Father Broom tells us that Mary, the Mother of God was the one who kept the Hope of the Resurrection alive on Holy Saturday – we dedicate every Saturday to her for this reason.

St. Ignatius and many of the Doctors of the Church believe that Our Lord’s 1st appearance on Easter was to this beacon of hope… Mary – His Mother and Our Mother.

”It seems unbelievable that a man should perish in whose favor Christ said to His Mother: ‘Behold thy son’, provided that he has not turned a deaf ear to the words, which Christ addressed to him: ‘Behold thy Mother.’”
–Saint Robert Bellarmine, Cardinal-Bishop and Doctor of the Church

Father Broom preaches on the passage in Luke on Martha and Mary…
Our Lord says Mary chose the better part. Spending time with Him – Listening to Him – pouring our her heart to Him.

She is the model for our daily Holy Hour – Sixty minutes of choosing the better part… silent meditative prayer… spending time with the one who loves us and whom we love most of all.

Father Broom in his Sunday, 10/07/12, homily gives a dynamic explanation of the Five Non Negotiables of Catholic Christian voting. Cloning, Embryonic Stem Cell Experimentation, Abortion, Same Sex “Marriage”,and Euthanasia.
These five practices are all intrinsically evil and must never be promoted by our votes.

Father Broom preaches on Day Four of our Novena to the Mother of God for our our Country. Today’s episode from the life of Mary is the Visitation. We see the young unwed mother (Mary) and the woman past the normal years of child bearing (Elizabeth) celebrating with great joy the miracle of God’s work in each of them.

Today we pray for an end to abortion… these two women would be prime targets of the abortion promoters. They said “yes” to God and they said “yes” to life. Pray that each of us will do God’s will and be open to life.

Father Broom in his Friday Evening Perseverance Talk gives us the life of the great Secretary of Divine Mercy – Saint Faustina Kowalska – 1905- 1938.
She was the first Saint canonized in the new Millennium. She was canonized on Mercy Sunday, 2000, by Blessed Pope John Paul II.

Jesus called her to spread His message of Mercy throughout the whole world. Because of that today we have her “Diary of Divine Mercy in My Soul.” We are the recipients of His great Mercy and we are called to practice Mercy every day.
