Ilove hearing you stress the phrase "giving of self" in relation to the Mass. And your pointing out Christ's supreme sacrifice on the cross as the prototype of scarifical offering at Mass is splendid!

P.S - Great idea for a podcast/reflection, that also helped

When I meditated on these readings, I walked away with a few messages (although a bit cliche)...
1. Less is More (letting go of all the unnecessary things in our lives, physical, emotional, mental)
2. Quality over Quantity, in everything who do and in every relationship we encounter.
3. Savor the Moment and Dwell in God's Blessings... Live in the now, let go of worries, be still.
4. Reconnect with my 5 Senses.

Until you submit your heart and mind to purification, the Lord will not be near you; in turn, you will not be able to hear His voice whenever you call upon Him

Fr. Tom,

My family is REALLY enjoying being fed the Word and Eucharist through you at St. Mark's. Glad I was able to read your homily today since we did miss Mass this morning. This will also be a good place for me to go on the mornings the kids make it difficult for me to listen in church!

God Bless You Fr. Tom and welcome to the area!

Thank you very much, Max!

I agree that the quality of the piece is very high. The sights and music recall Rome and actually make me miss the city!!

"...in all the forms that poverty takes."

I like this line, because spiritual poverty is a greater problem than material poverty.
