Fr. Peter Turrone
From the St. Ignatius Chapel at the Manresa Jesuit Spiritual Renewal Center in Pickering, Ontario. The National Catholic Broadcasting Council presents the Sunday TV Mass.
SPEAKER_01Welcome to the celebration of the Sunday TV Mass on the 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time. I'm Father Peter Turone. The televising of this Mass is made possible by the contribution from the estate of Josephine Mary Campanella of Burlington, Ontario. This Mass is offered for the repose of the souls of Josephine and her husband, James Joseph Campanella, and for the living and deceased members of their family. May their souls and the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
SPEAKER_07And with your Spirit.
SPEAKER_01Brothers and sisters, let us acknowledge our sins and so prepare ourselves to celebrate the sacred mysteries. I confess to Almighty God, and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do. Through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault. Therefore I ask the blessed Mary, ever virgin, all the angels and saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God. May Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life. Amen. Lord have mercy. Christ have mercy. Lord have mercy. Glory to God in the highest. And on earth, peace to people of good will. We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we glorify you, we give you thanks for your great glory. Lord God, Heavenly King, O God, Almighty Father, Lord Jesus Christ, only begotten Son. Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, you take away the sins of the world. Have mercy on us. You take away the sins of the world. Receive our prayer. You are seated at the right hand of the Father. Have mercy on us. For you alone are the Holy One. You alone are the Lord. You alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen. Let us pray. O God, who in the abasement of your Son have raised up a fallen world, fill your faithful with holy joy, for on those you have rescued from slavery to sin, you bestow eternal gladness. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever.
SPEAKER_02Amen. A reading from the book of the prophet Zechariah. Thus says the Lord, Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion. Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem. Lo, your king comes to you. Triumphant and victorious is he, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. He will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the war horse from Jerusalem, and the warrior's bow shall be cut off, and he shall command peace to the nations. His dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth. The word of the Lord.
SPEAKER_04And praise your name forever and ever. My king and my God. The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. The Lord is good to all, and his compassion is over all that he has made. I will bless your name forever, my king and my God.
SPEAKER_00Brothers and sisters, you are not in the flesh, you are in the spirit. Since the spirit of God dwells in you, anyone who does not have the spirit of Christ does not belong to him. If the Spirit of God who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his spirit that dwells in you. So then, brothers and sisters, we are debtors not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die. But if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. The word of the Lord.
SPEAKER_04You have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the kingdom.
SPEAKER_01The Lord be with you. A reading for the Holy Gospel according to Matthew. Glory to you, O Lord. At that time Jesus said, I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent, and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for such was your your gracious will. He continued, All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. The Gospel of the Lord. Yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. Many years ago, the great theologian Balthazar, Hans von Balthazar, wrote in one of his many, many uh works of theology, he said that, as a lamentation, he said, in the past, he said that the theologians of the past were saints. And he was lamenting that during his time there were many theologians, but very few were saints. And he was asking why this is the case. And he hides them from the wise and intelligent. What is our Lord saying to us here? What is Balthazar? What was he commenting on? Well, being intelligent is a good thing. We can be intelligent and understand the world, we can understand the way things operate. So there's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with being wisdom is one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. But the Lord isn't speaking of that. It's for those who pretend to believe that they know all things, that they themselves, again, are superior, and that they are self-sufficient, that they are lacking humility, so that they are not willing to listen and to learn from others, most especially from the Lord, because Jesus is speaking to his disciples, and we're in the eleventh chapter of Matthew, so the Lord is encountering difficulties. See, the people that are following him, they're the ones that are perceiving the work of the Holy Spirit in him. They're recognizing little by little who Jesus is. So they're overwhelmed and they're they're so attracted to that. So they're going all over the place, they're following