DAY 13 – MOTHER OF OUR CREATOR, PRAY THAT WE RECEIVE THE GIFT OF KNOWLEDGE!
GOD’S WORD
“An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.” (Proverbs 18:15)
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” (Proverbs 1:7)
HEROES’ WORDS
“We judge all things according to the divine truth.” -St. Augustine
“A scrap of knowledge about sublime things is worth more than any amount about trivialities.” -St. Thomas Aquinas
“There are some who desire knowledge merely for its own sake; and that is shameful curiosity. And there are others who desire to know, in order that they may themselves be known; and that is vanity, disgraceful too. Others again, desire knowledge in order to acquire money or preferment by it; that too is a discreditable quest. But there are also some who desire knowledge, that they may build up the souls of others with it and that is charity. Others, again, desire it that they may themselves be built up thereby; and that is prudence. Of all these types, only the last two put knowledge to the right use.” -St. Bernard
MEDITATION
The Gift of Knowledge: One of the seven infused gifts. By the illuminating action of the Holy Spirit it perfects the virtue of faith. It gives a person the ability to judge everything from a supernatural viewpoint. The object of this gift is the whole spectrum of created things insofar as they lead one to God. Through infused knowledge the faithful can see the providential purpose of whatever enters their lives, and they are able to put creatures to the right use according to God’s will for themselves and for others. Sometimes called “the science of the saints,” it enables those who have the gift to discern easily and effectively between the impulses of temptation and the inspirations of grace. (Fr. John Hardon, Modern Catholic Dictionary).

Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost
SAINT MONICA
Sirach, Chapter 26, Verse 3
A good wife is a generous gift
bestowed upon him who FEARS the Lord.
So,
does this mean that if you don’t fear the Lord, you are to be cursed with a bad
wife?
I don’t think that is the message here though; the
point is that if our primary relationship with the Lord is right then as a
natural result all our relationships will be improved. If you fear the Lord,
that is Love the Lord, then you will love those around you and not see others
as objects to be used but as people of worth and dignity. As a husband seek to
love your wife as Christ loved the church giving Himself up for her.
Today
we are a community living in the fulfillment of faith in Christ and He asks us
to do something unthinkable,
“Amen, amen, I say to you,
unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have
life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life,
and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood
is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in
him. Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father,
so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me. This is the bread
that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever
eats this bread will live forever.” (John 6:53-58)
Be a good husbandman[1]
All men are called by God to be husbandmen. Some are called to the priesthood, and they may hear Christ saying to them:
Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. (Mt. 4:19)
Others
are called to the single life, and they may serve the Lord via their work and
there are those who are called to the married life, but all are husbandmen.
What makes a good husbandman?
Let
us look at St. Joseph as an example of a good husbandman.
· St. Joseph in all his dealings was humble.
· He was the provider and protector of
Mary and Jesus
· full of zeal
and great courage,
· Obedient to the will of
God. Yet he was not rash; and with prudence
pondered.
· His decisions trusting in
divine providence.
· He was a model of
workers and
· an example of
married life and chaste love.
· He valued prayer and the hidden life.
· He was ready for the call of a neighbor or to the call of God;
· He gave an immediate response.
· His was a life of
sacrifice; his was a life
of simplicity.
To
be a good husbandman is to:
“Do the ordinary in an
extraordinary way.”
ON KEEPING THE LORDS DAY HOLY[2]
CHAPTER
V
DIES
DIERUM
Sunday:
The Primordial
Feast, Revealing the Meaning of Time
CONCLUSION
87. Dear Brothers and Sisters, the
imminence of the Jubilee invites us to a deeper spiritual and pastoral
commitment. Indeed, this is its true purpose. In the Jubilee year, much will be
done to give it the particular stamp demanded by the ending of the Second
Millennium and the beginning of the Third since the Incarnation of the Word of
God. But this year and this special time will pass, as we look to other
jubilees and other solemn events. As the weekly "solemnity", however,
Sunday will continue to shape the time of the Church's pilgrimage, until that
Sunday which will know no evening.
