Our divine Redeemer, who came down from heaven, was continually active in the work of the salvation of men by constant preaching and by journeyings up and down the land of Palestine in search of poor, miserable sinners to bring them hack to God. He healed them all, for " the power of the Lord was to heal them."

Among the many parables given by Our Lord, let us meditate on the one of today's Gospel. One day Our Lord was in a boat and had Himself brought across the lake of Genasareth to His own city Capharnaum. They called Capharnaum His city, because He made His home there in the house of Simon, when He was in the vicinity. He had left Nazareth long before, and seldom went back to the place. No man is a prophet in his own country, and the inhabitants of Nazareth were incredulous, and used to ask, "Is not this the carpenter's Son? Whence, therefore, hath He all these things?"
Capharnaum was quite a large city, situated at the head of Lake Genasareth; there was, in a small way, considerable inland commerce and fishing there and the people seemed more approachable than at other places. When they heard that Jesus had come a great crowd ran to the house where He was, filled it, and even blockaded the approaches to it. It was with difficulty that a poor cripple, a man who had lost the use of all his limbs, was brought there. As it was not possible to get in by the door, the man's friend climbed to the roof and making a hole in it, they lowered the sick man into Our Lord's presence. The kindness of those who assisted in this act was certainly very great, for a great deal of labor was required. Our Lord Himself was pleased with this exhibition of faith, and at once took notice of the sick man who was laid before Him. Great was the charity that these men exhibited when they undertook to bring the paralytic to Our Lord. But Our Lord did not consider the body at first; He thought of the soul, and began by forgiving the man's sins. When we are sick, all sorts of advice is offered to us, and the doctor is at once sent for; this is as it should be. My young friends, when you hear that one of your relatives is sick you ought to show an interest in him and do what you can for him; when your friends and companions fall sick, show by your sympathetic manner that you feel an interest in their welfare and in their health; you are thus practising one of the works of mercy, which is very important. Nothing is more beautiful than to see young people helping their companions, and faithfully remaining at their side until the sick ones are cured, or until death comes; parents and relatives will willingly yield their places to them, for they know how affectionate young people can be to one another. But you ought to help particularly, when you find that your friend is sick unto death in sin; then you ought not delay trying to revive him. Go out and find those who do not hear Mass, who will not go to confession, and talk to them, that you may gain them. This is an acceptable gift to God, and He will reward you accordingly. Our Lord did not cure the poor man that was brought to Him at once. God has His time for everything. When we pray we often think that our prayer is not heard because we do not see a miracle wrought at once, but God's time is according to God's wisdom for our own good.

Our Lord said to the sick man, "Have confidence: thy sins are forgiven thee." Why did He wish first to forgive his sins and then to cure him of his bodily ills? Because sin is the great evil, in fact, is the only evil in the world, and sickness is only a consequence. If we say all miseries, sickness, death, and starvation are nothing, who will believe us? In fact most people in this world will not understand this; they take no account of sin; these people do not want to know that their own poverty and wickedness and that of millions of others are the result of sin. In Deuteronomy the Scripture says that " The Lord will strike thee with want, fever, and cold, on account of thy infidelity." You see that God deals out punishment and reward, even here on this earth, though we do not see it. Let us look at the happenings of the world not like an atheist, but like one who believes that God holds the world in His hands, and regulates its events according to His supreme will. Here is a young man who has fallen into a very serious sickness. His friends say he caught cold, or did not take care of himself that he was careless or neglectful; often, were they to look below the surface, they would find more than carelessness or neglect they would find that his illness was but the consequence of his sins. Much of the poverty and evil on this earth could be avoided did people lead better lives, and try to conform themselves to the teachings of Our Lord and Saviour; to avoid temptations, or to have recourse to fervent prayer when temptations do come. We know, of course, that God often afflicts those He loves best with many physical ills ^but if He does He gives reward a hundredfold in the end; and gives them, too, a patient endurance and resignation under all their sufferings. However, the fact remains that most of the troubles in this world come from sin, and since this is a fact we ought to learn to avoid sin, fear it, abhor it, and let it never become our master.

