Father Broom preaches on the Gospel of Lazarus and the Rich Man.

The rich man (who has no name) ends up in Hell – more for what he didn’t do than what he did do. Sins of Omission.

What am I failing to do in my prayer life? What acts of charity towards my neighbor am I neglecting? Where is my apostolic zeal so weak that I am not constantly striving to save souls? What am I not doing?

Father Broom speaks about the jealousy and rivalry among the Apostles of Jesus. Those divisions were cured when the Holy Spirit came on Pentecost. Those same Apostles who had resentments ans rivalries were now unified because they had spent nine days praying with Mary in preparation for Pentecost.

If we have jealousy, rivalries, or divisions in our family or within the Church, our remedy to restore unity is Mary… Pray to Mary and Pray with Mary!

Father Broom preaches on the Transfiguration of Our Lord on Mount Tabor.
Present at this scene are His three closest friends – St. Peter, St. John, and St. James.

Pope Benedict has pointed us to the reality that our spiritual life is nothing other than developing a deep friendship with Jesus Christ. If we have that friendship we will have a happy and holy death and spend all eternity with Mary and Jesus.
