Message (W1) The early Christians did many astounding things. They had the power from the Holy Spirit to perform miracles. They could heal the sick. They could
predict the future. They could speak in tongues. These were outstanding charisms or graces but the pagans were most impressed not by these
miracles but by the miracle of brotherly love. (Homily, June 9, 1991)
Message (W2) This spirit of Christ is a missionary spirit. We see this on the first Pentecost. There is a sound of a mighty wind, a great typhoon. No one can resist
the wind and it fills the whole earth. It goes to the ends of the earth and no one can stop it. The spirit of Christ is a missionary spirit. It is not locked;
it goes out farther and farther with great power and forcefulness. (Homily, Undated)

Message (W3) They would have to suffer persecution as did Jesus and so they realized that if they should be faithful to Jesus, they needed patience and zeal to work for this
kingdom and courage to suffer persecution. (Homily, Undated)
Message (W4) One is led to assume that Christ himself related the episode to the apostles because of its great importance in shedding light on the nature of the Church which
he had come to establish. And that nature , as we have seen, is neither power, wealth, nor prestige; but rather poverty, humility and service. ( Poverty: sign of

Message (W5) The society born from Christ will be founded not on luxury, power, or trust in temporal goods, but on the empty terrain of poverty which is supported by a
virtue that is wholly spiritual and helped and sustained from heaven. This is the economy of the gospel perpetuated in Ecclesia Pauperum, the Church of the
poor. John XXIII has proposed that the Ecumenical Council should take this theme for its meditation and reform. ( Poverty: sign of our times, 1970)
Message (W6) St. Augustine was a great man of God, a man of faith, a saint, and he always thought of these final mysteries. He thought of the reality after death, in the next
world. He spoke of God’s law of substitution. (Homily, September 6, 1989 )
Message (W7) His Church was to be a spiritual kingdom of poverty and humility whose strength and vitality can be measured only by the charity which burns in the hearts of its
members. ( Poverty: sign of our times, 1970)
Message (W8) From the very outset, Christ made it clear that the Church which he had come to establish was to be primarily a “poor man’s club.” His would be a Church of the
poor, but a Church of the poor open to everyone-including the rich and the middle class. ( Poverty: sign of our times, 1970)

Message (W1) St. Francis of Assisi passionately sought out what he himself referred to as “Donna Poverta” basically for one reason-in order to achieve deeper union with
Christ. ( Poverty: sign of our times, 1970)
Message (W2) But Saint Dominic understood that his mission in life is to try to convert these heretics and save the Church in this part of France. And so, he went to these
people, and all day, he preached to them and tried to persuade them. He tried to teach them. At night, he prayed for them. He did penance for them and he
achieved nothing. (Homily, Undated)
Message (W3) Throughout the history of the Church, the saints, with that penetrating insight which characterized them, always saw Christ in the person of the poor. ( Poverty:

Message (W4) St. Francis Xavier was filled with this burning zeal for souls. Jesus said, “I have come to cast fire on the earth and what will I but that it be kindled.”
This fire for souls, this zeal and this burning zeal for souls was in the heart of St. Francis Xavier. He went to India, to Sri Lanka, and then to Japan
and to China. He could not rest. He wanted to save all souls and he died exhausted and burned himself out in this effort to save souls. (Homily,
Undated, January 1, 1989)
Message (W5) Don’t spend too much time and effort cultivating the financial, political and intellectual elite. This elite has often proven illusory and, a time, has done
more harm than good to the Church. Concentrate rather on serving the poor- the only true “elite” in the Christian scheme of things. (Poverty: sign
of our times)
Message (W6) A Church of the poor, marked by poverty, humility, and service, is a Church of miracles. A Church of the rich and middle-class, marked by wealth
and triumphalism, is a Church which has lost its ‘elan and is as salt which has lost its savor. (Poverty: sign of our times, 1970)
Message (W7) Let us reflect on the life of Saint John Bosco. He did many marvelous things. He accomplished great works for Jesus. But his greatest
accomplishment was himself! The Saint John Bosco is the greatest gift to the church. This is greater than all his works combined, which gives
greater glory to Jesus! (Homily, January 31, 1991)
Message (W8) The Cure of Ars, St. John Vianney, went to his little parish in the country where there are so many sinners. As a young priest, he would fall before
the Blessed Sacrament and with tears in his eyes prayed, “My God, convert my people. Save the souls of my parishioners.” Day and night, he
prayed and did penance to save the souls of his parishioners(Homily, January 1, 1989)