Therefore, dear Brother Bishops and
Priests, I urge you to work tirelessly with the faithful to ensure that the
value of this sacred day is understood and lived ever more deeply. This will
bear rich fruit in Christian communities, and will not fail to have a positive
influence on civil society as a whole.
In coming to know the Church, which
every Sunday joyfully celebrates the mystery from which she draws her life, may
the men and women of the Third Millennium come to know the Risen Christ. And
constantly renewed by the weekly commemoration of Easter, may Christ's
disciples be ever more credible in proclaiming the Gospel of salvation and ever
more effective in building the civilization of love.
My blessing to you all!
From the Vatican, on 31 May, the
Solemnity of Pentecost, in the year 1998, the twentieth of my Pontificate.
Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost[3]
UNITE your voice with the Church in the Introit of
the Mass, and pray for assistance against her enemies. “Have regard, O Lord, to
Thy covenant, and forsake not, unto the end, the souls of Thy poor: Arise, O
Lord, and judge Thy cause, and forget not the voices of them that seek Thee. O
God, why hast Thou cut us off unto the end? Why is Thy wrath enkindled against
the sheep of Thy pasture”?
Prayer. O
almighty and eternal God, grant to us an increase of faith, hope, and charity;
and that we may deserve to obtain what Thou promisest, make us love what Thou
commandest.
EPISTLE. Gal. iii. 16-22.
Brethren: To Abraham were the promises made, and to
his seed. He saith not: And to his seeds, as of many: but as of one: And to thy
seed, which is Christ. Now this I say, that the testament which was confirmed
by God: the law, which was made after four hundred and thirty years, doth not
annul, to make the promise of no effect. For if the inheritance be of the law,
it is no more of promise. But God gave it to Abraham by promise. Why then was
the law? It was set because of transgressions, until the seed should come, to
whom He made the promise, being ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
Now a mediator is not of one: but God is one. Was the law then against the
promises of God? God forbid. For if there had been a law given which could give
life, verily justice should have been by the law. But the Scripture hath
concluded all under sin, that the promise by the faith of Jesus Christ might be
given to them that believe.
Explanation. St. Paul
shows the Galatians that they could not be justified by the Mosaic law, but
only by active faith. The promise, he says, which God gave to Abraham, that all
nations should be saved through faith in one of his seed, pointed to Christ.
Even the Scriptures tell us that, notwithstanding the law and its sacrifices,
the Jews remained sinners; it could not, therefore, by itself, justify man. It
follows, therefore, that salvation was to be gained only through Jesus, Who
delivered men from the Jewish law. Let us, then, by active faith in Him, make
use of this grace for eternity.
GOSPEL. Luke xvii. 11-19
An increase in faith,
hope, and love.
At that time,
as Jesus was going to Jerusalem, He passed through the midst of Samaria in
Galilee. And as he entered into a certain town, there met Him ten men that were
lepers who stood afar oft: and lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus, Master,
have mercy on us. Whom when He saw, He said: Go, show yourselves to the
priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were made clean. And one of
them, when he saw that he was made clean, went back, with a loud voice
glorifying God, and he fell on his face, before His feet, giving thanks; and
this was a Samaritan. And Jesus answering, said: Were not ten made clean? and where
are the nine? There is no one found to return and give glory to God, but this
stranger. And He said to him: Arise, go thy way: for thy faith hath made thee
whole.
What, in a spiritual sense, does leprosy mean?
In a spiritual
sense leprosy means sin, especially the sin of impurity. The Jewish law divided
leprosy into three kinds, namely, that of the flesh, that of garments, and that
of houses.
·
the
leprosy of the flesh may be likened to the impure, who easily corrupt others;
·
the
leprosy of garments, to luxury of dress and scandalous fashions, by which not
only souls are seduced into sin, but many families and communities are brought
to poverty and plunged into eternal ruin;
·
the
leprosy of houses, to places where wicked and immoral servants are kept; where
immodest dances and plays occur, where licentious acts are committed, where
meetings are allowed and encouraged to the injury of virtue and of our neighbor’s
honor, where assistance or advice is given in wicked undertakings of any sort.
Why did the lepers stand afar off?
