November 28 - St. Catherine Laboure

+ We keep our focus on rejoicing during the Advent Season:  rejoicing because we are indeed proceeding post haste to the house of the Lord.
The Prophet Isaiah tells us of the splendor that will be awaiting the survivors of the great Day, the great Test, the great challenge.

Yet, through it all the Lord God will be present and make himself known in a thousand different ways during the day: all emanating from the root and source of his glory – his light – his guidance – his providence!

We shall indeed be protection from the heat of the day, and shall have a cover for the storm and the rains of life that are inevitable right up to the very end.
Come and save us, Lord our God; let your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.

In the gospel passage Jesus marvels at the FAITH of a pagan Roman centurion. And he grants his request for healing. May our requests be granted as well because we ask ever for an increase of faith.

None are worthy to have the Lord enter under our roofs – the roofs of the Temples of our Hearts – except those who cry out in their BELIEF – COME LORD JESUS, COME HOLY SPIRIT – fill me and my loved ones with HEALTH, HEALING AND HAPPINESS. The Lord makes us worthy.
And our Holy Communion with him at this and every Mass seals the deal!
We thank him for such a marvelous and mysterious dynamic that is fanned into flame in our hearts every day at Mass.

Through the intercession of Blessed Mother Mary – from whom all graces flow – especially under the title of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal – whose promoter, St. Catherine Laboure (Daughter of Charity) we celebrate today.

O Mary, conceived without sin – pray for us – intercede for us – grant our requests – who have recourse to you.
