Michael Weldon, O.F.M., Rector Basilica and Parish Church of The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary The Angelus V. The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary: R. And she conceived by the Holy Spirit. Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord: R. Be it done unto me according to thy word. Hail Mary... V. And the word was made flesh: R. And dwelt among us. Hail Mary... V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God. R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Pour forth, we beseech thee, O Lord, thy grace into our hearts, that we to whom the incarnation of Christ Thy Son was made known by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His resurrection; through the same Christ our Lord.

  • Archangels Michael and Zadkiel
    Archangels Michael and Zadkiel Michael is the great Archangel of God who has committed himself to the protection of the Son's (and daughters) of God. He carries a sword of Light to cut humanity free of the burdens of darkness that it sometimes carries. He is the Prince of Archangels and defeated Satan, who chose to turn from God and oppress mankind. He is the crusader of the Christ who will protect the soul of man and bring the presence of peace to those who choose to ask his help. He champions the Will of God and not the lower will of humanity. Yet with Love He will help humanity find the Divine path and protect the souls of those that chose it. Zadkiel is the Archangel of the violet flame. Zadkiel is the angel of the flame of forgiveness and of spiritual freedom. Love is the essence of all angels and Zadkiel, in love, will help mankind free themselves from the bonds of pain and karma they have created. The violet flame cleanses humanity of the accumulated debris of hatred and helps re-establish freedom, by transmuting mankind's mis-creations into the pure essence of Light that flows from God. We can choose to understand and feel the spiritual qualities of these two of God's messengers. We will ask for God's blessing through these angels and search for understanding of our role in God's creation. Archangel Gabriel I want to share some experiences I had with Archangel Gabriel. I had received wonderful upliftment and I believe we can all receive that.

  • The Truth About Angels
    PROJECT CONNECT PROJECT CONNECT PROJECT CONNECT The Truth About Angels by Donald L. Deffner I grew up during the Great Depression in the early 1930s. My father was a minister. Behind our small home was a dirt alley which led nine blocks to downtown Wichita, Kansas. I can remember when I was a boy the hungry, destitute men who came to the back door begging for food. My mother never turned them down. She shared what little we had, even if only a couple of pieces of bread and a glass of milk. My mother didn’t just say, “Depart in peace! I’ll pray for you! Keep warm and well fed!” (See James 2:16.) No. She acted. She gave. Often I was curious about these mysterious and somewhat scary men. I had a sense that they were “different” than I was, not worse, not better, just different. I always watched these strangers heading back up the alley toward downtown, and sometimes, in a cops-and-robbers fashion, I secretly followed them, jumping behind bushes so I wouldn’t be seen. I think I half expected them to suddenly disappear. After all, my Sunday school teacher, encouraging us to be kind and care for strangers, told us the Bible says that, by doing so, many people have entertained angels without knowing it (see Hebrews 13:2). I never saw any of the men disappear. They were ordinary, hungry human beings. But my Sunday school teacher was right. God does send His angels to us, and they do interact with us—not just to test us and see if we are kind, but to protect us and guide us.

  • If Angels Do Not Have a Gender Then How Come They Have Boys Names?
    If angels do not have a gender then how come they have boys names? It is true that we believe that angels do not have gender. Angels unlike human beings are pure spirit. This is why when people say that a human being has become an angel in heaven that is incorrect. Any human being in heaven is a saint. It is true that human beings until the resurrection of the dead while in heaven only contain their spiritual nature. But when Christ comes again, and the resurrection of the dead occurs at that moment human beings will become complete joining the physical and spiritual together in heaven. Hence, angels and human beings are not simply a different species they are different order of creation. As such angels can never become human and humans can never become angels. But when angels have been revealed to human beings, they taken on the appearance of somewhat human form. They did this in order for human beings to be able to comprehend the message that is being given to them from God. The word angel means messenger. And each angel has a specific function to perform based on their rank. There are nine ranks of angels: Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Archangels and Angels. Seraphim are caretakers to the throne of God and lead the worship of God in heaven. Cherubim guard the tree of life and the throne of God. Thrones are living symbols of God’s justice and authority and listening to the will of God present the prayers of human beings to Him.

