Importance of Silence

February 15, 2017 by Fr. Ben Cameron 3 Comments

In our modern world, we are literally surrounded by noise.  We have the sounds of computers, printers, radio, music, television, cars — you name it, we are surrounded by constant sounds.  But we need silence in order to hear the “still, small voice, ” the “tiny, whispering sound” — the voice of God.  Without silence, […]

St. Anthony of Egypt

The Church celebrates the feast day of St. Anthony of Egypt on January 17th.  St. Anthony is called the “Father of Monasticism,” and is seen as the one of the great men known as the “Desert Fathers.” Anthony was born into a wealthy family, but after the death of his parents, he heard the call […]

The “O Antiphons” of Advent

December 17, 2016 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

The “O Antiphons” of Advent

One of the Church’s ancient liturgical traditions, dating back to at least the 8th century, is the use of the “O Antiphons” for this final week of Advent — our final preparation for the coming of Christ at Christmas.  Each of these antiphons points to a Scriptural title of Christ found in the Book of […]

St. Monica & St. Augustine

One of the patron saints of the Confraternity of Our Lady of Mercy is St. Augustine of Hippo. He was chosen to be one of our patrons because he was a sinner – a sexual addict, who kept a mistress for about twenty years – who, through the Mercy of God was converted and became […]

Transfiguration of the Lord

August 8, 2016 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

On August 6th, the Church celebrated the mystery of the Transfiguration of Our Lord Jesus Christ upon Mount Tabor. Jesus had taken the “inner circle” of His disciples, Peter, James and John, up the mountain, and there “He was transfigured before them. And His clothes became dazzlingly white, such as no fuller on earth could […]

Birth of St. John the Baptist

Birth of St. John the Baptist

Today the Church celebrates the ancient feast day in which we commemorate the birth of St. John the Baptist. Normally, the Church celebrates the day in which a saint left this world to enter our true and heavenly homeland. But today the Church celebrates the birth of St. John into this world of time. Why […]

Fatima’s message for us — 99 years later

May 11, 2016 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

The message delivered by Our Lady of Fatima, beginning on May 13, 1917, still applies to us today, a full 99 years later.  It is a message of prayer, especially prayer and penance for the conversion of sinners.  In a very real way, it reminds us of the words of Our Lord Jesus when He […]

Spiritual Works of Mercy: To Bear Wrongs Patiently

September 15, 2015 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

One of the Works of Mercy that can be the hardest to live, but is absolutely necessary for all of us is to “Bear Wrongs Patiently.”  There are many times in our lives in which people mistreat us, or speak to us in ways that might hurt our feelings.  And so often … we just […]

Corporal Works of Mercy: Shelter the Homeless

September 1, 2015 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

The fourth Corporal Work of Mercy is “Shelter the Homeless,” but in some older listings, it is “Harbor the Harbor-less.”  What, essentially, does it mean? Down through history, there have always been a certain number of people who were homeless, or, for those who were sailing but didn’t have a home port, they were “harbor-less.”  […]

Spiritual Works of Mercy: Admonish the Sinner

August 15, 2015 by Fr. Ben Cameron Leave a Comment

Spiritual Works of Mercy:  Admonish the Sinner

One of the most difficult Works of Mercy for any of us to perform is to “Admonish the Sinner.”  It is very difficult to correct someone, especially when the thing they are doing is morally wrong!  Oh, we can correct someone for holding their knife and fork incorrectly, or for chewing with their mouth open, […]

Conversion of St. Paul

Conversion of St. Paul

Who would have ever expected that the man who supervised the murder of St. Stephen, the first martyrdom of a Christian, would have ever become a Christian himself?  Yet one day, on the road to Damascus on a mission of persecution, Saul of Tarsus had a vision and heard a voice:  “Saul, Saul, why are […]

“Rejoice in the Lord always!” Celebrating Gaudete Sunday

The holy season of Advent is a time of preparation and waiting — preparation for the coming of Christ our Savior, and waiting with anticipation the joy of His coming.  We prepare our hearts for three comings of our Savior: His first coming as a little child — we prepare to celebrate Christmas, not as […]

Mary at the Foot of the Cross

Mary at the Foot of the Cross

On September 15th, the Catholic Church honored Mary as “Our Lady of Sorrows.”  When we are suffering, and especially when we are grieving the death of a loved one, such as the loss of an unborn child through abortion, miscarriage or stillbirth, we can join our sorrows with those of Mary at the foot of […]