wherever he goes, and they're learning all these things because they're open and they're humble. So they recognize that they are not God, that they are not self-sufficient, that they recognize their need for God, and therefore they can receive the Holy Spirit and everything that he wants to teach them. And when the Lord says again, he says he's revealed this, the Father reveals these things to infants. So what does it mean to be an infant? Well, the spirituality of Saint Therese of Lesieux is very instructive. In fact, I I know that some people, when you look at some of the images of Saint Therese, you think, well, she's fine for a certain group of people living in the past, you know, so I just don't identify with her. Right? The images are saccharine. I get it. But if you go and you read her writings and you look at her life, the way she lived it, and what God revealed to her, she became a doctor of the church. So she's a doctor of the church. So what the church is telling us is that what the Holy Spirit revealed to Saint Therese, right, this beautiful young woman who died at the age of 24 in a convent far away in France, in Lesieux, and even her own spiritual the the abbess said, we don't know what we're gonna write about her when she dies. She's so ordinary, she's so boring. And yet, right after she died, the spirituality that the Lord revealed to her has kind of gone all over the world, and millions of people follow it because it's the path of simplicity. So Jesus says he reveals these things, the father reveals these things to infants. So this spiritual childhood, this path, involves a few simple but very powerful things. First of all, we become children, right, God's children, through adoption. When Jesus says to Nicodemus, you don't have to go back to be born again, right? That's what Nicodemus was thinking. He was thinking in a very literal sense, no, no. So baptism is the beginning of our spiritual childhood. We become adopted sons and daughters of God. So when we recognize that now, we put ourselves in a position that when you hold a beautiful child, the baby, and you look at the way the baby looks at the mother and the father, in this case of the father, we're looking to the Lord with complete and total humility. So we recognize, we look to God and in awe. And we look to God, we recognize that He is God, that we are not, that He is all-loving, all-powerful, right? And He is the one that has come to save us. So when I recognize that God has created me, He loves me, and He wills me into existence, I can look at Him with awe, and then I can recognize again who I am, my true identity, your true identity in light of God. And then that leads us to learn to trust in God. So I can now look to the Lord and I recognize this like a little child, children don't doubt, little children, until they've been hurt, they don't doubt that their parents are going to provide. They expect that the love will be unconditional. Although it doesn't happen often, but they expect this, and they and this is something that's part of who they are. Again, until things change as they get older. But there's this trust, this full trust that God is going to provide, the parents are going to provide, dad's going to provide. And they have this total receptivity. So Saint Therese, she loved to pray and meditate on the infant Jesus. Why? Because when you look at Jesus, as a baby, right, he is God who's come and he's totally vulnerable. So he puts himself in a position where he has to make himself vulnerable to his own human parents. So God wants us to be vulnerable to him. And once we're vulnerable and we're receptive to receive everything God wants to give us, and we are able to be simple in the sense that we can have full trust, full humility, receptivity, and then I can be who I am in God. I don't have to pretend. I don't have to be delicitous. I know who I am in God, and therefore I can reveal myself openly to Him. And then I receive the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit reveals to me the depths of God. And it doesn't remain just at the level of the intellect. But what's happening is that now, how do I access God? How do I know the deepest things of God through love? If I have no love, I can study and study and be a theologian and still not believe. You know, in Senju Yesu, this beautiful meditation, this book, it says that even the devil is a theologian, but the devil has no love for who he's studying, who is God. So we ask St. Therese to intercede for us. We ask God for the grace to recognize the need to grow in childhood so that we can receive God's wisdom and most especially his love. So that he can reveal to us the depths of this plan that he has for us in the midst of our world, and we can also share that with others, so they too can experience the same hope that we do in our lives. Let us now profess our faith. I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day he rose again from the dead, he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there you will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen. Let us bring our prayers to God who created earth and all of its fullness. And the response is, Lord, hear our prayer.
SPEAKER_07Lord, hear our prayer.
SPEAKER_01For the Holy Catholic Church, as it continues to speak out against all that would destroy human dignity, rights, and human life, we pray to the Lord.
unknownLord, hear our prayer.
