    I actually know a man who lived through "3" shipwrecks! He lived till his late 90's as well. He was a scallop fisherman from Maine who fished out of New Bedford MA. He lost his Dad at sea and his brother.as well. He still loved the hard life of fishing. And he had a Masters degree. God rest his soul. Anyways great homily Fr. Mark. We have to look to the apostle's when we are suffering, for strength to carry our crosses. Amen. Ave Maria!

      Oh soooo true!! Father Mark is REAL!! Down to earth, everyday things that happen in his life I so enjoy hearing. We never had priests like him. I was Catholic, but because I did not receive what I needed at a time when I needed the Church. I am happy being in a non-denominational church and learning so much that I didn’t know as a Catholic.
      I will continue to listen to Father Mark’s homilies. He’s the best!

    Not to the most delightful, but to the most distasteful;
    Not to the most gratifying, but to the less pleasant;

    Not to the consoling, but to the unconsoling;
    Not to the most, but to the least;
    Not to the highest and most precious, but to the lowest and most despised;
    Not to wanting something, but to wanting nothing;
    Do not go about looking for the best of temporal things, but for the worst, and, for Christ, desire to enter into complete nakedness, emptiness, and poverty in everything in the world.”

    🌹"I realize as never before that the Lord is gentle and merciful; He did not send me this heavy cross until I could bear it. If He had sent it before, I am certain that it would have discouraged me . . . I desire nothing at all now except to love until I die of love. I am free, I am not afraid of anything, not even of what I used to dread most of all . . . a long illness which would make me a burden to the community. I am perfectly content to go on suffering in body and soul for years, if that would please God. I am not in the least afraid of living for a long time; I am ready to go on fighting."

      1I saw the new heaven and the new earth. For the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and the sea is no more. 2And I, John, saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband. 3And I heard a great voice from the throne, saying: “Behold the tabernacle of God with men. And he will dwell with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be their God with them. 4And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. And death shall be no more. And neither mourning, nor crying out, nor grief shall be anymore. For the first things have passed away.” 5And the One who was sitting upon the throne, said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And he said to me, “Write, for these words are entirely faithful and true.” 6And he said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To those who thirst, I will give freely from the fountain of the water of life. 7Whoever prevails shall possess these things. And I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8But the fearful, and the unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and drug users, and idolaters, and all liars, these shall be a part of the pool burning with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.” 9And one of the seven Angels, those holding the bowls filled with the seven last afflictions, approached and spoke with me, saying: “Come, and I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10And he took me up in spirit to a great and high mountain. And he showed me the Holy City Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11having the glory of God. And its light was like that of a precious stone, even like that of the jasper stone or like crystal. 12And it had a wall, great and high, having twelve gates. And at the gates were twelve Angels. And names were written upon them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel. 13On the East were three gates, and on the North were three gates, and on the South were three gates, and on the West were three gates. 14And the wall of the City had twelve foundations. And upon them were the twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb. 15And he who was speaking with me was holding a golden measuring reed, in order to measure the City, and its gates and wall. 16And the city is laid out as a square, and so its length is as great as the width. And he measured the city with the golden reed for twelve thousand stadia, and its length and height and breadth were equal. 17And he measured its wall as one hundred and forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, which is of an Angel. 18And the structure of its wall was of jasper stone. Yet truly, the city itself was of pure gold, similar to pure glass. 19And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was of jasper, the second was of sapphire, the third was of chalcedony, the fourth was of emerald, 20the fifth was of sardonyx, the sixth was of sardius, the seventh was of chrysolite, the eighth was of beryl, the ninth was of topaz, the tenth was of chrysoprasus, the eleventh was of jacinth, the twelfth was of amethyst. 21And the twelve gates are twelve pearls, one for each, so that each gate was made from a single pearl. And the main street of the city was of pure gold, similar to transparent glass. 22And I saw no temple in it. For the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb. 23And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine in it. For the glory of God has illuminated it, and the Lamb is its lamp. 24And the nations shall walk by its light. And the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honor into it. 25And its gates shall not be closed throughout the day, for there shall be no night in that place. 26And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. 27There shall not enter into it anything defiled, nor anything causing an abomination, nor anything false, but only those who have been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb.

    There is a curious thing about chicks hatching. If as it starts to hatch someone breaks open the shell for the chick, it will likely die. They need to struggle as part of the process! If we don't go through any difficulty or hardship we won't grow and will also be more easily intimidated by challenges in life.

      It seems to me that the difference is attitude. As Father explains, Saint Paul had numerous extraordinary sufferings, yet he was overwhelmed with Joy and courage. We could ask Saint Paul to help us to learn from him.

      @@granmabern5283 I do thank you for you thought, but I respectfully disagree.
      My comment was addressed directly to the suggestion in the good Father's homily, in particular that people should be aware of how comfortable their lives are and to take on challenges. Fine so far as that goes.
      I am all too well aware that many people who give the outward appearance that all is well are carrying crushing burdens and have little help, not even the comfort of someone to talk to; they are very separated from human comfort and carry their burdens alone. Contributing to the Church and paying taxes just does not cover it. It is to a small degree helpful when outsiders are, or become aware of the crosses some must carry, however, such folk can do little because they have their own problems and families that need their attention.
      The idea that someone should deny themselves some comfort ( e.g., turn off the ac.) and take on a challenge just seems both naive and inadequate when there is real suffering going happening.
      Maybe none of this is happening in the good Father's parish (although he indicated awareness of people carrying crosses in his homily). If there is little or no suffering in Father's parish, I say, good and God Bless them. But I wonder if Father's suggestion gets even close to what I think we should be made aware of and challenged to do.
      Thus, to me it is not a question of attitude. To me this is a question of awareness of suffering and what we as Catholics have been asked to do by our Lord in the scriptures and voiced to us by our priests.
      Just my thought.
      Dominus vobiscum.

    I have a question that I am finding a hard time getting and definite answer too. Everywhere on TV, Social Media, Movies and even Christian ones, actors say over and over in full OMG. It being in Christian movies is why I am questioning my stance on saying these words or even watching anything that has these words repeatedly used. It means most of what I begin watch even if I really want to see it, I have to turn it off! I do not mind this as it seems wrong to be entertained by something that has blaspheme in it. My question is this. Is using this term, saying it, actually Blaspheme? I know using Our Lord's name is, I know it is even wrong hearing Our Blessed Mother's name used badly is wrong. Can someone please give me their insight on this please on the term OMG
