Blog Post 2/10/2024 - Homily Offered at OLPH

 

Today we remember and celebrate St. Scholastica who asked her brother, St. Benedict, for a favor and he said no.  She then prayed to God, Who said yes.  In our 1^st reading we heard, “God wants to be the seal on our heart….” and in our Responsorial we were encouraged to “… praise the name of the Lord.”  God became the seal on our heart when we were Baptized and our response should be to praise God always.

 

The Gospel relates the famous story of Martha and Mary.  Today focus on Jesus’ call to each one of us into His inner circle, and reflect of this line from the Gospel, “There is need of only one thing.”

Our Prayer, Study and Action must be focused on Jesus.  St. Francis de Sales recommends we focus on Living on Jesus.

Vive Jesu is the one thing needed.

 

May God Be Praised.