SPEAKER_01For those whose lives are plagued by doubt and despair, that they may have God's grace to help them. We pray to the Lord.
SPEAKER_07Lord hear our prayer.
SPEAKER_01For all those in our daily TV Mass Prayer Intentions book, we pray to the Lord.
SPEAKER_07Lord your prayer.
SPEAKER_01As a community prayer, let us give thanks for grandparents and elders like Saints Joachim and Anne, who nurture faith family across generations with quiet strength. We pray to the Lord. God of heaven and earth, you reward those with clean hands and pure hearts. In our unworthiness, we bring our prayers to you through Christ our Lord.
SPEAKER_06Amen.
SPEAKER_01May the sublation dedicated to your name purify us, O Lord, and day by day bring our conduct closer to the life of heaven. Through Christ our Lord.
SPEAKER_06Amen.
SPEAKER_01The Lord be with you. And with your spirit. Lift up your hearts. We live on the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right and just it is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere, to give you thanks. Lord, Holy Father, Almighty and Eternal God, through Christ our Lord. For through his paschal mystery, he accomplished the marvelous deed by which he has freed us from the yoke of sin and death, summoning us to the glory of being now called a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for your own possession, to proclaim everywhere your mighty works, for you have called us out of darkness into our own into your own wonderful light. And so, with angels and archangels, with thrones and dominions, and with all the hosts and powers of heaven, we sing to him of your glory, as without end we acclaim. Make holy, therefore, these gifts we pray, by sending down your spirit upon them like the doful, so that they may become for us the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. At the time he was betrayed and entered willingly into his passion. He took bread and giving thanks, broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, Take this, all of you, and eat of it. For this is my body, which will be given for you. In a similar way, when supper was ended, he took the chalice, and once more giving thanks, he gave it to his disciples, saying, Take this, all of you, and drink from it. For this is the chalice of my blood, the blood of the new and eternal covenant, which will be poured out for you and for many, for the forgiveness of sins. Do this in memory of me. Therefore, as we celebrate the memorial of his death and resurrection, we offer you, Lord, the bread of life and the chalice of salvation, giving thanks that you have held us worthy to be in your presence and minister to you. Humbly we pray that partaking of the body and blood of Christ, we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit. Remember, Lord, your church spread throughout the world, and bring her to the fullness of charity, together with Leo, our Pope, and Francis, our bishop, and all the clergy. Remember also our brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection, and all who have died in your mercy. Welcome them into the light of your face. Have mercy on us all, we pray, that with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, will bless Joseph, her spouse, with the blessed apostles, with Saint Therese of Lesieux, and all the saints who have pleased you throughout the ages. We may merit to be co-heirs to eternal life, and may praise and glorify you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Through him and with him and in him. O God, Almighty Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours for ever and ever.
SPEAKER_06Amen.
SPEAKER_01At the Savior's command, informed by divine teaching, we dare to say, Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil. Graciously grant peace in our days, that by the help of your mercy we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_07Now and forever.
SPEAKER_01Lord Jesus Christ, who said to your apostles, peace I leave you, my peace I give you. Look not on her sins, but on the fate of her church, and graciously grant her peace and unity in accordance with your will, who live and reign forever and ever.
unknownAmen.
SPEAKER_01The peace of the Lord be with you always. And your spirit. Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb.
SPEAKER_03My Jesus, I believe that you are present in this holy sacrament of the altar. I love you above all things, and I passionately desire to receive you into my soul. Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come spiritually into my soul, so that I may unite myself wholly to you now and forever. Amen.
SPEAKER_01Grant, we pray, O Lord, that having been replenished by such great gifts, we may gain the prize of salvation and never cease to praise you through Christ our Lord. Amen. The Lord be with you. May Almighty God bless you, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Go in peace.
SPEAKER_03Our thanks to our donors for the gift of this Mass.
