Divine Mercy Sunday – Homily (Msgr. LoPinto)

| St. Charles Borromeo

We often refer to this gospel as the gospel of the Doubting Thomas.

But I dare say that this was not a doubting Thomas, just being a human.

And was looking for concrete evidence in which he could place his trust. The Lord recognizes that and gives him that concrete evidence by coming before him and inviting him.

Who put his hands into the large wounds that he may realize that this truly is the crucified Jesus who has been glorified, stands there in its midst as the glorified one.

Homilies

Easter Sunday – Homily (Fr. Smith)

| St. Charles Borromeo

A poet wrote that it is not where I breathe but where I love, I live. The risen Jesus has brought us to a world where everything revolves around God’s love and we can live life to the full.  

This world begins at the tomb. Jesus had been placed in it hurriedly and now for him to be buried as a Jew he must be anointed with oil. Three women come to do this, but they know that a stone has been rolled over the entrance to prevent animals from defiling a corpse and they will not be able to move it.  

They loved Jesus so much that they would risk the wrath of the authorities by tending to his body. This is true love they did not think that he was alive and could no longer do anything for them. Yet although four times in Marks’s gospel Jesus says that he will rise from the dead his disciples, even these brave women and women are the superior disciples in Mark, do not understand, they expected to find a corpse.

Homilies

Good Friday – Homily (Msgr. LoPinto)

| St. Charles Borromeo

After this, aware everything was now finished in order that the scripture might be fulfilled, Jesus said I thirst. There are many phrases that are contained in the different accounts of the passion,

but perhaps this one stands out because it really reflects what Jesus was intent upon.

It’s a phrase that became part of the writings in her daily in her daily diary of the sainted Mother Teresa.

She often wrote that the feeling that she had was a thirst.
