Who is Saint Matthew?
We who take access to words for granted should pause to be grateful to those who preserved the Gospel words so carefully and spread them to the utmost bounds of the world without benefit of the printing press or instantaneous media.
Matthew, or Levi, the Apostle and author of the first Gospel, met Christ while he was collecting taxes at Capernaum. Half a verse tells the story: โHe said to him, โFollow me.โ And he got up and followed himโ (Matthew 9:9). This moment of encounter between our Lord and Matthew, the sinner, has captured the imagination of many artists. Matthew can also be recognized in the Churchโs art by his symbols: the book of the Gospel, the winged man, and even the swordโthe supposed instrument of his martyrdom.
MEDITATION OF THE DAY
I did not come to call the righteous but sinners. (Matthew 9:13)
Despised as a collaborator with the Romans, Matthew knew that his job as a tax collector was nothing to be proud of. His hard-earned wealth only brought him contempt and rejection from his own people. And yet, when he heard Jesus call him, Matthew did not hesitate. All his sinful ways, all the ways he had mistreated people, and all the unworthiness that must have accompanied such behavior dissipated. There was something special about Jesus, and Matthew was not about to let any obstacle stand in his way.
It can be easy to buy into the lie that you are unworthy to answer Jesusโ call. Donโt believe it! Donโt imagine that your sins or weaknesses have convinced Jesus to pass you by in favor of a more worthy candidate. Remember what He said to the people who objected to His calling of Matthew: โI did not come to call the righteous but sinnersโ (Matthew 9:13). We are all sinners, and still, Jesus calls all of us: โFollow meโ (9:9). He wants you to be with Him.
Today, if you are feeling unworthy, remember Matthew. Remember Godโs kindness and mercy toward him. Remember the freedom and joy he felt when he left his old life behind and accepted Jesusโ invitation. God has called you and chosen you because He loves you just as much as He loved Matthew. Jump at his invitation, and let Him change your life.
Amen...

1. EXPERIENCE NEW CULTURE, BROADEN VIEWS
The most noticeable part of leaving home is experiencing a new culture. By being planted in a new community, your teen will be able to practice compassion by walking in another personโs shoes. Having a broadened worldview is beneficial to teens as they prepare to leave for college.
2. EXPERIENCE LIVING OUTSIDE THEIR COMFORT ZONE BEFORE GOING TO COLLEGE
Leaving home before the big move to college gives teenagers a leg up in real-world experiences outside their childhood home. College is often the first time a student is away from their family. However, if they have gone on a short-term mission trip to a new city (or country), they will feel more prepared to leave home once they graduate. The confidence felt in being fully capable and functional on their own, empowers them in their new life away from home.
3. MAKE AN IMPACT BY SPREADING HIS GLORY
Teens can see His love and compassion across the globe, and instant connections can be made across language barriers due to sharing Godโs love. Additionally, they can see just how much small acts can impact communities in need, glorify God, and change the lives of not only them but those that they serve.
4. TRAVEL TO NEW PLACES
Participating in a mission trip can give you the chance to travel, and to go with a purpose. The benefits of traveling are vast โ the obvious of which is getting to experience a new place in great depth. Traveling can also help in gaining new skills like social interaction and communication. You get to interact with people who have a different view on life and learn how to incorporate that into how you think on a global scale. This can translate into more creative thinking and improved school discussions. Traveling has been known to assist people in self-reflection and exploration, something teenagers can benefit from greatly.
5. PARTICIPATE IN VOLUNTEER WORK
The volunteer work done on a short-term mission trip can foster a heart of compassion, a value that can be taught at any age and sticks with you for life. This can assist teens in shifting from a self-centric perspective to a selfless attitude. As they serve others, Godโs name is glorified, and that can make a massive impact on the life of a teenager.
6. MAKE LIFELONG FRIENDSHIPS
The relationships made on a short-term mission trip can last a lifetime due to eating, sleeping, traveling, and serving together 24 hours a day. It forces friendship. However, these friendships are like no other; they are centered in Christ, and they are experiencing life-changing events together, causing the friendship to strengthen immensely. Mission trips provide teenagers with the space to form bonds as they grow their personal relationship with God.
7. STRENGTHEN FAITH AND RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
A mission trip is a wonderful place to feel Godโs presence. It gives one the opportunity to spread His word and serve His people while also strengthening their own personal relationship with God. Hard work in a small community with peers who passionately love Jesus helps to provide a Christ-centered community for believers who can grow in love and faith together.
Great for teens. Wish I were young again. Take my advice. Do all you can.
Who are Saints Andrew Kim Tae-gลn, Paul Chลng Ha-sang, and Companions?
In Godโs hand is the soul of every living thing, and the life-breath of all mankind. (Job 12:10)
The martyrs bear witness to the core of Christโs sacrifice: they ยญsurrender their lives into Godโs hands to do with them as He wills. To them, the present cost of their offering counts as nothing in comparison to life with the Lord who awaits them.
After an earlier attempt failed, the Korean Church arose in the late 18th century after a Korean visitor heard Christ preached by the Jesuits in China and brought Christian tracts home to share. Persecutions began when the Korean authorities attacked the fledgling Christian community for introducing foreign influences into the country. Among the saints honored on this feast are eleven priests and ninety-two laypersons. These martyrs were scholars, court officials, farmers, merchants, widows, and wives. Each had found the pearl of great price and gave his or her life for it. They represent the countless others who met death rather than renounce their faith during a hundred years of persecution.
Let us pray;
My portion is the Lord, says my soul; therefore will I hope in him. (Lamentations 3:24)
The martyrsโ portion is the Lord. For them, that is reward enough.
Strengthened by the faith of the martyrs, let us pray:
R/Hear us, O Lord.
You delivered the disciples imprisoned for preaching without fear in your name:
โ deliver all those imprisoned in infidelity by fear of ยญdispleasing others. R/Hear us, O Lord.
You kept your martyrs steadfast in the face of every threat:
โ make steadfast those tempted to compromise their discipleship for fear of consequences. R/Hear us, O Lord.
You raised to life the martyrs, who chose death rather than faithlessness:
โ raise all those who have died. R/Hear us, O Lord.
Amen...