Because
it was thus commanded by the Jewish law, so that no one might catch contagion
from them. From this we learn that we must as carefully shun scandalous
persons, companies, and houses, as we would the plague. He that toucheth pitch shall be defiled with
it, and he that hath fellowship with the proud shall put on pride.” (Ecclus.
xiii. 1).
Why did Jesus ask for the nine others who also were
made clean?
To
show how greatly ingratitude displeases Him. Injuries to Himself He generally
submitted to in silence; but this ingratitude He would not suffer to pass
uncondemned. So great a sin is ingratitude. On this account St. Bernard says, “Ingratitude
is an enemy of the soul that destroys merit, corrupts virtue, and prevents
grace. It is a scorching wind that dries up the fountain of the goodness and
the mercy of God.”
Why does God require us to be grateful?
This
question St. Chrysostom answers very beautifully by saying: “God requires
gratitude of us only that He may confer on us new graces.” Then let us not
forget to thank Him morning and evening; before and after meals; as often as
you recognize His blessing in your house, in your children, in your property,
your cattle, your fields, your fruits. St. Augustine says: “We cannot think,
speak, or write anything better or more acceptable than, Thanks be to God!”
Instruction on The
Sacrament of Holy Orders.
“Go, show yourselves to the priests” Luke xvii. 14.
What are Holy Orders?
A
sacrament in which the priestly power is conferred on the candidate, together
with a special grace to discharge its sacred functions.
What is the outward sign of this sacrament?
The
laying on of hands and the prayer of the bishop, and the presentation of the
chalice with bread and wine, together with the verbal communication of
authority to change the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ, and
to remit and retain sins.
When did Christ institute this sacrament?
At
the Last Supper, when, after changing the bread into His true body, and the
wine into His true blood, He said to His apostles, “Do this for a commemoration
of Me” (Luke xxii. 19).
Are Holy Orders reckoned a sacrament by the apostles?
Yes,
for St. Paul admonishes His disciple Timothy to stir up the grace of God received
by the imposition of his hands. Hereby St. Paul teaches expressly that by the
imposition of the hands of the apostles, or of the bishops, who are their
successors, the grace of God is imparted to priests, in which consists the
substance of the sacrament. Pray, then, for the priests; asking fervently of
God, particularly on ember-days, to give His Church faithful pastors. Jesus
Himself commands it, saying, the harvest indeed is great, but the laborers are
few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that He send laborers into His Harvest”
(Luke x. 2).
Saint Monica[4]
St. Monica is an example of those holy matrons of the ancient Church who proved very influential in their own quiet way. Through prayer and tears she gave the great Augustine to the Church of God, and thereby earned for herself a place of honor in the history of God's kingdom on earth. The Confessions of St. Augustine provide certain biographical details. Born of Christian parents about the year 331 at Tagaste in Africa, Monica was reared under the strict supervision of an elderly nurse who had likewise reared her father. In the course of time, she was given in marriage to a pagan named Patricius. Besides other faults, he possessed a very irascible nature; it was in this school of suffering that Monica learned patience. It was her custom to wait until his anger had cooled; only then did she give a kindly remonstrance. Evil-minded servants had prejudiced her mother-in-law against her, but Monica mastered the situation by kindness and sympathy. Her marriage was blessed with three children: Navigius, Perpetua, who later became a nun, and Augustine, her problem child.
According to the custom of
the day, baptism was not administered to infants soon after birth. It was as an
adolescent that Augustine became a catechumen, but possibly through a
premonition of his future sinful life, Monica postponed his baptism even when her
son desired it during a severe illness. When Augustine was nineteen years old,
his father Patricius died; by patience and prayer Monica had obtained the
conversion of her husband. The youthful Augustine caused his mother untold
worry by indulging in every type of sin and dissipation. As a last resort after
all her tears and entreaties had proved fruitless, she forbade him entrance to
her home; but after a vision she received him back again. In her sorrow a
certain bishop consoled her: "Don't worry, it is impossible that a son of
so many tears should be lost."
