TODAY’S MESSAGE My Dear St. Cyprian Family, Are you a sheep without a shepherd? There is a beautiful message in today’s readings from Scriptures. God says, “I myself will gather my sheep.” “I myself will be their good shepherd.” This means that God cares for us in moments when we feel that we do not have shepherds who really care for us. God himself has promised to be our shepherd. There is also another aspect in today’s message, which is equally important. The first reading tells us: “I will appoint shepherds who will shepherd my sheep, so that they need no longer fear and tremble, and none shall be missing, says the Lord.” Think of a time when someone gave you a hand when you needed it, or an unexpected smile, or a good laugh when you were down, or even said “God bless you!” when you sneezed. If you can think of such a moment, God has fulfilled his promise to appoint you a shepherd. Now try also to think of a moment when you were the one who said a little prayer for someone, or offered a word of encouragement, or gave your attention to someone who was feeling ignored. If you can think of such a moment, God has fulfilled his promise to appoint you a shepherd. Let us continue to be shepherds after the heart of Jesus, our Good Shepherd. Blessings, Fr.

  • 07-21 Lawrence of Brindisi
    “We do not preach ourselves but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves for the sake of Jesus” (2 Cor 4:5). Today is the Memorial of Lawrence of Brindisi, a Doctor of the Church noted for his preaching. His sermons rely heavily on scriptural quotations to illustrate his teaching. As a bright and talented student, he had a knack for learning languages and was able to read the biblical texts in their original language. Lawrence had an excellent knowledge of the languages Jesus spoke, Hebrew and Aramaic. He gave the credit to God for his gift with languages. “At the request of Pope Clement VIII, he spent much time preaching to the Jews in Italy. So excellent was his knowledge of Hebrew, the rabbis felt sure he was a Jew who had become a Christian.”i As a scholar, he tried to learn from the master. “Remembering the sufferings of Jesus Christ, he could not refrain from tears. He honored Mary, the Mother of God, with a very tender love, and to her he ascribed whatever he had received from Christ. Greatly devoted to prayer, he used whatever time he could for it and was often lifted up in ecstasy. He was famous for the gift of prophecy and the reading of hearts.”ii Lawrence was born in 1559 and entered studies for the priesthood with the Capuchin Franciscans in Venice at the age of 16. Completing his studies in Padua, he was ordained at the age of 23. He lived in the era after the Council of Trent and the Counter Reformation.
