from fr. Anthony kadavil, St. John the Baptist Church, poB 417, 12450 hwy 188, grand Bay, Al 36541

The main theme of today’s Gospel is that true humility and repentance for our sins must be the hallmark of our prayers.

However, the central focus of today’s parable is not on prayer itself, but rather on the evil of pride, the need for true humility and the role of God’s grace in our salvation.

truly humble of heart

Dorothy Day died in November 1980 at the age of 84. Report- ing on her death, the New York Times called her the most influential person in the history of American Catholicism.

In her book, From union Square to Rome, she describes her conversion to Christ. One of her first attractions came in childhood. One day she discovered the mother of one of her girlfriends kneeling in prayer. The sight of this kneeling wom- an moved her deeply. She never forgot it.

In the same book she tells how, in the days before her con- version, she often spent the entire night in a tavern. Then she would go to an early morning Mass at St. Joseph’s Church on Sixth Avenue. What attracted her to St. Joseph’s were the peo- ple kneeling in prayer. She writes: “I longed for their Faith…

So, I used to go in and kneel in a back pew.”

Eventually Dorothy Day received the gift of Faith and entered the Church. (Mark Link in Sunday Homilies)

proud boxer

Muhammad Ali had just won another boxing title. He used to boast: “When you are great and famous like me, it is hard to be humble.” Once, on the airplane, the stewardess politely said to him, ” Sir, you need to fasten your seat belt.” Ali replied,

“Superman doesn’t need a seat belt.” To which the stewardess politely responded, “And Superman doesn’t need an airplane either; please fasten your seat belt, Sir.”

Joke of the week

The Pharisee in the parish office: A farmer entered the local Church and spoke to the Church secretary: “I’d like to speak to the Head Hog at the Trough.” The secretary was quite taken aback and responded to the farmer, “Sir, we have no one here by that name.” “If you are referring to the priest in charge of this parish, we always respectfully call him Father or Pastor.”

“Fine, ma’am, but I want to talk to the person who will take my $25,000 donation for your church.” Immediately the sec- retary responded, “Dearie! Please take a seat and just wait a second. Our Fat Pig will be here with you at once!”
