Pope in Santa Marta: Christian life is a daily
struggle against temptations
EXTRACTS FROM PAPAL HOMILY
"Was this crowd going to see Jesus? Yes! Did they have needs? Yes!
Some
were curious, but these were the skeptics, the minority ... But
this crowd
was attracted by the Father: it was the Father who attracted people
to
Jesus. To the point that Jesus did not remain indifferent. Was He
like a
static teacher who spoke His words and then washed His hands? No!
This
crowd touched the heart of Jesus. The same Gospel tells us: 'Jesus
was
moved because he saw these people as sheep without a shepherd.' And
the
Father, through the Holy Spirit, drew people to Jesus. "
"This is the truth; this is the reality that each of us feels when
approaching
Jesus. The unclean spirits try to prevent it, waging war against
us. 'But,
Father, I'm very Catholic; I always go to Mass... but I never,
never have
these temptations. Thank God, no!' 'Pray, because you're on the
wrong
path!' A Christian life without temptation is not a Christian: he
is
ideological, he is Gnostic, but he is not Christian. When the
Father draws
people to Jesus, there is another who is attracting on the contrary
and
wages war! This is why Paul speaks of the Christian life as a
struggle: a
struggle everyday. A fight!"
"Let's think about our heart: Do I feel this struggle in my heart?
Between
comfort and service to others, between other fun things or praying
and
worshiping the Father. Do I feel the struggle between one thing
and
another? The desire to do good or something that stops me; do I
have
self-discipline? I believe that my life moves the heart of Jesus?
If I do not
believe this, I have to pray a lot to believe it, to receive this
grace. Each of
us look in our heart to see the situation there. We ask the Lord to
be
Christians who are able to discern what happens in our own heart
and
choose the right path on which the Father draws us to Jesus."
"He came to destroy its influence in our hearts. So while the
Father is
attracting you to Jesus, the spirit of evil is seeking to destroy
that
attraction. May the Lord give us the grace to know how to discern
what is
going on in our hearts and to choose the right path upon which the
Father
draws us to Jesus.”

First Reading: Zephaniah 2:3; 3:12-13

the Lord shall pasture their flocks.
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 146:6-7, 8-9, 9-10
Blessed are the poor in spirit; the kingdom of heaven is
theirs!
Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 1:26-31
The weak of the world are chosen by God. “Whoever boasts, should
boast in the Lord.”
Gospel: Matthew 5:1-12a
Jesus upset the standards of worldly justice in this charter of the
heavenly reign: It belongs not to the rich but to the poor in
spirit, not to the powerful but to the lowly, not to
warmongers but to peacemakers.

Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace
downtown Honolulu
Bishop Larry Silva invites all to a special Mass on Thursday,
February 2,
2017, at 6:00 p.m. at the Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace.
In
addition to celebrating the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord
in the Temple (Candlemas Day), we will honor our newly named
Monsignor, Gary L. Secor, who was given the special honor of being
a Chaplain to His Holiness by Pope Francis. His
Investiture will take place at the beginning of the Mass. The Feast
of
the Presentation of the Lord is also the World Day of Prayer for
Consecrated Persons, so we invite all our Religious
Sisters, Brothers, Fathers, Consecrated Virgins Living in the
World, and Hermits to attend for a special blessing after the
homily.
The Cathedral Basilica is located at 1184 Bishop Street, Honolulu,
and validated parking is available in the Century Square Garage off
Bishop
Street, just makai of Beretania Street.
