    Can we Give Away Our Preferences? - The Memorial of St. Martin de Porres

    One of the most generous gifts we could give away is our personal preference of who deserves our generosity. It is possible to give generously of our time, talent, and treasure, and still be giving only to fill ourselves rather than others. Our Lord teaches us by his example that perfect love of God and neighbor involves an emptying of oneself for another, even to the point of slavery, even to the point of death. St. Martin de Porres became a saint be choosing to live as a slave of Christ and a slave for his suffering brothers and sisters. Our invitation is to give God the gift of our generosity, and live the adventure of letting him decide to whom it belongs.

    Could I Live as a Saint? - Solemnity of All Saints

    Could I live as a saint? Before his life took a decisive turn, St. Ignatius of Loyola wanted to be somebody. He dreamed of glory in battle, love of women, admiration of all. When we was wounded and confined to a bed to recover, be read the lives of the saints and noticed how he was starting to dream new dreams about his life. He asked himself the question that changed his life forever, "Could I live as a saint?" The answer was, "Yes!", with God's grace. Today we celebrate All Saints. We worship God for the gift of grace he has given the world, given us, through the lives of every single saint in Heaven. We also ask God for the gift of our conversion like that of St. Ignatius. We are all called to be saints, and to dream about our lives as saints of Jesus Christ with the hope of Heaven to live with all the saints forever.

    Our Eyes on the Lord, Our Hands on His Work - Tuesday of the 30th Week in Ordinary Time

    The Kingdom of God is at hand. Are we waiting for the Kingdom, or working for the Kingdom? Both! If we wait on the Kingdom only, we look around at the Church and the world and simply comment or complain. If we work only we busy ourselves doing many good things that the Lord never actually asked us to do, giving ourselves a Savior complex. Our Lord teaches us that the Kingdom is at hand such that He is here, and we can follow Him each day, waiting on him and getting to work in the way he asks us to. What we need is repentance, a change of mind, to give our attention to Him. The most ordinary daily experience of this is in the household we are in. Ordinary hierarchy is how the Church continues to wait on the Lord. The order of a house, with the Husband as the head of his wife, is not just a patriarchal notion, it is how the Kingdom of God enters the home. A tiny seed of faithfulness to God can grow into a large tree in which others can also find the Kingdom. The tiny impact we can have on the world around us can cause the world to rise to God rather than descend into darkness. Where can I catch myself simply waiting for the Kingdom, its usually where I am complaining or commenting on how the Church or the world needs to change. Where am I busying myself without being asked, not listening? The Lord is inviting us to spread his Kingdom in the world, not our own. He is speaking to us each day in order to bring about the completion of the Kingdom on earth, Thy Kingdom Come. The Kingdom of God is at hand, let us keep our eyes and ears on the Lord, and our hands on His work he has entrusted to us, until the full coming of that Kingdom where he lives and reigns forever and ever.

    The School of the Cross - The Memorial of St. Paul of the Cross

    The Cross is a school. It is here that our affections, desires, and will are trained to cling to God alone. Our Lord promises many graces to those who are vigilant in contemplating His Sacred Passion. He invites us each day to take up our Cross, to welcome him who knocks on the doors of our hearts.

    The One Thing Needed - The Memorial of St. Bruno

    One of the most difficult acts of Faith the Lord asks of us is to believe what He says in our Gospel today from Luke, "There is need of only one thing." The many tasks and demands of life can tend to make life disjointed in our minds, losing the unity and harmony that only God can bring. There is only ever one true need, the presence of God. Where do I easily forget about the Presence of God in my day? The Lord is inviting us, like St. Bruno, to live lives that make sense by remembering always our deepest need is for His Presence, and supplies this need throughout the day. Let us not be afraid to remain in the Presence of Christ, to listen for the beautiful harmony God is wanting to make today with the many circumstances and demands on us.

    From Mine to Yours - 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time

    Perhaps the most dangerous word we say to God is not, "no", but, "mine". We tend to confuse freedom with control, treating our life as our own project rather than God's gift to us. Our Lord reveals to us that our lives are not our own, but rather are like vineyards He has planted and entrusted to us to produce the fruit for which we are made. Where in my life have I decided what I want, and am not asking God what He wants? The Lord is inviting us to live in true freedom, in the joy and adventure of living the life He has planned for us. We discover life's deepest meaning and greatest adventure when we stop saying to God, "Mine", and being saying, "Yours."

    Angels Have Wings, We Have Feet - Feast of the Archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael

    We tend to depict angels with wings because they fly to do God's Will. We have feet that often walk slowly toward God, or stand still, or even run in the opposite direction. While we cannot imitate the amazing nature of the angels, we can imitate their readiness to do God's Will quickly with all our hearts for the good of the Kingdom. Am I ready to respond to God's Will immediately like the angels? The Lord is inviting us to have a relationship with these Archangels, Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael to benefit from their protection and imitate their readiness to serve the Kingdom.

    Mary Stood at the Cross - The Memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows

    Mary stood at the Cross. Imperfect love recoils from the pain of the one we love. Perfect love suffers with the beloved. Our Lord has given Mary to us as our mother so that we might learn from her what he learned from her, how to love. Mary has a unique and unrepeatable vocation, like all of us. Hers is to be the mother of God. She is Our Lady of Sorrows because her sorrow at the Cross of Christ is the greatest of kind and degree. Where am I running from my vocation by running from the pain it will cause me? Where am I running from the Cross? Our Lord is inviting us to learn from his mother, from our mother, what our vocation is, to love through suffering, and to embrace the Cross in our lives for the salvation of the world.