Module 6: The Role and Mission of the Catholic Church
Week: 1 to 3
Number Hours: 6 hours

Message (W1) The Church is the “sacrament of Christ” and “the projection of Christ in time of space.” To be faithful to her mission the Church must mirror her Founder in all
things. As Christ, then, the Church too must be marked by the double sign of poverty and service of the poor. (Poverty: sign of our times,1970)
Message (W2) As I have mentioned repeatedly, you, in a sense, are now our Third Order. Our first order is the Sisters, the second order is the brothers and priests which we
hope to establish and the third order is composed of our children and our sick. We are one family in Christ. We are members of one another in this mystical
body of Christ. So, as members of our third order you must continue to be interested, to be involved and to help and assist spiritually, in the spirit of faith.
(Homily, November 7, 1990)
Message (W3) This, I would like to be my accomplishment rather than building buildings, and establishing Boystowns, Girlstowns, doing medical work in Korea, here (the
Philippines), if I could give God, give the Church just one saint, this would be a greater accomplishment, a greater feat. This is my ambition and I want it to be
your ambition. (Homily, September 18, 1988)

Message (W5) Frequently, the Protestants, the Fundamentalists, the Born-Again and the enemies of the Church, criticize the Catholic Church for its devotion to Mary. They are

Beatitudes and the Last Things

27
Module 10: The Beatitudes
Week: 1 & 4
Number Hours: 8 hours

Message (W1) Jesus is the man of the Beatitudes. On the mountain, Jesus, in effect, says, “If you wish to follow me, if you wish to imitate me and be like me, it is no longer
enough just to keep the Ten Commandments. You must go beyond the Ten Commandments. You must observe also the Eight Beatitudes. You must live by
them.” So, the magic number now for perfection, for holiness is eighteen. Remember this number. It is a secret number. It is the secret of holiness and
perfection – 18 – the Ten Commandments and Eight Beatitudes. (Homily, January 31, 1990)
Message (W2) We are called to climb this mountain of perfection. We are called to be spiritual climbers. We must follow Jesus at this mountain of holiness and we must reach
the peak of this mountain of the Lord. Jesus tells us that the way which leads to the top of this mountain is called the Beatitudes. By first keeping the
commandments of God, and then practicing the eight Beatitudes of Jesus, we come to resemble Jesus and become holy and perfect as Jesus. (Homily, Undated)
Message (W3) Jesus, in these Beatitudes, describes Himself. He is giving a living portrait of Himself in these beautiful words. What Jesus means is this: “As I am poor of spirit,
you too, must be poor of spirit. As I suffered, you too, must suffer. As I am meek, you must be meek,” and so on, “and you shall be blessed.” This means: “You
will be holy and perfect. You will be fully alive as me.” (Homily, January 28, 1990)
Message (W4) In conclusion, to become holy and to become truly perfect, it is no longer enough just to keep the Ten Commandments. This is the foundation, the beginning,
but this is not the end. You must go forward. You must advance. You must, as Jesus, live by the Eight Beatitudes. And first of all, you must empty your heart of
your own proud and selfish will and seek only the will of God. You must become a child of God, a servant of the Holy Spirit and a slave of Christ. Amen. (Homily,
January 28, 1990 )

Week: 5 to 8
Number Hours: 8 hours

Message (W5) Our life on earth is but an instant, a day. It is a time of testing, of trial. We must always bear in the back of our mind the thought of God’s judgment. We must
think that “Tonight, I will die and I will stand alone before God. He will judge me by every thought, word and deed that I have done. He will judge me by the evil I
have done and by the good I have not done. I must constantly think of this and respectfully, humbly fear God, in order that I might never sin.” (Homily,
September 6, 1989)
Message (W6) We should think frequently of these final mysteries. We should love to meditate upon them. They should always be in the back of our minds. If we never think
of these final mysteries then our life becomes meaningless and without direction. And we become truly stupid and foolish. (Homily, August 26, 1989)
Message (W7) Think about them seriously. Live life with the sense of urgency, with this idea of the final exam, this judgment, this eternal evaluation which we must pass.
“Remember man your final end you shall never sin.” (Volume 2 – Last Mystery IV, Fear of the Lord II (Homily, Undated))
Message (W8) Let us be determined to pass directly from earth to heaven without going to purgatory. Let us resolve, let us be determined to become saints. (Homily, Undated)
