THE TRIB TIMES WILL RETURN IN TWO WEEKS, GOD WILLING (James 4:15).

(Mat 9:37-38) Then he saith to his disciples, The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest.

REFLECTION by Father TedJune 16, 2010:

My dearest Lord Jesus, thank You for allowing me to take part in the Meeting for Priests in Rome last week – in preparation for the ending of the Year for the Priest.

Thank You for allowing me to join over 10,000 priests for this meeting - held in two of Your great Basilicas in Rome, namely Saint John Lateran and Saint Paul Outside the Wall.

Thank You for allowing us to join our Holy Father on Thursday night for the Vigil Service at the Vatican Plaza.

Thank You for allowing us to concelebrate Holy Mass with the Holy Father on Friday, June 11th, the Solemnity of Your Most Sacred Heart.

You have reminded us not only of Your tremendous love for us, but also of the incredible dignity that You have given to us who share in Your Holy Priesthood; as well as the awesome responsibility that we have received to sanctify Your Holy People.

You have revealed to us the incredible love that You, Your Father, and Your Holy Spirit have for us.

As You have so often reminded me – we are not only made in Your image, after Your likeness, but we have been chosen to share in Your Divine life – not only here on earth but also in heaven.

We have been called to be holy, all of us.

We have been given the ability to become holy - through Your Holy Church.

You have given to us the Way and the Means to become holy ourselves and to help others to become holy as well.

This is our vocation.  This is our calling.  This is the purpose why You have created each one of us.

Lord Jesus, help us each day to realize what a gift each day is – to know You, to love You, and to serve You.

Jesus, help us each day to make time to be with You.

Jesus, help us each day to recognize all the helps and graces that You provide for us.

Jesus, help us each day to take advantage of all these helps and all these graces that You offer to us to love You and to love our brothers and sisters by serving them.

Through the intercession of Your Mother, the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, and through the intercession of all the saints in heaven, may we sanctify Your World and assist all of mankind to live under the banner of Your Infinite Love.

May Your Will be done by each one of us, now and forever.

Ladder of Divine Ascent excerpt: Step 26- "On discernment of thoughts, passions, and virtues"

59. We should not be distressed if, in asking the Lord for something, we remain for a time unheard. It would have pleased the Lord if all men in a single moment had become dispassionate; however, His foreknowledge told Him that this would not be for their good.
