Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen said that the dynamic of our Faith is: Come and then Go! We come to Christ in the Sacraments particularly in the Mass then we can go out to the whole world to announce the good news of His redemption of us.

Father Broom preaches on our missionary call. Jesus sent the 72 and He is sending us! Beg for the grace to be a missionary like Bishop Sheen.

Father Broom teaches us about St. Paul Miki and his twenty five companions who were crucified as martyrs in Japan in 1597. There was a thriving Cat5holic community in Japan by this time. This was made possible by the heroic missionary, St. Francis Xavier who had died only some 40 years before.

We are called to be missionaries in our families, our neighborhoods, our city, and to the whole world. St. Paul Miki and his companions marched to their deaths carrying the crosses on which they would be crucified. And all the time they marched they sang hymns and the psalms praising God.

Father Broom preaches on the Gospel Mark 5:21-43 – The Miracle of healing the woman with a hemorrhage and the Miracle of raising the daughter of Jairus. What power there is when our faith is as strong as that woman and Jairus. This should encourage us to persevere like they did. They sought Jesus even amidst defeat. We have a “Cloud of Witnesses” cheering us on to finish the race with our faith strong.

Father Ed Broom speaks about one of the most well known passages in the Letters of St. Paul – 1 Corinthians 12:31 to 13:13. What is love is the topic. Love is kind….. love is patient… it does not seek its own interests etc.

The greatest love that St. Paul is speaking of – Agape – is sacrificial love. It is the love that Christ has for each of us…. it is how we are to love one another as He loved us. He loved us even to His Passion and Death, Death on the Holy Cross.
