March is the month of St. Joseph.

Papal Intentions for March 2013

Respect for Nature. That respect for nature may grow with the awareness that all creation is God's work entrusted to human responsibility.

Clergy. That bishops, priests, and deacons may be tireless messengers of the Gospel to the ends of the earth.

First Friday of the month--the Sacred Heart 
Gn 37: 3-28
Mt 21: 33-46

INTENTION OF THE MONTH

That the President and new Administration may respect the freedom of religion, especially for Catholics.

From Father Tom: The bad thing is that our freedom may be violated.  The good thing is that we will have to decide what we really believe and act accordingly.

Jer 17: 5-10
Lk 16: 19-31

If a person has the will , he can make himself a saint.  But he truly must have the will (BM 223).

From Father Tom: True.  But without the help of God, the human will is quite unable to sustain the lifelong struggle against the world, the flesh and the devil. So the only remedy is begin today as if we had done nothing up to this and continue as long as we can.

LENTEN WEEKDAY
Jer 18: 18-20
Mt 20: 17-28

Proud souls do not feel the need for God’s word—full of themselves they lack the Divine Presence (RSP).

From Father Tom: We might then ask, what “Presence” they do have and the answer is horribly easy:  Satan has taken over a large slice of humanity—including quite a few Catholics.

LENTEN WEEKDAY
Is 1: 10, 16-20
Mt 23: 1-12

All Christians should manifest their joy, a joy coming from the presence of God among them (RSP 306).

From Father Tom: Talking of "Joy" in the times we live in is not likely to elicit a chorus of approval--rather the raised eyebrow and the rather pitying look.  Very well.  If not joy, then at least let us have a strong confidence--we HFI people.  We were CHOSEN. We are DIFFERENT!

Dn 9: 4-10
Lk 6: 36-38

Providence watches over the innocent and righteous of heart and guides them through mysterious ways during their mission on earth (BM 378).

From Father Tom: Hopefully we can list ourselves among these lucky people.  So things are never as bad as they seem. WE may have got lost and see no hope of picking ourselves up again; HE has it all planned for our maximum benefit.

SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT
Gn 15: 5-18
Phil 3: 17-41
Lk: 9: 28-36

Love for Jesus consists in conformity to His will, in true fervor in virtue, in living and practicing faith. Just taking about loving Him is not enough (M. 347).

From Father Tom: Which is a consoling reaching as very often we have to serve the Lord while experiencing incessant pain or very adverse circumstances. Jesus, after all, showwed the maximum love on Calvary.

Dt 26: 16-19
Mt. 3: 43-48

Religious duties apply to all the members of the house: parents and children. Fulfilling them all together is very highly educative, attracts the blessings of God and brings great peace (BM 552).

From Father Tom:  True.  The problem today is to find a certain number of families where these conditions are fulfilled.  Let's begin with ours!

CHAIR OF ST PETER, APOSTLE
1 Pt 5: 1-4
Mt 16: 13-19

In his lifetime Peter had not much use for chairs--like Paul he was constantly on the go!  Nor was he educated like our Patron.  But Jesus chose him and that made all the difference.  You also have been chosen do you realize this?  Huge numbers have heard of the Institute, but only you were specially selected.

Est C 12: 14-16, 23-25
Mt 7: 7-12

Blindness of the mind and hardness of heart are the greatest humiliations (RSP 419).

From Father Tom: Especially when we are confronted with the truth...how difficult it is to say we were wrong!  And some unfortunates may even have gone to their graves and an uncertain eternity rather than admit their errors.

When your objectives are souls and the glory of God, you will find ways and means of drawing them, enlightening them, and doing them the greatest good:  the gift of truth (SP, January 1954).

From Father Tom: And what a gift truth is!  How many agonizing hours all of us pass as we torment ourselves over falsehoods or even take false action which then we cannot change.

Is 55: 10-11
Mt 6: 7-15

It was said of Jesus: "No man has ever spoken as this man has."  Every apostle must first study if he wants to teach (BM 325).