  • President's Monthly Letter Feast of St. Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, Archangels September 2020 Dear Guardian Families
    President’s Monthly Letter Feast of St. Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, Archangels September 2020 Dear Guardian Families, Happy Feast of Sts. Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, Archangels! Yesterday we celebrated our patronal feast and the 3rd anniversary of the dedication of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Chapel. As our fourth year is now underway, we can look back and celebrate the many accomplishments of SMA in the past and look forward to our exciting future together, confident that our patron, St. Michael, will defend us in the battle. Whenever I visit the doctor, there are four words I never like to hear: “Now this may hurt.” That message brings about two responses in me, the first is one of dread… it means I’m going to be experiencing something I really don’t want! Secondly, I brace in anticipation of what is about to happen; I’m able to make myself ready for the event. September is the month of Our Lady of Sorrows (in Latin, the seven “dolors”). When Mary encountered Simeon in the temple, she heard the same message in a more intense form, “this ​is going to hurt.” The prophet told her, ​A sword will pierce through your own soul.​ Mary, a new mother still in wonder at the miraculous birth of her child, now hears that her life is going to be integrally tied to his sufferings. So September is always a month linked to compassion; the compassion Mary had for her son and has for us. It is also a reminder of the compassion we can have for each other.

Explain to your students that we have been learning that the Devil and his fallen angels tempt us to sin. We can pray a special, very powerful prayer to St. Michael to help us combat these evil spirits. St. Michael is not a saint, but an archangel. The archangels are leaders of the other angels. According to both Scripture and Catholic Tradition, St. Michael is the leader of the army of God. He is often shown in paintings and iconography in a scene from the book of Revelation, where he and his angels battle the dragon. He is the patron of soldiers, policemen, and doctors. B. Have your students turn to St. Michael the Archangel Defends Us (page 158 in the students' activity book) and pray together the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel. You may wish to play a sung version of the prayer, which you can find at SophiaOnline.org/StMichaeltheArchangel. C.

With the world ever so slowly opening back up, St. Paul's looks forward to seeing you! Keep an eye out for events as we rebuild the ministries that make up our vibrant and thriving community.

  • 3 Sunday of Ordinary Time January 24-25. 2015 Fr. Michael Renninger “Oh Jonah He Lived in a Whale. Oh Jonah He Lived in a Whal
    3rd Sunday of Ordinary Time January 24-25. 2015 Fr. Michael Renninger “Oh Jonah he lived in a whale. Oh Jonah he lived in a whale. He made his home in that fish’s abdomen. O Jonah he lived in a whale.” That song is from George Gershwin’s great opera, Porgy and Bess. Sadly, when most Christians hear the name “Jonah,” the only thing they know is what Gershwin wrote in his song. They know that Jonah got swallowed by a big fish. When it comes to the prophet Jonah, that’s about all we know. Fortunately, we get to hear a bit more about Jonah in today’s first reading. And, what we learn about Jonah may surprise us. In the Book of the Prophet Jonah, Jonah was called by God to preach a message of repentance. God called Jonah, and said to him, “Go to the great city of Nineveh, and tell them to repent. If you do, I will forgive their sins.” Nineveh was an enormously large city. And it was an enormously sinful city (I think it was in Nineveh that they first learned how to deflate footballs!). It was a city of excessive sin. Perhaps Nineveh was like Las Vegas and New Orleans at Mardi Gras, all rolled into one. In other words -lots of sin! Oh, and there was one other problem. Nineveh was an enemy of Israel, and the people who lived in Nineveh were not part of the Chosen People. They were foreigners. And they were sinners. That is where Jonah’s problem begins.

  • St. Thomas the Apostle Parish We, As St
    St. Thomas the Apostle Parish We, as St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Parish, recognize that we are the Body of Christ. Our purpose is to honor God and grow as one in Jesus Christ. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we strive to serve others through Christian Service, Prayer and Worship, Education and Evangelization. We keep within our hearts and minds the statement of faith and conviction of our patron St. Thomas the Apostle, “My Lord and my God.” X-Rays Howdy! In my homily this past week I spoke to the possible lack of contentment that the Jewish people may have felt in their worship that caused Jesus to cleanse the temple. And that lack of contentment could have stemmed from them being cheated by the leadership, but not so much as they bought animals for sacrifice and or exchanged money having come from distant lands to do so in honor of the Passover feast, but in the lack of care or concern felt for them by temple leadership. These leaders were to be present to these pilgrims and I think Jesus saw their disregard for them and reacted. That lack of contentment in worship is something that rang in my mind as I wrote my homily. In writing out a homily, I try as I know Deacons Fred & Skip do too, to relate the scriptures to our daily living. We try to offer examples from everyday living of past times or of recent events that will help center these readings to your life (and ours too). There is relevance in these scripture readings so offered to us! Sometimes it is difficult to find a point of connection with all three readings (although relating all three readings isn’t Fish Fry Fridays recommended, but relating only the gospel to the first Almost Gone!!! reading or staying with the second reading by itself).