The Scribes who heard Jesus say "Son, thy sins are forgiven thee," immediately cried out, "He blasphemeth; who can forgive sin but God only?" Jesus was God, and to prove it He said, "Which is easier to say to the sick of the palsy, thy sins are forgiven thee, or say. Arise, take up thy bed and walk?"  You will say, that to man both are equally impossible, that God alone can do this. To prove to them, then, that He was God and could forgive sins. He commanded the sick man to arise and walk. No sooner had Our Lord pronounced these words than the man not only arose and left the bed he had not stirred from in a long time, but was able to remove the bed from the house to which he had been carried. The people who had witnessed this miracle praised God for the power He possessed of forgiving sins and of healing so hopeless a case. The Pharisees looked on in stupid wonder, but did not accept the grace of conversion. Here we have a picture of many Christians and of many young men who hear of the wonders of God, but continue in their wicked lives, and remain obstinate unbelievers.

Nothing that God may do seems to move them. My good young friends, you certainly know from your early education that God has given you the great Sacrament of Penance, for the forgiveness of sins, to help you to get to heaven. Baptism is great indeed, because it makes us children of God; but it is also necessary that there should be another sacrament which, when Baptism has been once received will again cleanse us and supply again and again the necessary grace to become friends of God. Great indeed was the mercy of God when He instituted the Sacrament of Penance. But does the sinner avail himself of this means of grace? Many abuse it, and use it rather as an encouragement to crime. "I will go on in my manner of life" says the sinner, "and when I have a great deal to confess, I will unburden myself." He will wait until a large mimber is preparing for the sacrament and then he hopes to get through easily; he thinks that this sacrament can be received at any time; "when the opportunity presents itself I will go." he says. Will you,my dear young man, take poison because you have at hand an antidote for it? Will you carelessly inflict a deadly wound on your body because a doctor can be procured at any time? How insane would such an act be! Still there are many of this foolish class. Not only are there many who abuse the graces of this sacrament by an unworthy reception of it, but a number have not the proper disposition for receiving it. You ought to examine your conscience before going to confession. Do you review your life since your last confession so as to place your duties before you? And if you have your sins ready in your mind, do you accuse yourself with real sorrow, or do you only say an act of contrition by word of mouth? You surely know that it is not the mere recital of your sins which is the great requirement in the sacrament of confession; you know that without sorrow there is no forgiveness. It includes also a resolution of future amendment. You go to confession not only to receive the forgiveness of past sins, but you must see to it that you lead a better life in the future. I will say nothing of those who avoid the confessional as they would a pest. These are like people in a shipwreck, who would not grasp at a plank by which they might keep afloat and be saved. They evidently wish to be damned and to go to hell. Take this lesson on confession to heart; use it for your salvation and if you should fall into sin, you can turn to God again. He will receive you with open arms, as He received the prodigal son: "The son that was lost is found again." Go to the minister of God's justice, the priest, with sorrow; tell him your frailties, bewail them with bitterness, resolve that in the future you will avoid all occasions of sin, and watch over your passions carefully in order that you may not fall. And these consoling words will sink deep into your soul, "Have confidence, my son, thy sins are forgiven thee; go in peace."

17th Sunday after Pentecost -                                    The Love of God and Our Neighbor

10/5/2014

The good people that surrounded Our Lord when He was preaching blessed Him for His admirable doctrines, and for the wisdom of His answers. Not so the Pharisees; they followed Him to ask Him questions, that they might entrap Him, and use His words against Him. For that reason they came to Him "tempting Him." One of these hypocritical Pharisees, a doctor of the law, put this question to Our Lord,

"Master, which is the great commandment in the law?"
 
Our Lord saw through the duplicity of this man, who did not desire instruction, hut sought rather to hring confusion on the Master. He did not deserve an answer, on the contrary he should have received a rebuke. But the honor of Our Lord's heavenly Father was at stake, and the crowd was eager to learn: so Christ answered first, and afterwards rebuked him.

We, my dear young people, can draw a lesson from this manner of acting: that as Christ did, we also should do. We should learn meekness of speech. How do we answer those who question us? Often in our impatience and disrespect for others, we burst into unkind words and threats. To our superiors we are often cold and disdainful, making our instruction and correction difficult and distasteful to them.

Ah, my dear young friends, always answer kindly; be charitable and polite, be Christians and close followers of the Redeemer. " Be ye kind one to another. Cassian relates that there lived in Alexandria a holy old man surrounded by many infidels who spoke injurious things of him, but he stood all their abuse with an unmoved heart.

