    "As Jesus drew near Jerusalem, he saw the city and wept over it, saying, “If this day you only knew what makes for peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes..... you did not recognize the time of your visitation.” (Luke 19: 41... 44).

    Thursday 18th November 2021, 33rd Week in Ordinary Time is the feast of St Rose Philippine Duchesne. (1769 - 1852). French. Virgin and Religious. The French Revolution disrupted her religious formation. She waited for 11 years to join a new Congregation: The Society of the Sacred Heart. At the age of 49, St Rose undertook her missionary journey to America. She founded schools to educate girls.

    In our key Scripture from Luke 19, Jesus wept over Jerusalem for two reasons:
    #1. Jerusalem failed to recognize the time of the visitation of her long awaited Messiah.
    #2. Jerusalem thirsted desperately for peace but Jerusalem is totally ignorant of what makes for peace.

    These two conditions apply to our world today. As we near the end of the Church Year, we are served more and more with Scriptures of the End Times.

    Our saint of today left her native country France at the age of 49 to travel to America. She heard the urgency of the Gospel to educate little girls in America and show them the way of Peace of Christ. The Lord blessed her ministry. 170 years after the death of St Rose Philippine Duchesne, Duchesne Academy continues the work of educating girls in America.

    Jesus wept for Jerusalem because they did not recognize what makes for peace. Do we recognize what makes for peace? I like the answer provided in Romans 12: 2 :
    "Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect."

    Father, in Your will is our peace!

    "When nothing is clear, when nothing is foreseeable, it is the moment to make many acts of confidence. You will repeat them as often as necessary and, in them, you will find peace and joy in the Holy Spirit." (IN SINU JESU, The Vigil of October 13th , Anniversary of the Great Miracle of Fatima).

    Thánh Vịnh 138:8 – “Đức Giê-hô-va sẽ hoàn thành mọi việc thuộc về con. Lạy Đức Giê-hô-va, lòng nhân từ Ngài còn đến đời đời…” 
     

    Chúa quan tâm đến tất cả những gì có liên quan đến con cái Ngài và Ngài đã hứa sẽ vạch ra kế hoạch hoàn hảo cho cuộc đời của chúng ta. Tuy nhiên, đôi khi Ngài có thể chọn hoàn thành lời hứa đó trong những thung lũng của nghịch cảnh và gian khổ, nhưng thử thách sẽ chỉ kéo dài nếu Ngài thấy phù hợp. Việc duy nhất mà chúng ta nên làm trong những lúc khó khăn và đau đớn này là tôn vinh và làm sáng danh Đức Chúa Trời bằng cách luôn dõi theo Ngài.

    Hãy tin cậy Ngài, hãy có đức tin vào sự kiểm soát tuyệt đối của Ngài và hãy để yên cho Ngài kết nối các sự kiện trong cuộc đời của chúng ta để tạo nên một bức tranh đẹp đẽ nhất.

    "He [Noble man] called ten of his servants and gave them ten gold coins and told them, ‘Engage in trade with these until I return." (Luke 19: 11.... 28).

    Wednesday 17th November 2021, 33rd Week in Ordinary Time is also the feast of St Elizabeth of Hungary. (1207 - 1231) Religious. Born Hungarian Princess. Married a German Prince. In her short life of only 23 years, Elizabeth had four children and then became a Franciscan Tertiary after the death of her husband. She spent the rest of her life bringing comfort to the poor, the sick and the aged.

    Our Gospel today is the Gold Coins Parable. The Ten Gold Coins represent the Gifts of Time, Talent and Treasure God has entrusted to each of us. I asked myself: What particular talent does God entrust me with? Not Treasure since I have little money and little love for money. Not talent since I do not feel specially gifted in any particular area. But I find that God has gifted me with Abundant Time.
    Time for what?
    Time for Prayer, Word of God, Eucharist and Ministry.

    My great prayer and desire is to hear Jesus say to me:
    ‘Well done, Emmanuel! You have been faithful in this very small matter; take charge of ten ministries."

