Pope Benedict XVI on St Paul and Justification
"It is precisely because of this personal experience of the relationship with Jesus that Paul places at the center of his Gospel an irreducible opposition between two alternative paths to justice: one based on the works of the law, the other founded on the grace of faith in Christ."

Update on "The Francesco Sessions"
Father brought a jam with him he got while on the plane ride over. It's got a hook based off Psalm 36.
"We feast on the rich food of your house; from your delightful stream you give us drink.
For with you is the fountain of life, and in your light we see light."
It's like Am / G / F / E7...with a cool interlude section as well as a funky breakdown.
It ends with a double time samba...Dm / Am.
The vocals r hot. Father sings so well in unison and harmony with himself it's scary!
If u click on the picture above u can c all the vocal tracks...that's alot of air.
But as many of u know, 4 Father that's nothing!!! Pray 4 us 2day...

Pope Benedict XVI's general prayer intention for October is: "That the Synod of Bishops may help the pastors and theologians, the catechists and promoters who are engaged in the service of the Word of God to courageously transmit the truth of faith in communion with the entire Church."
His mission intention is: "That in this month dedicated to the missions, through the promotional activities of the Pontifical Missionary Works and other organisms, every Christian community may feel the need to participate in the Church's universal mission with prayer, sacrifice and concrete help."
Sep 21, 2008
"The altar of sacrifice becomes in a certain way the point of encounter between heaven and earth; the center, we could say, of the one Church that is at the same time heavenly and in pilgrimage on earth, where, in the midst of the persecutions of the world and God's consolations, the Lord's disciples proclaim his passion and death until he returns in glory." - Papal Homily at Albano Cathedral in Spain 9.21.08

THE ASSUMPTION
At the Council of Chalcedon in 451, when bishops from throughout the Mediterranean world gathered in Constantinople, Emperor Marcian asked the Patriarch of Jerusalem to bring the relics of Mary to Constantinople to be enshrined in the capitol. The patriarch explained to the emperor that there were no relics of Mary in Jerusalem, that "Mary had died in the presence of the apostles; but her tomb, when opened later . . . was found empty and so the apostles concluded that the body was taken up into heaven."

Pope B16 - World Youth Day 2008 - (Excerpt Of The Day)
Holy Mass for the 23rd World Youth Day - Sydney, Australia
"The Church also needs this renewal! She needs your faith, your idealism and your generosity, so that she can always be young in the Spirit (cf. Lumen Gentium, 4)! In today’s second reading, the Apostle Paul reminds us that each and every Christian has received a gift meant for building up the Body of Christ. The Church especially needs the gifts of young people, all young people. She needs to grow in the power of the Spirit who even now gives joy to your youth and inspires you to serve the Lord with gladness. Open your hearts to that power! I address this plea in a special way to those of you whom the Lord is calling to the priesthood and the consecrated life. Do not be afraid to say “yes” to Jesus, to find your joy in doing his will, giving yourself completely to the pursuit of holiness, and using all your talents in the service of others!"

Vigil with the young people at Randwick Racecourse - Sydney, Australia
"The Holy Spirit is God eternally giving himself; like
a never-ending spring he pours four nothing less than himself. In view of this ceaseless gift, we come to see the limitations of all that perishes, the folly of the consumerist mindset. We begin to understand why the quest for novelty leaves us unsatisfied and wanting. Are we not looking for an eternal gift? The spring that will never run dry?"

Ecumenical Meeting - Sydney, Australia
"We must guard against any temptation to view doctrine as divisive and hence an impediment to the seemingly more pressing and immediate task of improving the world in which we live. In fact, the history of the Church demonstrates that praxis is not only inseparable from, but actually flows out of didache or teaching. The more closely we strive for a deeper understanding of the divine mysteries, the more eloquently our works of charity will speak of God’s bountiful goodness and love towards all."

Opening Ceremony - Sydney , Australia
"There is also something sinister which stems from the fact that freedom and tolerance are so often separated from truth. This is fueled by the notion, widely held today, that there are no absolute truths to guide our lives. Relativism, by indiscriminately giving value to practically everything, has made “experience” all-important. Yet, experiences, detached from any consideration of what is good or true, can lead, not to genuine freedom, but to moral or intellectual confusion, to a lowering of standards, to a loss of self-respect, and even to despair."

Speaking with a bass player friend of mine on Corpus Christi Sunday after a cool set, he asked how things were since i had not seen him in a while...i started speaking and blessing after blessing was coming out my mouth! The Lord has blessed me and my family with health, love, faith, gigs, family...so much 2 list. And almost immediately i know all the sins of my past and how i am thankful 2 God 4 His mercy. All i have is His from here on out. Of course my family, my 3 children pictured below, my marriage, all consecrated 2 God. The music in my life as u know, is also His. I do it 4 Him and with Him and in Him...everytime i sit at the piano or the drums i say a prayer and offer it up 2 Jesus. I know now that this gift of music is 4 His glory...so here is some glory from Holy Trinity Sunday on a gig with a native of my hometown Mr. Bill Bell...

