Father Broom reminds us that Christ says that He is the light of the World…. but we must be the light of the world also. Our light must be light reflected from Jesus Christ… just as the Moon only reflects the light of the Sun.

If we are to reflect His light we must be open to “hear” Him and to Listen to the inspirations of the Holy Spirit. We must recognize those inspirations and act on them quickly.

Father Broom preaches on the Feast Day of St. Matthew, September 21. Matthew the rich tax collector left everything to follow Christ.

Because of his YES to the call, he became one of the original Apostles, an Evangelist, a Missionary, and a Martyr! But most of all he received the gift a deep friendship with Jesus Christ – a friendship that will last forever and ever and ever in Heaven!

Let us pray to receive the virtue of magnanimity – that is generosity with great courage!

Father Broom’s homily on September 20, 2o12 is based on the Gospel of the day – Luke 7: 36-50. This is the story of the woman who is a public sinner who seeks Jesus out in the home of the Pharisee… her tears clean the feet of Jesus, she drys his feet with her hair and anoint his feet.

How humble she is and how merciful Jesus is to her. A broken and contrite heart He will not spurn.

“The Measure of Love is to Love without Measure.”
St. Francis De Sales

St. Vincent de Paul, a close friend of St. Francis De Sales, said that to see Francis was to see the heart of Christ. Francis was known as the “Gentleman Saint” for his great kindness and patience – virtues he acquired by diligent prayer, mortification and self control.

If Francis could learn to love so can we. We can lead the life of love….
feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, instructing the ignorant, loving the outcast. So that God will say to us “You loved without measure, well done my good and faithful servant. Enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