Groups for everyone as well as Young Adults and in Spanish!
Calling all young adults, join our Consuming Fire Young Adult Grow Group (CFYA) on Tuesdays at 7pm for community and faith building. Reach out to cfyagg@gmail.com to get plugged in with the group.
WE GATHER | CFYA gather with regularity at OLM and other venues to eat, pray, and โdo life togetherโ! The gatherings are open to anyone: Catholics, non-Catholics, seekers, and those just curious about Jesus. OUR PURPOSE | The primary purpose of Consuming Fire is to help young adults grow in their relationship with Jesus together โ and community is the most effective way to do that! After all, there are no โsolo disciplesโ. Discipleship cannot be lived (and definitely will not flourish) in isolation. KEEPING IT REAL | Consuming Fire is all about real relationships where there is authenticity, accountability, and accompaniment.
Who is Saint Januarius?
Januarius was the bishop of Benevento. Januarius was arrested during the Christian persecution of Diocletian in 305. The young bishop was thrown to the lions, but the beasts werenโt hungry. Eventually, the soldiers decided to simply kill him & chopped off his head.
Now hereโs where things get interesting. Christians, because of their belief in the resurrection of the body, go to great lengths to assure proper burial. The faithful requested the body, and someone collected some of Januariusโ blood. This blood was transferred into a small glass vial โ which made its way to Naples. The bishopโs bones are buried in the crypt of the cathedral. The ampoule still contains some of his dried blood.
A few times a year, the vial is shown to the public โ today, the feast of St. Januarius, is one of those days. The Archbishop of Naples processes with the relic, the faithful pray and then sometimes Januariusโ dried blood begins to liquefy as the ancient relic is shown to the people!
I know, I know โ itโs weird. Indeed it is. And itโs been happening for over 400 years. Iโve never been to Naples to see it, but thousands of other people have. Experiments have been conducted, yet there has been no medical or scientific explanation for this strange phenomenon.
What do we make of this strange happening? Do we dismiss it as a magic trick? Do we book a ticket to Naples? Do we simply roll our eyes or do we go to church this Sunday, for the first time in a long time, because of this miraculous story?
Jesus said that we would know a tree by its fruits. When it comes to miraculous stories like the one of Januariusโ blood, itโs best to look at the lives of the faithful. Does this strange phenomenon bring people to deeper conversion? For over 400 years folks have found a deeper faith in Christ and his Church because of the blood of Januarius. Some have even turned to Jesus for the first time because of it. Repentance, conversion, and discipleship are, no doubt, good fruits.
-Fr. Damian Ference "St. Januarius, Patron Saint of Blood Banks"

Happy 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Even with his newfound wealth, the forgiven servant says to his fellow servant, โPay back what you owe.โ In doing so he refuses โmercy to another like himself.โ However, โthe vengeful will suffer the Lordโs vengeance, for he remembers their sins in detail.โ The โlogicโ of mercy is very simple: โForgive your neighborโs injustice; then your own sins will be forgiven.โ Thus, โnone of usโ is to โlive for oneselfโ; rather, โwe live for the Lordโ and by the Lord. The โLord of both the dead and the livingโ will endow us with the power to forgive others as he himself does. The desire to forgive othersโeven when painful wounds remain with usโis already the indication that Godโs mercy is present in our hearts. United to Jesus, we dare to โexpect healing from the Lord.โ
