Father Anthony with Cristina and Tony are joined by Alice Babij (Bobby).  Father welcomes us and mentions the positive feedback he’s received regarding the student’s reverent behavior when they attend Church events at other Churches, the effect of the school’s core teachings in Catholicism. After Prayer, Alice returns today to share the book, “The Three Marys at the Foot of the Cross” by Fr. Scott Haynes.  In the book, Fr. Haynes invites women to walk spiritually to Calgary alongside these women.  In the reflections we come to see that feminine love, when tested by suffering, is one of the strongest loves found. We see through scripture, that these women demonstrated fidelity, sacrifice and hope.  Their example shows that when Love remains-God is nearby. The book is available at priestleypress.com.

Father Koys takes us on another “brain wrinkling” walk as he discusses the importance of educating young Catholics on the numerous heresies of the Church and how to confront them in our modern day. Father Koys dives in particular to the Heresy of Modernism and the challenge of explaining the negative part of Modernism to today’s youth. He explains Modernism as matter of Novelty vs Tradition, novelty comes and goes but tradition is timeless, both new and old. Father Koys further goes into the aspect of Agnosticism in the Modernist heresy, on the notion that religion is not found outside us but comes from within and that the Church understands man’s reason is flawed and subject to a higher intellect than himself.

Father Anthony with Cristina and Tony regroup today after the weekend to discuss the goings on, and people in the Parish.  Father greets everyone and chats briefly about viewing the movie, A Great Day.  He then focuses on the challenges of living a Godly life and refers to the readings from Sunday.  He discusses the readings and unpacks them and their application to our lives. He reflects on the harshness of the words in Matthew 15:21-28, explaining the importance of the harshness of these words as Jesus works to establish the new covenant setting an example for the disciples.  Father Anthony asks us, “When the world sees us, do they see that we are Catholic?  They discuss what that means and for us to be conscious of whether we are truly leading Christian lives as were called to as Catholics.
