Jesus Christ is Wisdom Incarnate. In His divine Providence He draws all men to Himself through His Precious Blood shed upon the Cross. He exhorts us to do His will in all things. In order to discern the divine will we must constantly give ourselves over to prayer. Prayer is the life-blood of our souls. Prayer is what unites us to Jesus Christ and gives us strength and wisdom to carry out His will. Therefore when we pray we must always pray for wisdom-a wisdom that allows us to see as God sees. In fact, this is the grace we pray for when we meditate upon the fourth luminous mystery of the holy rosary. We ask that we see with the transforming vision of God, and not our own limited vision!
In Christo Jesu et
Maria Immaculata,
Father Jeff Fasching

Thank you to Jim Gillett who planned and organized the Procession of the Blessed Sacrament through the streets of Springfield! Thanks to all of you who participated and were involved in making this event with the Bishop a great success!
The Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus should prompt us to remember the infinite love which Jesus Christ shows us in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. When we consider the life of Christ-- His suffering, passion and death, we must realize He didn’t stop giving of Himself after He wrought our redemption. He instituted the Eucharist before He died so that He could be with us until the end of time.
Christ gave His life for us on the cross. He continues always to give of Himself in the Blessed Eucharist. In so doing He shares with us all of His blessings! “Come to me all you that labor and are burdened, and I will refresh you.” (Matt. 11:28). Christ gives Himself to us to be our strength and nourishment! When we possess Jesus Christ we possess all things!
Sincerely in Christ,
Father Jeff Fasching

The Gospel sums up Jesus’ life in Nazareth in just three words: erat subditus illis, He was obedient to them. “Jesus obeys, and He obeys Joseph and Mary. God has come to the world to obey, and to obey creatures. Admittedly they are very perfect creatures--Holy Mary, our mother, greater than all but God Himself; and that most chaste man Joseph. But still they are only creatures, and yet Jesus, who is God, obeyed them. We have to love God so as to love His will and desire to respond to His calls. They come to us through the duties of our ordinary life--duties of state, profession, work, family, social life, our own and other people’s difficulties, friendship, eagerness to do what is right and just” (Bl. J. Escriva, Christ is passing by, 17).
Jesus lived like any other citizen of Nazareth. He worked as a carpenter and earned His living by the sweat of His brow. He was obedient unto death. Obeying God’s will always means being unselfish. Obedience is also the first stage of wisdom. We know that Jesus during His hidden life all those years in Nazareth grew in wisdom and grace. This was because He always obeyed. We must follow His example of obedience particularly with regard to the teachings of His Church.
When we obey God’s commands we exercise wisdom and show our love for Him. Let us imitate Christ our Lord who was obedient unto death. Let us submit to the will of God in all things.

From a sermon by Saint Leo the Great, pope:
Dearly beloved, today our Savior is born; let us rejoice. Sadness should have no place on the birthday of life. The fear of death has been swallowed up; life brings us joy with the promise of eternal happiness.
No one is shut out from this joy; all share the same reason for rejoicing. Our Lord, victor over sin and death, finding no man free from sin, came to free us all. Let the saint rejoice as he sees the palm of victory at hand. Let the sinner be glad as he receives the offer of forgiveness. Let the pagan take courage as he is summoned to life.
In the fullness of time, chosen in the unfathomable depths of God’s wisdom, the Son of God took for Himself our common humanity in order to reconcile it with its creator. He came to overthrow the devil, the origin of death, in that very nature by which he had overthrown mankind.
And so at the birth of our Lord the angels sing in joy: Glory to God in the highest, and they proclaim peace to His people on earth as they see the heavenly Jerusalem being built from all the nations of the world. When the angels on high are so exultant at this marvelous work of God’s goodness, what joy should it not bring to the lowly hearts of men?
Beloved, let us give thanks to God the Father, through His Son, in the Holy Ghost, because in His great love for us He took pity on us, and when we were dead in our sins He brought us to life with Christ, so that in Him we might be a new creation. Let us throw off our old nature and all its ways and, as we have come to birth in Christ, let us renounce the works of the flesh.
Christian, remember your dignity, and now that you share in God’s own nature, do not return by sin to your former base condition. Bear in mind who is your head and of whose body you are a member. Do not forget that you have been rescued from the power of darkness and brought into the light of God’s kingdom.
Through the sacrament of baptism you have become a temple of the Holy Ghost. Do not drive away so great a guest by evil conduct and become again a slave to the devil, for your liberty was brought by the blood of Christ.

Saint Paul was always thrilled when the brethren were advancing in the way of holiness. He encourages the Colossians to pray more fervently and to keep up their effort. The same holds true for us today. We must strive for holiness first and foremost through prayer. We need the Holy Spirit to enlighten us with the gifts of wisdom and understanding.
There is a “dominion of darkness” that exists for those who choose to be mastered by the devil and enslaved to the state of sin. On the other hand, “Light” is a symbol of the risen Christ and the graces He won for us through His Paschal Mystery. Light brings with it goodness, righteousness and truth.
The struggle between light and the power of darkness is found in many places in Sacred Scripture. Darkness refers to both evil and the power of Satan. We must constantly be aware of this reality and embrace the Light that is Jesus Christ. He has rescued us from the power of darkness and the tyranny of the Evil One.
We as Christians should always be grateful to God for His great mercy in freeing us from the power of darkness and Satan. God has forgiven us and made us worthy to “share in the inheritance of the saints.” This sharing enables us to draw upon the immense treasury of spiritual goods which the Church is continually applying to its members, namely prayers, sacrifices and various meritorious actions. God has brought us out of darkness into His own wonderful light!
