Jun 06 – Homily: Heavenly Wisdom
Fr. Bonaventure on the Sadducees’ attempt to trip up Our Lord with a question on a woman with many legitimate husbands and who’s will she be in heaven. Father explains that it is eternal wisdom that overcomes earthly wisdom and this should be used to bring the worldly to their senses. He relates the question to how the earthly institution of marriage reflects the covenant relation of the faithful to God where we will praise our good God for all eternity.

Jan 08 – Homily: Epiphany of Heavenly Mysteries
Fr. Bonaventure preaches on the Epiphany of the Lord pointing out that this manifestation of the divinity of the Child Jesus is in fact very miraculous and both the star in heaven that guides the Magi and the interior inspiration that motivated the Magi to travel so far has no natural explanation because it is God who brought this about. Father also explains the role of Our Lady in this manifestation and this all points to our divinely given mission to make these same mysteries manifest to our modern world.

In this intriguing new book, bestselling author Joan Carroll Cruz presents 76 mini-biographies highlighting saintly Catholics who faced intense, long-term suffering and disability with sweetness, peace and love for Jesus Christ.
These stories show the triumph of God s grace where the world finds only ugliness and approaching death. They describe some lives so recent that the saint s family members are still living today, with many causes for canonization being currently active in Rome.
Included here are Bl. Zelie Martin, who died of breast cancer; 14-year-old Bl. Isidore Bakanja, the Scapular martyr from Africa; the famous leper priest, St. Damien of Molokai; Venerable Matthew Talbot, the alcoholic; St. Germaine Cousin, rejected because of a birth defect; and little Nennolina Meo, who died from cancer of the bone, lungs and brain.
Also included are persons who suffered from paralysis, amputation, deformities, breathing problems, mental illnesses, kidney ailments, intestinal disorders, and more as well as from medical treatment itself.
Particularly remarkable are the children who suffered, including young people ages 15, 13, 12, 11 and even 6 ! For these there was no grasping at the remnants of earthly life but rather an eager anticipation of Heaven. These children showed unwavering resolve to suffer for the love of God and the conversion of sinners and they endeavored to console their parents.
Includes an Index of Ailments.