"What miracles did Jesus Christ perform?" they asked. "Ah" he replied,

"He has done one miracle that you can see with your own eyes. I do not resent the injuries inflicted on me. He has given me the grace to bear with patience all your persecutions. This is a great miracle, a great and sublime perfection, which I have attained by the intervention of Christ." Let us now come to the sweet answer which the Lord gave:

"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul and with thy whole mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment."  My dear young friends, have you ever thought of this great precept: to love God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind? Our Lord calls the heart, soul, and mind into the work of love, and not without reason. Love God with your whole heart, be generous and fervent in your love.

"My son, give Me thy heart." Have you given your heart with all its affections to God? Ah, who knows but you have given your heart to the world, to vice, and to the devil! How many there are who in their childhood give their hearts to God, but as they grow up, they give them to sin. You were good in your tender years, pious, affectionate and loving; but in course of time you have taken back this sacred gift to give it to the devil. What is it to love God with all your soul? Your soul is a pure, intelligent spirit, that has the power of clinging to God so entirely that nothing should interfere with that intercourse. You should also love Him with all your mind. All your thoughts should be centered on God alone; your will should be so directed as to make you think of God and to love Him. All the powers of your mind should be stirred up to do that for which you were created; your whole body, your eyes, ears, mouth, feet and hands, should be active in the love of God. All your desires should be wakened to love Him; if you eat, do it for the love of God; if you enjoy the things of this world, rejoice in the Lord; if you fear, fear God for His justice; if you are sad, bewail your sins and the sins of 'others. This is the way to love God, and if you do this your soul will be filled with the peace and happiness of heaven. So great will this happiness be, that with St. Ephrem you will cry out, "Lord, retire a little; my frail condition cannot endure this love." And with St. Francis Xavier, "Lord, it is enough!" Why do you and why did the saints feel such a joy? Because it is a foretaste of the joys of heaven. God is not loved without a reward, says St. Bernard: all this delight is given you as a reward in this vale of tears.

My dear young friends, let not the false splendor of the good things of this world interfere with your love for God You know that these splendors are false and that they cannot satisfy nor content your heart; despise them then as the saints did. We read the following of St. Clement: Diocletian, a great and bitter enemy of the faith, caused St. Clement to be brought before him; heaps of money, vases of gold, and magnificent robes were brought in and placed on one side; while an the other side were chains, manacles, and instruments of torture. Then Diocletian said to the saint:

"If you deny Christ, all this wealth is yours, besides many honors and rich offices that are in the gift of an emperor as great as I am. But if you persist in the worship of Christ, these instruments of torture and of death will be used on you without mercy. Think and choose." Did the saint hesitate for a moment? No; he cast an eye of supreme contempt on the tyrant and his treasures, and turning from them, said, in the words of the Apostle, that neither height nor depth, that is, neither good nor evil, should ever draw him from the love that he owed to Jesus Christ. Was not this an heroic example of the love of Jesus?

But to this precept of the whole-souled love of God, we must also join the love of our neighbor; a precept, as Our Lord calls it, very like the first. "The second is like to this: thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." Love of yourself is presented to you as the rule by which you may be directed in the love of your neighbor. It is not likely that you will consider you have given in too much to your self-love. We are composed of body and soul, therefore we must love our neighbor in body and soul. Regarding the body, you must do him no injury, not even in wish; help him in all his necessities; console him in all his afflictions; sacrifice yourself for him; in other words, forget yourself in the service of your fellow-man. But more important than the body is the soul. What must you do for your neighbor in regard to his soul? Always give him good example; gently correct him when he needs it; lead him away from bad associates; draw him to church and to the sacraments. Pray for the wicked in all your supplications to God. You can do more to convert your neighbor than a priest can with his sermons; you can bring personal influence to bear on him. The priest may preach himself hoarse and tired; you have the heart of your friend in your hands and can mould it; if not at once, at least by degrees. Besides, as St. James says, "The continual prayer of a just man availeth much" St. Francis of Assisi did not think he loved God unless he proved it by bringing souls to Him. St. Ignatius Loyola said that if he had one foot in heaven he would come back if he saw an opportunity of saving one soul. The Cure d^Ars said after his communion, "How many souls would I gain for God if I were a priest!" St. Catharine of Sienna declared that she would throw herself at the devil, and struggle with him for the possession of a soul to bring it to God. She was a poor, weak Sister, and yet how many souls did she not save for God. How did she do it? Was it by eloquence and by learning? No; she did it by the great hatred she had  for sin, and by the great love she had for sinners. With the same dispositions you can do as much as she did. You have not eloquence nor the opportunity to use it if you had it, but you can have this hatred for sin, you can have love for the sinner, you can help the grace of Jesus Christ to become operative in the hearts of your neighbor.
"We are the helpers of God," says St. Paul. Pray fervently to Our Lord and to the Blessed Virgin, and they will give you victory over the most obstinate cases. Let me give you an example showing how you may use your influence on your friends and relations. A little girl, nine years old, seeing that her father refused the sacraments on his death-bed, was full of sorrow and concern.

