God knows this, and he challenges us to avoid hate and holding grudges. In the law that Jesus preached, we are not even allowed to hate our enemies or persecutors. That is radical! It is easy to let injuries build up over time. Eventually we find ourselves far away from those we should be closest to or those we once loved. This separation starts in our thoughts and settles into our hearts and behavior. Hate grows, and if it isn’t controlled and redeemed, it can pull us down. We don’t have to hate, be angry, or carry grudges if we don’t want to. Our hearts and minds can be filled with God’s grace. We can work on three levels to overcome hate and anger: For Reflection visual, verbal, and physical.

Liguori Publications © 2017 • Liguori, MO 63057-9999 l odio es una pasión que puede tomar el corazón de una persona en un corto período de tiempo. Dios lo sabe, y nos desafía a evitar E el odio y el rencor. En la ley que Jesús predicó, ni siquiera se nos permite odiar a nuestros enemigos o perseguidores. ¡Eso es radical! Es fácil dejar que las lesiones aumenten con el tiempo. Finalmente nos encontramos lejos de aquellos que debemos estar más cerca o aquellos que una vez amamos. Esta separación comienza en nuestros pensamientos y se asienta en nuestros corazones y comportamiento. El odio crece, y si no es controlado y redimido, puede tirarnos hacia abajo. No tenemos que odiar, estar enojado, o llevar rencor si no queremos. Nuestros corazones y mentes pueden estar llenos de la gracia de Dios. Podemos trabajar en tres niveles para superar el odio y la ira: visual, verbal y física. Cuando los pensamientos enojados invaden tu mente, mira hacia arriba (visual), habla la verdad a ti mismo (verbal) y cam- bia tu postura (física). Esto ayuda a alterar los patrones de pensamiento autodestructivos y nos ayuda a reenfocar nuestro corazón y nuestra mente. Añada estos medios naturales a los medios sobrenaturales de invocar la gracia de Dios, de recibir el sacramento de la penitencia y de tomar momentos de oración para ver y hablar su verdad sobre una situación. Somos el templo de Dios. Su espíritu de paz, misericordia y serenidad necesita reinar dentro de nosotros. Eso significa deshacernos de pensamientos negativos, odiosos e hirientes hacia nosotros mismos y otros. No dejes que te tire hacia abajo! Calendar Monday February 20 Weekday Sir 1:1–10 Is it ever OK to use “God” and “damn” together? Mk 9:14–29 hen we pray “hallowed be thy name” in the Lord’s Prayer, we give Tuesday WGod the reverence he is due. Because the Lord’s name is holy, we February 21 mustn’t abuse it. The Second Commandment tells us not to “take the name Weekday of the LORD…in vain” (see Exodus 20:7). With our tongue, “we bless the Lord Sir 2:1–11 and Father, and with it we Mk 9:30–37 curse human beings who are Wednesday made in the likeness of God. February 22 From the same mouth come Chair of St. Peter, blessing and cursing. This Apostle need not be so…” (James 1 Pt 5:1–4 3:9–10). Mt 16:13–19 What happens, when our reverence is contradicted by Thursday cursing? For some, cursing February 23 is a cathartic response St. Polycarp, to pain or anger. Those Bishop and Martyr who view it as a form of Sir 5:1–8 stress management or as SHUTTERSTOCK Mk 9:41–50 a substitute for physical Friday aggression may contend that condemning in this context is neither literal February 24 nor deliberate. If God knows our hearts, that our misuse of his name is Weekday insincere, what’s the harm? Sir 6:5–17 “A sharp tongue is the only edge[d] tool that grows keener with constant Mk 10:1–12 use,” wrote Washington Irving. In other words, if we constantly and carelessly misuse God’s name, we may stop feeling sorry that it offends him. Saturday That irreverent attitude is more offensive—and more dangerous—than the February 25 vocabulary. Scripture warns, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue; Weekday those who choose one shall eat its fruit” (Proverbs 18: 21). Sir 17:1–15 Fr.

He is credited by many with being the father of Catholic Charities in New York. Pierre was instrumental in raising funds for the first Catholic orphanage and began the first school for Black children. He also helped to provide funds for the Sisters of Providence, a religious community of Black nuns founded in Baltimore and played a vital role in providing resources to erect Old Saint Patrick Cathedral in Lower Manhattan. During a Yellow Fever epidemic when many of the city’s political leaders fled the city for healthier rural climates, Saint Pierre cared for the sick and the dying. He was a successful entrepreneur, who did not hesitate to share the fruits of his labor with others. In recognition of the Saint’s virtuous life, the late Cardinal Cooke introduced Pierre’s cause for canonization in 1968.

  • When the Saints Go Marching In! Lessons Learned from Causes, Past and Present Presented by Mark G
    When the Saints go marching In! Lessons learned from Causes, Past and Present Presented by Mark G. Thiel at the Tekakwitha Conference, Alexandria, Louisiana, July 2015 1. Welcome to “When the Saints Go Marching In!” and thank you for attending. My name is Mark Thiel, the Marquette University archivist who keeps the historical records of the Black and Indian Mission Office and the Tekakwitha Conference with some Lessons Learned from canonization Causes, Past and Present. 1 2. Since its earliest days, the Christian community has proclaimed its notable saints as heroes who lead the march into Heaven. From all Christians – laity, clergy, and religious of all cultures, continents, and ways of life, they have provided a mosaic of diverse models of Christian virtue who have served as our intercessors and mediators with God for granting miracles and favors. In so doing, the Catholic Church continues to teach that while Jesus holds all power and all prayer must be answered by him, he chooses to not act alone. Rather, he collaborates with his vast multitude, the Communion of Saints. 3. In 34 A.D., soon after Jesus’ crucifixion, the Apostles appointed Stephen as one of the first deacons to preach the Gospel in Jerusalem. He healed people and worked miracles too, which angered some who confronted him and stoned him to death. Then the Christian community proclaimed him a martyr and saint, and thus began the practice of proclaiming those saints those among us who lived exceptional holy Christian lives and entering their names into special canons or honor roll of saints.