When Augustine was
planning his journey to Rome, Monica wished to accompany him. He outwitted her,
however, and had already embarked when she arrived at the docks. Later she
followed him to Milan, ever growing in her attachment to God. St. Ambrose held
her in high esteem, and congratulated Augustine on having such a mother. At
Milan she prepared the way for her son's conversion. Finally, the moment came
when her tears of sorrow changed to tears of joy. Augustine was baptized. And
her lifework was completed. She died in her fifty-sixth year, as she was
returning to Africa. The description of her death is one of the most beautiful
passages in her son's famous “Confessions”.
The
Role of Woman as Mother[5]
Reflections on the richness and gift
of being a mother, thought provoking particularly on Marian feasts and saints
such as St. Monica. Woman is called to be a giver of life. Not physical life
alone, but life on the psychological and spiritual planes as well. Woman's
greatness lies in the sphere of nurture: in bearing, fostering, enlarging and
expanding life.
Motherhood, in its essence, is a
mystery of fecundity. All life on the earth is conceived and nurtured in
darkness, brought to birth, sustained and protected until it reaches maturity.
Motherhood is the fullness of this organic process, crowning nature with its
most perfect fruit--the human being. Mankind has always linked motherhood with
the mystery of nature's abundance. In literature and folklore, the warm and
fertile "Mother Earth" becomes the most common image of woman's
fruitfulness. "I sing of the earth, firmly founded mother of all,
supporting on her soil all that lives," wrote Homer, and poets ever since
have celebrated the mother's fecundity in everything budding, blossoming,
ripening, bearing fruit: the flowering meadow, the full blossoming rose, the
fair olive tree, the field of ripening grain, the vine laden with its rich, red
grapes.
The ancient pagans stood in wonder
before the life-giving power of woman, sensing that motherhood somehow
transcended nature to touch the divine. Christianity elevates and purifies the
truth which the pagan world could only glimpse. The triune God, the infinitely
fruitful, wills to make His creatures partake of His own creative power. Both
men and women reflect the divine creativity, but differently. The man as
father, generating new life, is an image of the eternal Father "from whom
all paternity in heaven and earth is named." The woman as mother, nurturing
the seed with her own substance, bearing the new life into the world, bringing
it to maturity, reflects God's nurturing love which sustains the world. God
Himself has told us that He stands as mother to us: "Shall not I that make
others to bring forth children myself bring forth, saith the Lord. Shall I that
give generation to others be barren? Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, who are
born up by my womb. As one whom the mother caresses, so will I comfort
you."
But the supreme realization of woman's
fecundity lies in the spiritual order. At the summit of human fruitfulness
stands Mary, the mother of Jesus. The fruit of her womb is the very Son of God,
and by her Son's word on the cross she has become the mother of all the living,
the dispenser of God's graces throughout all ages. And since Our Lady is the
exemplar of womanhood, every woman in a certain sense has a part in Mary’s
maternal role. Every woman is meant to share in nurturing the Christ-life in
the souls of men. The Christian woman in marriage cannot be content to give her
children natural life alone; she must also be their spiritual mother, educating
them as members of God's family and like St. Monica, being "in labor of
them" as often as she sees them swerving from Him. In her role as spiritual
mother woman uses the resources of her maternal instincts and capacities at
their most exalted level.
Pots de Creme Day[6]
” From the French have come many excellent things.
Nothing related to wartime, mind you, but if you’re looking for ways to enjoy
the finer things in life there are no wiser people. Take the Pots de Creme, for
instance, a truly decadent preparation that is quite possibly the king of
desserts.” Anonymous
Rich, creamy, delectable. Pots de
Creme are one of the greatest inventions of the 17th Century, and they’ve
remained a favorite treat in the centuries since. Pots de Creme Day celebrates
these delicious treats and their long history. In the 17th-century Pots de
Creme started becoming popular and were originally created filling crusts like
a pie. As time went on they were made in smaller portions and the crust was
eliminated. While it remains incredibly popular, many people have difficulty
pronouncing it. It is not, as the name suggests, “Pawts deh Creem”, but in fact
is pronounced “Po de Krehm”. But no matter how you pronounce it, it’ absolutely
delicious and a complete breeze to make! Pots de Creme are, at their most
basic, just four ingredients, but once you master the basic recipe a whole
world of possibility opens up. Fruit flavors were incredibly common, especially
when prepared with fresh fruit, or you could enjoy them as a rich chocolate or
butterscotch. Really, there was no end to what these little custards could be.
