Saint Benedict- Patron Saint of Europe. Father of Western Monasticism.
His Motto: Pray and Work!

His spirituality, leadership and holiness were instrumental in saving the Christian culture of Europe from the barbarians. It is small wonder that our current Pope took his name as he faces the forces of neo-paganism and the modern barbarians of secularism, licentiousness, and mindless materialism.

Father Broom preaches on Matthew 9: 18-26 – The healing of the woman with hemorrhages and the raising from the dead of the daughter of Jairus. Jesus is the healer of the body, the mind, the emotions, and most of all of the soul. He wants us to be healed through His Word and through His Sacraments. But then we are to be healers too….. that we will bring the healing love of Jesus to all we know and meet.

Father Broom, in his Friday evening Perseverance talk, introduces the Counsels- the practices we must do – to fortify our bodies and our souls for the struggles we have- both small and large.

Our Spiritual life is a battle – with the world, the flesh, the devil and with sometimes our biggest enemy, OURSELVES!

It is time to go to training camp to sharpen up our skills and abilities.

This Saint was committed to chastity and poverty even as a child. He had a mother who was widowed at 18 and dedicated her life to making him a saint. He was a physician, a Founder of a Religious Community called the Barnabites, and was a fiery preacher like his model St. Paul. He knew that he had to set all on fire! He promoted the Forty Hour Devotion and Eucharistic adoration. He is a model for us – Father Broom prays that we will become great saints and save many souls!
