels, because you are the angels of the earth, and so must continue on your way in the midst of so many contrary influences. Everyone can be serene when things run smoothly; it is in difficult situations that fidelity and constancy are proven. Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini

The more a man uses moderation in is life, the more he is at peace, for he is not full of cares for many things - servants, hired laborers, and acquisition of goods. But when we cling to such things, we become liable to vexations arising from them and are led to murmur against God. Thus our self-willed desire for many things fills us with turmoil and we wander into darkeness.

In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry. 2 Timothy 4:1-5

AUGUSTINE writes of PRIDE: "The enemy of our true happiness therefore lies in wait for those of us who by reason of our official positions in human society must of necessity be loved and honored by our fellows. On every side he scatters popular plaudits to trap us, so that as we eagerly collect them we may be caught unawares, and abandon our delight in your truth to look for it instead in human flattery. So the affection and honor we receive come to be something we enjoy not for your sake but in your stead, and in this way that enemy who decided to set up his throne in the far recesses of the north wins cronies in his own likeness, not to live with him in loving concord but to be tormented in his company, slaves in darkness and cold of him who imitates you in his perverse, distorted fashion."

This was the best week I've ever spent. Sister Lucy was so holy and she rubbed some of her holiness on all of us. The boys were very well behaved, and we had a highly productive week. Looking forward to going again this summer.

"...Whoever walks his path of patience and humility comes to Christ through Christ. On this journey, the heat of labor is clearly not wanting, nor the gloom of sorrow, nor the tempests of fear. On it are the treacherery of wicked people, persecutions by the godless, threats from those in power, and insults from the proud. Yet the Lord of Hosts and King of Glory endured all things in the form of our weakness and in the likeness of sinful flesh, so that, among the dangers of this life, we should not so much wish to flee by running away as to overcome by enduring...

This is for the priests of the church(I will not call you "Father" because we have one earthly father and one spiritual father, God). This is the time to teach your congregation about seeking salvation through the Lord, Jesus Christ-that good works is NOT what gets them into heaven, like they think. Also, I think Mary would turn over in her grave if she knew Catholics revelled her like they do(and I can say that, since I was Catholic for almost 37 years!). She would want the attention on her son, Jesus-and not on her. The Bible says that we are to pray directly to the Lord, not to Mary. Also, it says that we are to confess our sin to Christ directly, not to a priest(read New Testament!)

RE: Salvation

My dear friend in Christ,
Jesus was a teacher, rabbi, Abba. So, if we call our priests "Father', it does not in any way diminish either our Earthly father, whom we must respect, nor God our Father, to whom we must devote our life's work, and live by his Word. Our dear Mother, Mary, does not "compete" with her Son for attention, nor is she offended by the focus and devotion to her, as she may intercede on our behalf with her Son, for their shared values of Peace, Love, and Christian Service, to name a few. Thank you for your words regarding the New Testament and the offering of prayer and confession directly to the Lord. As Catholics, we offer prayer and confession directly to Christ each week in Mass, and perhaps daily, in our own prayer, I know I do. When I seek a priests counsel, it is to recieve the gift of Reconciliation, that is, to speak my sins to another human being whom I can trust, to "own" my sins to another, and to reconcile myself to the past, and embrace the future in Christ. Certainly I can do this directly to the Lord, but why would I miss the opportunity to do so in the loving presence of another, anointed and promised to serve me in His name. I have, in my lifetime, been transformed during just such an encounter with a priest. I wish the same for you, my friend, I welcome you back.

I desire mercy, not sacrifice, I did not come to call the righteous but sinners. (Matthew 9:13)
"...An overly formalistic approach to religion draws us away from God and makes the ritual into our god rather than the one whom the ritual is meant to honor. If we believe that we are righteous, we leave no place for salvation and mercy. Let us rather boast in nothing but the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ..." (cf. Gal 6:14) The Maginficat, Sunday, July 8, 2007 page 111.