Being left alone with the dying man she conceived a happy
thought. She went into the room and took her place near
his pillow. The father noticed her and said,
" What are
you doing, my dear? " ^'
Father," she answered,
"
I want to
bid you an eternal farewell. I shall not see you again in this
world, and, certainly, not in the next. They tell me you are
going to die, and you cannot go to heaven, because you refuse
to go to confession and you will be damned. How unhappy
I am! I shall never again see my father whom I love
so much!" The dying man could no longer restrain his
tears.
"
Console yourself, my dear, I want to go to confession." He lived for some time after the occurrence, and to
all that visited him he related how he owed his conversion to
his little daughter.

                                  The Cross

10/3/2014

We attach great value to relics of the holy cross…but there is a cross

which is better than these particles most venerable though they

are…it is everything we meet with in this life which annoys and is

opposed to us. The pagan or the philosopher sees in these things

only effects springing from natural causes; but the Christian, who

is enlightened by faith, sees in them the hand of God, who disposes,

ordains, or permits everything for our greater good, to render us

like to His divine Son, Whose whole life was nothing but a cross

and a martyrdom; to form us to the solid virtues of patience, of

resignation, and of humility; lastly, to make us acquire more

honor and glory in eternity. Now all trials, looked at in this light,

are the true crosses which Jesus Christ recommends to us, holy

crosses, precious crosses which are found everywhere. Sometimes

we find them in our bodies: they are sufferings and infirmities, cold

and heat: sometimes we find them in our hearts: they are the death

of someone who is near and dear to us, a reverse of fortune which

obliges us to descend from the rank we occupy; they are the

association with difficult and disagreeable characters; they are the

thousand desires we cannot satisfy, the thousand unpleasant

circumstances we meet with. Here we find them outside ourselves:

they are a humiliation which is inflicted on us, a want of consideration,

the preference of another to ourselves, a calumny or a raillery of

which we are the object; they are persecutions coming to us from

persons who do not bear good will toward us, who do not understand

us, who hate us and seek to do us evil. There again we find them within

us: they are temptations, scruples, doubts which fatigue us, sometimes

even pure imagination; we fancy things that do not exist in reality, and

we turn them into cruel trials. “In a word,” says the author of the Imitation,

“the cross is everywhere, you cannot escape it, above you and below you,

outside you and inside you, you will everywhere find the cross” (II. Imit. Xii. 4).

Happy he who receives it and bears it as he ought, “looking on Jesus, the author

and finisher of faith, Who having joy set before Him endured the cross”

(Heb. Xii. 2).

We ought to love our personal crosses, because the cross of Jesus has raised

them to the distinguished honor of being the most efficacious means of

perfection, and the warrant of our eternal hopes. Patience, which endures the

cross, says St. James, is perfection, and solid perfection, because it has been

proved in the crucible (James i. 4). For a moment of light suffering, an immense

weight of glory (2 Cor. Iv. 17); after trial, the crown of life (James i. 12). It is one

of the Beatitudes proclaimed by Jesus Christ: “Blessed are they that suffer”

(Matt. v. 10) It is a special grace which God sends to His best friends; it places

them on the royal road to heaven. Therefore the Gospel says, Receive crosses

not only with patience but with gladness (Matt. v. 12). “With Christ I am nailed

to the cross” (Gal. ii. 19). Let us make the resolution first, to address frequently

fervent aspirations of love to Jesus suffering and dying for us; secondly, to perform

 all our actions from a motive of love for Him, and to give, with this

object in view, all the perfection of which we are capable to these actions. “Christ

 died  for all; that they who live may not now live to themselves, but unto Him Who died

for them and rose again.” (2 Cor. V. 15).
