Father Broom reminds the people attending the wedding WHO Holy Communion truly is. We receive Jesus Christ in Holy Communion so we must approach with reverence and dignity. We can beg for greater faith and love every Communion. We should receive as if this were our First Communion, our last Communion and our only Communion.

For those not disposed to receive Jesus, Father invites them to Confession.

Father Broom preaches a wedding homily on the Three C’s of a happy marriage.

The first is Commitment – Divorce is word that should never be in the vocabulary of Catholic married couple. Marriage is for life.

The second is communication. Every couple needs to learn to communicate honestly and well with each other.

The third is the most important: To have a happy, healthy, holy marriage it must be Christ centered. Christ must be Number One in the heart of both Bride and Groom.

Father Broom preaches on the Kingdom of God. We have many images for the Kingdom – Heaven is the one we 1st think of. But the Kingdom of God is present in the Tabernacle… God lives there. The Kingdom is present the hands of the priest in the Consecration. It is present in the the baptized baby incapable of sinning…. yet. It is present in us when we are in a state of sanctifying grace. The Kingdom of God is present in every Holy Communion.

This day, Nov. 15, is the feast day of St. Albert the Great… he was the greatest scholar in the world and an expert in all of the sciences, mathematics, philosophy, and theology. He taught St. Thomas Aquinas. But he was a poor student until he asked the Blessed Virgin Mary to help him.
