Daily Readings & Homilies in Your Inbox
Posted by Danielle Bean in Faith on Monday, June 13, 2011
This is my friend Fr. Augustine Measures, OSB, whom I met online over five years ago.
I stole this photo from his Facebook page. Isn’t he just perfectly awesome? I would say handsome, but I don’t want to embarrass him.
A Benedictine monk, Fr. Augustine lives in the U.K. and he has always had a special place in his heart for Catholic families. He calls me at home occasionally, and I am always charmed by this loving priest’s thoughtfulness and spiritual care for moms and their families.
One of the ways Fr. Augustine provides that spiritual care for families is through the daily recordings he makes of the readings and his homilies at Mass. Even at 83 years old, this retired priest is undaunted by technology. He makes digital recordings of his homilies and shares them with an email list daily.
He told me he knows many moms and others aren’t able to get to daily Mass and it makes him happy to provide this service for them. If you would like to receive these recordings daily via email, please .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) and ask to be put on his list. You will be glad you did!
All She Had

Calling his disciples to himself, he said to them, “Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the other contributors to the treasury. For they have all contributed from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had, her whole livelihood.”
—Mark 12:43-44
Lord, we want to please you. Help us to give all we have too.

'Follow Me'

Jesus said to them, “The cup that I drink, you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; but to sit at my right or at my left is not mine to give but is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
—Mark 10:39-40
Lord, give us strength to follow you. Help us to love as You love.
'I Will Give You Rest'
Posted by Danielle Bean in Faith on Sunday, October 04, 2009
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
—Matthew 11:28-30
When we forget, Lord, remind us that You alone can refresh our souls and it is only in You that we will find rest.
'Evil Things Come From Within'
Posted by Danielle Bean in Faith on Sunday, August 30, 2009
And he called the people to him again, and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand: there is nothing outside a man which by going into him can defile him; but the things which come out of a man are what defile him.” For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, fornication, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a man.”
—Mark 7:14-23
Lord, protect us from all evil.
