Friday Mass
Our company used to house the Our Lady of Guadalupe Chapel with Monsignor Matt as the chaplain. There is a Mass celebrated everyday from Monday to Friday.
But since the building was demolished to build a newer building, Mass is celebrated every Friday in one of the office spaces owned by the company.
And for today's Mass, the Mass presider is Monsignor Matt. His homily is on faith--the faith of the two blind men opens the grace for their healing. Faith has three pillars: believe in God, trust in God, and obey God.
Monsignor Matt also shared his experience when they went to Medjugorje for a pilgrimage. They arrived there December 2 and ever since, they are hearing witnesses to miracles--the sun, the fire on the cross, etc. The group is becoming disappointed as they are not experiencing any of these miracles. They fasted, they prayed the rosary, etc. Maybe on December 8...? But as Monsignor Matt pointed out to them that if their purpose in going to Medjugorje is for a chance to experience a miracle, it is no different from being a tourist in the place. There should be conversion and an increase in faith.
As they end their pilgrimage, on the bus, suddenly one of the pilgrims noticed the sun--the sun split into two. Thinking that it might be due to the bus' glass mirror, they stopped and stepped out of the bus. There are two suns! June Kiethley, who was with them to do a documentary, asked her cameraman to take videos of the event. Nothing registered in the video! The miracle with June Kiethley? She was on her way to become a member of the Born Again. Because of this miracle, she has actively promoted Mama Mary.
When the group was in Singapore, they are praying the rosary loudly in the park. They did not mind the stares given to them. Back at the hotel, one of the pilgrims asked Monsignor Matt what is the color of the five (5) rosaries he requested Monsignor Matt to buy for him--it is silver with clear crystals. The five rosaries turned to gold, the metal inside the clear crystal beads is still silver. When Monsigor Matt checked his rosary, it, too, turned to gold. He gave this rosary to his mother. Unfortunately, she misplaced it.