That’s right! These are lightly prepared custards, but the French didn’t have a
word for custard, so they called them Pots de Creme.
How to Celebrate
Pots de Creme day is an excellent
opportunity for you to discover the ease with which they can be made and the
unlimited variety that comes out of one simple recipe. First, start off with a
basic vanilla version.
Pots de Creme
6 cups heavy cream
1 ½c whole milk
¾t kosher salt
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
18 large egg yolks
¾c sugar
Whipped Cream (for serving)
Begin by putting a rack on the middle
space of an oven and begin preheating until it reaches 300F. Blend together the
milk, salt, and cream in a large pot, split the vanilla bean and scrape the
seeds into it. Slowly bring the pot to a simmer over medium heat, stirring to
prevent the bottom from burning. While that heats, whisk the egg yolks and
sugar until they reach a light golden color, and then pour the hot cream into
the yolk blend, whisking until smooth. Then strain it through a fine sieve into
a pitcher. Place the ramekins on a roasting pan and fill each of them until
they’re half full. Bake for 25-30 minutes, and then cool in a water bath for 5
minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack and let them cool down. Place in a
refrigerator and allow to chill for four hours.
Top with whipped cream and serve!

MYSTERY

CHAPTER
ONE THE PASCHAL MYSTERY IN THE AGE OF THE CHURCH
Article
1 THE LITURGY - WORK OF THE HOLY TRINITY
I. The Father-Source and
Goal of the Liturgy
1077 "Blessed be the God and
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every
spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before
the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him.
He destined us before him in love to be his sons through Jesus Christ,
according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace which
he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved."
1078 Blessing is a divine and
life-giving action, the source of which is the Father; his blessing is both
word and gift. When applied to man, the word "blessing" means
adoration and surrender to his Creator in thanksgiving.
1079 From the beginning until the
end of time the whole of God's work is a blessing. From the liturgical poem of
the first creation to the canticles of the heavenly Jerusalem, the inspired
authors proclaim the plan of salvation as one vast divine blessing.
1080 From the very beginning God
blessed all living beings, especially man and woman. the covenant with Noah and
with all living things renewed this blessing of fruitfulness despite man's sin
which had brought a curse on the ground. But with Abraham, the divine blessing
entered into human history which was moving toward death, to redirect it toward
life, toward its source. By the faith of "the father of all
believers," who embraced the blessing, the history of salvation is
inaugurated.
1081 The divine blessings were made
manifest in astonishing and saving events: the birth of Isaac, the escape from
Egypt (Passover and Exodus), the gift of the promised land, the election of
David, the presence of God in the Temple, the purifying exile, and return of a
"small remnant." the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms, interwoven in
the liturgy of the Chosen People, recall these divine blessings and at the same
time respond to them with blessings of praise and thanksgiving.
1082 In the Church's liturgy the
divine blessing is fully revealed and communicated. the Father is acknowledged
and adored as the source and the end of all the blessings of creation and
salvation. In his Word who became incarnate, died, and rose for us, he fills us
with his blessings. Through his Word, he pours into our hearts the Gift that
contains all gifts, the Holy Spirit.
1083 The dual dimension of the
Christian liturgy as a response of faith and love to the spiritual blessings
the Father bestows on us is thus evident. On the one hand, the Church, united
with her Lord and "in the Holy Spirit," blesses the Father
"for his inexpressible gift in her adoration, praise, and
thanksgiving. On the other hand, until the consummation of God's plan, the
Church never ceases to present to the Father the offering of his own gifts and
to beg him to send the Holy Spirit upon that offering, upon herself, upon the
faithful, and upon the whole world, so that through communion in the death and
resurrection of Christ the Priest, and by the power of the Spirit, these divine
blessings will bring forth the fruits of life "to the praise of his
glorious grace."
