“Blessed Eugene de Mazenod, whom the Church proclaims a saint today, was a man of Advent, a man of the Coming. He not only looked forward to that Coming, but as Bishop and Founder of the Congregation of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate he dedicated his whole life to preparing for it. He was one of those apostles who prepared the modern age, our age [...].
Eugene de Mazenod was aware that the mandate of every bishop and every local Church is in itself missionary, and he made sure that even the ancient Church of Marseilles, whose beginnings date back to the sub-apostolic period, could fulfill in an exemplary manner its missionary vocation, under the leadership of its pastor. This was St. Eugene’s commitment, regarding the second coming of Christ, that all await with great hope. [...]
Today the Church gives thanks to God for St. Eugene de Mazenod, an apostle of his time, who, putting on the Lord Jesus Christ, spent his life in service to the Gospel of God. We give thanks to God for the great transformation accomplished through the work of this bishop. His influence is not limited to the time when he lived, but also continues in our time. In fact, the good accomplished by the Holy Spirit does not perish, but endures in every “now” of history."

Divine Mercy Sunday - Teaching by Fr Richard McAlear, OMI
JESUS, FORGIVENESS and HEALING
Forgiveness - Experiencing God's Mercy, an acclaimed work of Father's in which he not only provides valuable insight on the necessity of forgiveness for healing and spiritual growth, but he also reflects on the fact that forgiveness is the very heart and soul of the Gospel message itself.
"God's forgiveness is simply given as a gift without measure. What is received as a gift is to be given as a gift (Mt 10,8). Love and do not count the cost."
~ Fr Richard McAlear, OMI
Healing, another acclaimed work of Father's in which he tells us-
"We see Jesus as the incarnation of the Father's love. He is the Savior. The basis for all the healing and saving work of Jesus is the Incarnation itself. Love is revealed when God sends His Son into the world to be its Savior... He brings healing and hope, touching humanity with the love of God. "The Spirit of God has been given to me. He has sent me to bring Good News to the poor, to heal the brokenhearted and to free the oppressed" (Is 61, 1-3). Jesus will spend His time on earth fulfilling that prophetic word. Jesus healed. He is Healer. He forgives sins... He heals and cures the sick. Jesus is Love Incarnate."
Forgiveness - Experiencing God's Mercy and Healing by Fr Richard McAlear offer much to celebrate Jesus and the love He came to bring.
"Healing belongs to Jesus and Jesus belongs to healing. We learn about Jesus from considering His healing work, His incarnation and work of redemption. We learn about the love of God, both as manifested in the healings Jesus accomplished and as the reason for His presence on earth."
~ Fr Richard McAlear, OMI
As always, Father thanks you for supporting his Ministry and the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate and gives you his blessing for a Holy and Merry Christmas!

“Jesus is the friend of sinners.”
~ Fr Richard McAlear, OMI
As Jesus passed by, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the customs post. He said to him, "Follow me." And he got up and followed him. While he was at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat with Jesus and his disciples. The Pharisees saw this and said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?" He heard this and said, “Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. Go and learn the meaning of the words, I desire mercy, not sacrifice. I did not come to call the righteous but sinners." ~ MT 9:9-13

Jesus came with his disciples into the house. Again the crowd gathered, making it impossible for them even to eat. When his relatives heard of this they set out to seize him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.” - Mk 3:20-21
Feel like everything is crazy? Just be crazy for Jesus!
Father is! Father is CRAZY for Jesus!
Are YOU crazy?