    The bystanders said to Jesus:
    "Sir, Emmanuel has ten gold coins.’ Jesus replied, ‘I tell you, to everyone who has, more will be given, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away."

    Kinh Thánh nền tảng: 
    “Anh em há chẳng biết rằng thân thể mình là đền thờ của Đức Thánh Linh đang ngự trong anh em, là Đấng mà anh em đã nhận bởi Đức Chúa Trời, và anh em chẳng phải thuộc về chính mình sao? 
    Vì chưng anh em đã được chuộc bằng giá cao rồi; vậy hãy lấy thân thể mình làm sáng danh Đức Chúa Trời.” (I Cô-rinh-tô 6:19-20)

    Con cầu xin cho các con chúng con được cứu khỏi cách ăn uống bừa bãi. 
    Bởi uy quyền đã ban cho con trong Chúa Giê-xu Christ, 
    con cầu xin Chúa cho con của con có sự khôn ngoan, tránh được bệnh biếng ăn, bệnh ăn nhiều, bệnh ăn uống vô độ và nghiện các thực phẩm độc hại. 
    Hễ khi nào các con gặp khó khăn trong những lãnh vực này, xin cho các con hướng về Ngài 
    và thưa rằng “Lạy Đức Giê-hô-va, xin chỉ dạy con con đường Ngài.” (Thánh Vịnh 27:11).

    "At that time Jesus came to Jericho and intended to pass through the town. Now a man there named Zacchaeus, who was a chief tax collector and also a wealthy man, was seeking to see who Jesus was; but he could not see him because of the crowd, for he was short in stature. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree in order to see Jesus, who was about to pass that way. When he reached the place, Jesus looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, for today I must stay at your house.” (Luke 19: 1....10).

    Tuesday 16th November 2021, 33rd Week in Ordinary Time is the feast of St Margaret of Scotland (1046 - 1093). Born Hungarian and married to King Malcolm of Scotland. Mother of 8 children who raised her children in the fear of the Lord. She is noted especially for her love for the poor. Margaret is the Patroness of Scotland.

    Today is also the feast of St Gertrude. (1256 - 1301). Virgin. German. Known as Gertrude the Great, she was a respected scholar and mystic. Over 300 years before St Margaret Mary Alacoque, Gertrude, a mystic like Margaret Mary introduced the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
    Pope Benedict XVI, says that St Gertrude “shows us that the heart of a happy life, of a true life, is friendship with the Lord Jesus.”

    Our Gospel for today deals with the lovely story of Zacchaeus. Jesus came to Jericho and intended to pass through the town. Jesus changed his plan in order to stay with Zacchaeus for the night. From what we learn from the Gospel, Zacchaeus is a very interesting and nice man. Jesus delights to hang around with these types of personality. Remember Matthew the Tax Collector who became St Matthew the Apostle and Evangelist?

    The story of Zacchaeus teaches us the following lessons:

    #1. Zacchaeus is a better human being than many of his critics.
    #2. Jesus delights in showing mercy to people like Matthew and Zacchaeus.
    #3. Zacchaeus seized the opportunity of his accusations to volunteer a restitution. His wealth did not possess Zacchaeus.
    #4. Zacchaeus welcomes Jesus in his home with joy. How do we welcome Jesus after Holy Communion?

    Jesus shows His delight with Zacchaeus by saying:
    “Today salvation has come to this house because this man too is a descendant of Abraham. For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save what was lost.”

    The Son of Man came to seek and save the likes of Zacchaeus and Matthew and us.

    "Make it your first care to find the kingdom of God. Matthew 6:33 The kingdom of God is present in all its fullness, though in a hidden manner, in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. He who seeks out My Eucharistic presence is seeking the kingdom of God. He who approaches Me in the Sacrament of My love will find the kingdom and therein all that he desires according to My Spirit. Come first to Me in the Sacrament of My love. Let this become the supernatural instinct of your soul: always to come to Me, always to seek My Eucharistic Face." (IN SINU JESU, Monday, August 25, 2008).
