Fr. James McHugh, Meditations for the Parishioner

Number 12 'Morals do not make us Christians. We bear the name of Christ not because we live on a higher moral level than the unbeliever ; we are Christians because we have been engrafted onto Christ in baptism. We share his life; we have been brought into the Community of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It is that that makes us Christians, not the way we live, even if life in Christ calls for high and even heroic moral demands.' Meditation by Fr. Pat [SERMONS, Type=1 Code=EE]
 

Fr. Patrick McHugh, Meditations for the Parishioner

Number 13 'Dialogue has such a nice sound, it is a pity it can be terribly misused. What passes for dialogue with those who do not share our Faith too often turns out to be little more than a pleasant interchange about nothing in particular, so that everybody goes off with the idea that all that can be said about God and Man is a point of view. In other words, we are all the same, it will all be the same in the end. Yet dialogue, the real thing, [SERMONS, Type=1 Code=EE]
 

Fr. Patrick McHugh, Meditations for the Parishioner

Number 14 How and in what manner does Christ come to act on us now? Does He move us with some interior grace that is in no way connected with the body or with material things? Or, does He come to us as He did nineteen hundred years ago -- through words and objects and gestures and signs? Fr. Patrick J. McHugh elaborates on this subject.

Fr. Patrick McHugh, Meditations for the Parishioner

Number 21 Sacred Scripture is inspired by the Holy Spirit. This is an axiom long familiar to generations of Christians. We hear it. We say that we believe it, but in practice, like so many other axioms, this, too, lies on the surface of our minds; we do not 'see' it as real for ourselves. Many devout Christians talk ardently about 'life in the Spirit' or 'renewal' or 'updating' or 'reform of parish structures,' but they hardly ever stop to consider what the Holy Spirit so clearly and explicitly lays down in His inspired Word. [SERMONS, Type=1 Code=EE]
 

Fr. Patrick McHugh, Meditations for the Parishioner

Number 22 It would be fascinating to know how they will see us five hundred years from now. There are two possibilities here: Will they see the Church of our time being made ready by the Holy Spirit for a glorious burst of renewal of Faith and holiness? Or will they see the opposite: the Church entering into an Ice Age of secularized 'Christianity' where the Faith withered into little pockets?. [SERMONS, Type=1 Code=EE]
 

Fr. Patrick McHugh, Meditations for the Parishioner

Number 23 Bible Study Programs in parishes and elsewhere hold out an expectation that they will be exciting, uplifting and sublime. Projected and announced this way they attract many. The irony is that too often few stay with Programs that even attempt to do what Sacred Scripture itself so clearly proclaims as its prime purpose and which the Holy Spirit inspired St. Paul to remind Timothy of: I charge you to preach the word whether convenient or [SERMONS, Type=1 Code=EE]

Fr. Patrick McHugh, Meditations for the Parishioner

Number 25 'Love is a many splendor'd thing' so it is indeed. And even more so in Sacred Scripture inspired by the Holy Spirit. In one of the Letters St Paul wrote to the new Christians of Corinth he spelled out, word by word, what love should mean in practice. Even in translation what he wrote is splendid, but what these Corinthians heard in their own language conveyed more than what comes to our minds as we read the Letter he sent to them.

Number 9' 'Men have always reacted to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and of their call to glory in the same way they did in Athens when they heard it from St. Paul . . . . This is how many react to day. They want a humanist 'religion' that is centered on Man and that seeks only the 'betterment' (if it can be called that) of the world and its institutions. This is the mood of our age and time and many, even within the Church, are affected by it.' [SERMONS, Type=1 Code=EE]

Let us not be skeptics and doubters as St. Thomas was. Let us be believers, trusting in Jesus, trusting in his holy apostles, trusting in Holy Mother Church.
