Homily

Archbishop Romero played an important role in the Salvadorian community. He was the voice, speaking out on behalf of the poor and the oppressed. Similar to Jesus, Romero showed his closeness to the poor, his love of the vulnerable, his courage and resolution, the pharisaic plotting against him, his doubts and fears, the death threats and the public execution. There was disbelief and despair all across El Salvador but especially in the poor communities amongst the common people and city dwellers…

Vicarious Experience. The second indicator of efficacy information is the vicarious experience of the effects produced by the actions of others. This source of information is weaker than the interpreted results of mastery experiences, but, when people are uncertain about their own abilities or have limited prior experience, they become more sensitive to it. As the researcher has demonstrated, the effects of models are particularly relevant in this context. A significant model in one’s life can…

things everybody’s got tuh do fuh theyselves. They got tuh go tuh God, and they got tuh find out about livin’ fuh theyselves” (192). Janie says nothing more for the entirety of the book, letting these last words reverberate. The meaning of Janie’s homily is that each and every person must live for themselves, and for themselves only. He must believe that God will guide him and is required to search for happiness from within; the latter of which Janie learned to do from her one true love, Tea…

The Eucharist as a Sacrifice On the night before Jesus suffered on the cross, He shared one last meal with his disciples. It is during this meal that the sacrament of His Body and Blood was instituted. It is now commonly known as the sacrament of the Eucharist. He did this in order to preserve it throughout the ages and to entrust to the church a memorial of his sacrifice for us through death. It is a memorial in the sense that it makes present the sacrifice which Christ offered to God, on the…

The Church is often associated as the old building where people are required to sit for an entire hour and listen to the priest give his homily. It is the place people have been taught to respect and give reverence to, yet it is also the very same place that people despise and take for granted. Many of the youth nowadays reject the Catholic Church and instead focus on their personal relationship with God. They view the Church as a mere institution with rules and regulations that hinder them from…

confuse the entity, composed of four hundred and fifty units whose only point of reference vis-à-vis the black gown was Batman’s cape. Mr Knight mounted the stage and instead of the expected request for the entity to be seated followed by an apt homily, the newly-appointed Headmaster spoke thus in curt…

· replace the traditional apostolic tension between ordained ministry and lay authority with an uneasy détente · are uncomfortable with the Gospel's uncomfortable aspects · offer benign teaching homilies that are overwhelmingly familiar in content and style · seek consensus through patient manipulation and political trade-offs · believe the use of apostolic authority inevitably leads to a fight · protect only the richest and…

God is present in our lives every day, and He is visible to humans through creation, themselves, history, and others. I see God through all of those ways everyday, but most importantly, I see Him through others. Whether it is my family, friends, or strangers, I can always witness God’s omnipresence. God is revealed to me through other people’s Salvatorian service, their kindness, and their will to answer God’s call to holiness through vocation. God is visible to me through my own service and…

1. I have read the Gospels many times. I went to Sacred Heart Catholic School before St. Marys, and one of our assignment in 7 grade was to read each Gospel and answer a packet of questions. Like if said I’ve read the Gospels a lot and about half of those times were for school assignments. When read the Gospel this time around I notice that my mind was filling in the blanks. I was putting parts from other Gospels into this Gospel in place were it wasn’t written. The most common Gospels…

To me, Jesus is the Bridegroom. I have this image from reading the Bible, spiritual books, saint stories, homilies and lectures from different bible scholars such as Scott Hahn. Through all these basic knowledge, I've learned that from the beginning of the Bible to the end has always mentioned that God wants to be wed with us. The Bible tells the story of God the Father’s love for us and His plan to gather all into one holy family. God unfolds His plan of salvation through a series of…