B16 has had a couple of opps 2 speak about the art of music...here is a snippet from 5.7.08 taken from here
"Music, and art in general, can serve as a privileged instrument for encounter and reciprocal knowledge and esteem between different populations and cultures; a means attainable by all for valuing the universal language of art," - Pope Benedict XVI
Happy Birthday 2 my sister Bird!!!

A man who fails to love the Mass fails to love Christ. We must make an effort to "live" the Mass with calm and serenity, with devotion and affection. And this is why I have always suspected that those who want the Mass to be over with quickly show, with this insensitive attitude, that they have not yet realized what the sacrifice of the altar means.– St. Josemaria Escriva
Apr 20, 2008
U can b the President...I'd rather b the Pope!

The devil will try to upset you by accusing you of being unworthy of the blessings that you have received. Simply remain cheerful and do your best to ignore the devil's nagging. If need be even laugh at the absurdity of the situation. Satan, the epitome of sin itself, accuses you of unworthiness! When the devil reminds you of your past, remind him of his future!

The New Life in Christ (COLOSSIANS 3:1-4)
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

The Guard at the Tomb (MATTHEW 27:62-66)
Next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate and said, "Sir, we remember how that impostor said, while he was still alive, `After three days I will rise again.' Therefore order the sepulchre to be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples go and steal him away, and tell the people, `He has risen from the dead,' and the last fraud will be worse than the first." Pilate said to them, "You have a guard of soldiers; go, make it as secure as you can." So they went and made the sepulchre secure by sealing the stone and setting a guard.

The liturgy of Palm Sunday is like a formal entrance into Holy Week. It combines two contrasting moments: the welcome of Jesus in Jerusalem and the drama of the Passion; the festive "Hosanna" and the repeated cry: "Crucify him!"; the triumphal entry and the apparent defeat through death on the Cross. The liturgy thus anticipates the "hour" in which the Messiah was to suffer greatly, to be put to death, and on the third day to rise again (cf. Mt 16: 21), and prepares us to live fully the paschal mystery… In a certain way, Jerusalem can be considered the city-symbol of humanity, especially at this dramatic beginning of the third millennium that we are living. The Palm Sunday rites thus acquire a special eloquence of their own. The words of the Prophet Zechariah ring out as a consolation: "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! / Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! / Behold, your king comes to you; /triumphant and victorious is he, / humble and riding on an ass, / ...the battle bow shall be cut off, / and he shall command peace to the nations" (Zec 9: 9-10). Today we are celebrating, for today Jesus, the King of peace, enters Jerusalem.

You must be constant and demanding with yourself in your regular practices of piety, also when you feel tired or they seem to be arid. Persevere! Those moments are like the tall red—painted poles which serve as markers along the mountain roads when there are heavy snowfalls. They are always there to show where it is safe to go. - St. JosemarÃa Escrivá

So much 2 post...so little time
As u may know, Kyle and Dan of the famed duo group Popple visited m3 studios last week.
Along with rehearsing 4 a show, i wanted 2 write a song especially written with them in mind and try 2 record it while they were here. Thus, the Lenten song entitled ' I will walk with U ' was born. Joining Popple on guitar is their good friend (and now mine) Kyle Murphy. Download this track here -> I Will Walk With U - mp3

Ever since, whenever Father is nearby i try 2 meet with him and set up a jam session so we can play 2gether. Thanks b 2 God 4 Jamie Hopkins (drums), wife MARY, their children and Java Joe's CoffeeHouse in Des Moines, Ia. We were able 2 jam 4 almost 2 hours. The bootleg audio will b released on my SoundClick page by next week. Until then, here's a sample...

LENT 2008
here we r Catholic Brothers and Sisters...Lent begins Wednesday...r beloved B16 says Almsgiving is the key...
this is an excerpt taken from his 2008 Message For Lent
3. The Gospel highlights a typical feature of Christian almsgiving: it must be hidden: “Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,” Jesus asserts, “so that your alms may be done in secret” (Mt 6,3-4). Just a short while before, He said not to boast of one’s own good works so as not to risk being deprived of the heavenly reward (cf. Mt 6,1-2). The disciple is to be concerned with God’s greater glory. Jesus warns: “In this way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven” (Mt 5,16). Everything, then, must be done for God’s glory and not our own. This understanding, dear brothers and sisters, must accompany every gesture of help to our neighbor, avoiding that it becomes a means to make ourselves the center of attention. If, in accomplishing a good deed, we do not have as our goal God’s glory and the real well being of our brothers and sisters, looking rather for a return of personal interest or simply of applause, we place ourselves outside of the Gospel vision. In today’s world of images, attentive vigilance is required, since this temptation is great. Almsgiving, according to the Gospel, is not mere philanthropy: rather it is a concrete expression of charity, a theological virtue that demands interior conversion to love of God and neighbor, in imitation of Jesus Christ, who, dying on the cross, gave His entire self for us. How could we not thank God for the many people who silently, far from the gaze of the media world, fulfill, with this spirit, generous actions in support of one’s neighbor in difficulty? There is little use in giving one’s personal goods to others if it leads to a heart puffed up in vainglory: for this reason, the one, who knows that God “sees in secret” and in secret will reward, does not seek human recognition for works of mercy.