From Father Tom: Study is not out of the question for us--the more we know, the more we can help others.  But first study of our own lives words and actions.  What sort of "message" do we normally give?

Mt 28: 31-46

In tribulations the righteous person leans on God and when he has to make a sacrifice, makes it willingly because he is not making it in vain (R.S.P. 215)

From Father Tom: One would imagine that everybody knows that sacrifices made in this context are not in vain but it is one thing to know and quite another to believe.

FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT
Dt 26: 4-10
Rom 10: 8-13
Lk 4: 1-13

Charity is a theological (= God oriented) virtue.  Through it we love God above all things and for Himself, and our neighbor for love Him (BM p. 23)

From Father Tom: Charity in this sense is rather rare, i.e. the ability to put God first whenever there is a choice: go to church/watch tv; be kind to someone you know dislikes you; refuse to pass on juicy gossip; etc.  We can all do this occasionally but to do it always...

Is 58: 9-14
Lk 5: 27-32

It's a horrible thing to be against God, inestimable good to be with Him.  God's invitations hardens obstinate hearts but lets good hearts break into tears of sorrow and love (BM p. 582).

From Father Tom: Perhaps ore than obstinate, too many hearts today are simply obtuse. They are concerned with neither good nor evil, but simply with the loss of big incomes and their current financial limitations. Satan never had it so good.

Mt 9: 14-15

Jesus instituted the Sacrament of Reconciliation so that at all times all men may find in his heart the ocean of mercy. (BM  p. 333).

From Father Tom: The great problem in our time is the disappearance of a sense of sin and any feeling that there is anything to confess.  And thousands are dying in that very dangerous condition.

Dt 30: 15-20
Lk 9: 22-25

God is goodness, charity and mercy. He loved us so much that He gave His only Son to suffer and save us (BM 501).

From Father Tom: Some theologians say that the Son would have become human if we had not sinned... God can never do enough to lower Himself to our level.

Jl 2: 12-18
2 Cor 5: 20-6: 1-6, 16-18

Works that satisfy are especially almsgiving, fasting and prayer--they suppress our three basic cravings: avarice, sensuality and pride (BM 457).

From Father Tom: But each of us has to choose which area to concentrate on.  Perhaps it's none of the above and we require e.g. more courage in "evangelizing", or better understanding of our vocation?

God's invitations harden obstinate hearts but let good hearts break into tears of sorrow and love (BM 582).

Gn 1:1-9
Mk 6: 53-56

Mary has the wisdom to know our needs, the goodness that is moved by our miseries, the power to intercede for us and to help us (BM 394).

From Father Tom: How is our Marian devotion?  Rosary once a day and Angelus three times?  The one on rising in the morning is, naturally, the most difficult, but for that reason, most pleasing to her who knew all about early rising.

WORLD MARRIAGE DAY

A sweet thing is pardon. It brings peace to our souls and causes a serene trust in the paternal goodness of God (BM 655).

From Father Tom: And especially it brings peace to married life. Marriage is a very difficult vocation--and it is a vocation, not just something that happens to the couple. Never more than today do we need pardon and peace in marriage.

Heb 13: 15-21
Mk 6: 30-34

Pride is the most tenacious of our passions and resists every effort to curb it.  Only the grace of God can give us some calm.

From Father Tom: It is also subtle: "I don't want to boast, but..." followed by (innocent) boasting!  Or the opposite:  "I think you should take my advice..." (why?)

The Sacrament of Reconciliation was instituted by Jesus to give all of us all through life access to His boundless mercy (BM 333).

First Thursday of the month--the Guardian Angel

I shall not contrast the goodness of God and human malice and shall ask pardon for the many sins that have contributed to His Passion.

From Father Tom: Interesting concept: console the heart of Jesus for others' sins, not just ours. The field of apostolate here is IMMENSE!  "Divine Master, I offer this pain for some sinner."

"He who is first among you shall be your servant".  True also for one in authority for authority is service.

Sanctity is virtue on a grand scale.  It is the upward drive and the beauty of goodness(SP Sep. 1954).
