Jun 28 – Homily: Faith and Works
Fr. Bonaventure on the need to do works out of Faith. We need to know our true faith and then put this faith into action, for faith without works is truly dead. This is highlighted by the example of St. Iraneus who died a martyr’s death for this true faith and so entered into eternal life.

1st: 2ki 24:8-17
Resp: psa 79:1-2, 3-5, 8, 9

The Noble Joseph – Byzantine Catholic Lenten Troparion
This is a tropar sung on good Friday (and in part by the priest during the Liturgy). The hymn at the sepulcher is one of the most touching moments of the year, in my opinion, as all sing together and prostrate themselves thrice before the Epitaphios. I have tried to make it with all possible solemnity. I have not included lyrics or translation because the lyrics could not be located; several translations to English are easily found on the web.

In Paradisum – Catholic Requiem Mass Hymns
This version is a choir polyphony mode, very different from the traditional Gregorian chant version. Judge for yourselves which is better, but I like both forms. The Latin lyrics and English translation follow:
In paradisum deducant te Angeli; in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres, et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Ierusalem.
Chorus angelorum te suscipiat, et cum Lazaro quondam paupere æternam habeas requiem.
May angels lead you into paradise; upon your arrival, may the martyrs receive you and lead you to the holy city of Jerusalem.
May the ranks of angels receive you, and with Lazarus, the poor man, may you have eternal rest.

Forgiveness: Rosario Rodriguez
On June 29th, 2009 Rosario was a victim of a robbery and was shot in the chest. The doctors are calling her a miracle as the bullet missed her heart by 1 cm. Her esophagus was hit by the bullet and severely damaged while fragments of the bullet hit both of my lungs. It took 8 hours of intense surgery to repair her esophagus. The doctors placed two tubes in her right lung and one in her left to drain them after they collapsed. Her doctors and surgeons said she would spend at least two months in the hospital but thanks to the prayers from many around the world and by the Grace of God she was released only 10 days after the incident. She spent a month and a half recovering in LA where she had been living and her friends took very good care of her. She has now flown home to west Michigan to stay with her family and am working her way to a full recovery, which will take about two years.
To follow her journey of recovery, the trial, whatever is going on in her life and whatever is on her mind. Check out her blog:
