Thank you Valerie Milano and all for the tremendous effort and loving hard work that it took to pull off our Hollywood Extravaganza. I have had lots of visitors comment to me over the years, “You have a lot of great people here at Blessed Sacrament”. A truer statement has never been made.
Thank you one and all,
Father Mike

12Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
13For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die: but if by the Spirit you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live.
14For whosoever are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15For you have not received the spirit of bondage again in fear; but you have received the spirit of adoption of sons, whereby we cry: Abba (Father).
16For the Spirit himself giveth testimony to our spirit, that we are the sons of God.
17And if sons, heirs also; heirs indeed of God, and joint heirs with Christ: yet so, if we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.
Luke 13:10-17

10And he was teaching in their synagogue on their sabbath.
11And behold there was a woman, who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years: and she was bowed together, neither could she look upwards at all.
12Whom when Jesus saw, he called her unto him, and said to her: Woman, thou art delivered from thy infirmity.
13And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
14And the ruler of the synagogue (being angry that Jesus had healed on the sabbath) answering, said to the multitude: Six days there are wherein you ought to work. In them therefore come, and be healed; and not on the sabbath day.
15And the Lord answering him, said: Ye hypocrites, doth not every one of you, on the sabbath day, loose his ox or his ass from the manger, and lead them to water?
16And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
17And when he said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the things that were gloriously done by him.
Romans 8:18-25
View in: NAB NIV KJV NJB Vulg Greek
18For I reckon that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with the glory to come, that shall be revealed in us.
19For the expectation of the creature waiteth for the revelation of the sons of God.
20For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him that made it subject, in hope:
21Because the creature also itself shall be delivered from the servitude of corruption, into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
22For we know that every creature groaneth and travaileth in pain, even till now.
23And not only it, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption of the sons of God, the redemption of our body.
24For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen, is not hope. For what a man seeth, why doth he hope for?
25But if we hope for that which we see not, we wait for it with patience.
Luke 13:18-21

18He said therefore: To what is the kingdom of God like, and whereunto shall I resemble it?
19It is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his garden, and it grew and became a great tree, and the birds of the air lodged in the branches thereof.
20And again he said: Whereunto shall I esteem the kingdom of God to be like?
21It is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
Romans 8:26-30

26Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity. For we know not what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit himself asketh for us with unspeakable groanings.
27And he that searcheth the hearts, knoweth what the Spirit desireth; because he asketh for the saints according to God.
28And we know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints.
29For whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be made conformable to the image of his Son; that he might be the firstborn amongst many brethren.
30And whom he predestinated, them he also called. And whom he called, them he also justified. And whom he justified, them he also glorified.

23And a certain man said to him: Lord, are they few that are saved? But he said to them:
24Strive to enter by the narrow gate; for many, I say to you, shall seek to enter, and shall not be able.
25But when the master of the house shall be gone in, and shall shut the door, you shall begin to stand without, and knock at the door, saying: Lord, open to us. And he answering, shall say to you: I know you not, whence you are.
26Then you shall begin to say: We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
27And he shall say to you: I know you not, whence you are: depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you shall see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
29And there shall come from the east and the west, and the north and the south; and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
30And behold, they are last that shall be first; and they are first that shall be last.

2And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the sign of the living God; and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3Saying: Hurt not the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, till we sign the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4And I heard the number of them that were signed, an hundred forty-four thousand were signed, of every tribe of the children of Israel.
9After this I saw a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and in sight of the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands:
10And they cried with a loud voice, saying: Salvation to our God, who sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb.
11And all the angels stood round about the throne, and the ancients, and the four living creatures; and they fell down before the throne upon their faces, and adored God,
12Saying: Amen. Benediction, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, honour, and power, and strength to our God for ever and ever. Amen.
13And one of the ancients answered, and said to me: These that are clothed in white robes, who are they? and whence came they?
14And I said to him: My Lord, thou knowest. And he said to me: These are they who are come out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and have made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

4Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land.
5Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
6Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill.
7Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God.
9Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God.
10Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake:
12Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.

2In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure was taken for misery:
3And their going away from us, for utter destruction: but they are in peace.
4And though in the sight of men they suffered torments, their hope is full of immortality.
5Afflicted in few things, in many they shall be well rewarded: because God hath tried them, and found them worthy of himself.
6As gold in the furnace he hath proved them, and as a victim of a holocaust he hath received them, and in time there shall be respect had to them.
7The just shall shine, and shall run to and fro like sparks among the reeds.
8They shall judge nations, and rule over people, and their Lord shall reign for ever.
9They that trust in him, shall understand the truth: and they that are faithful in love shall rest in him: for grace and peace is to his elect.
Romans 5:5-11
View in: NAB NIV KJV NJB Vulg Greek
5And hope confoundeth not: because the charity of God is poured forth in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost, who is given to us.
6For why did Christ, when as yet we were weak, according to the time, die for the ungodly?
7For scarce for a just man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man some one would dare to die.
8But God commendeth his charity towards us; because when as yet we were sinners, according to the time,
9Christ died for us; much more therefore, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through him.
10For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son; much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
11And not only so; but also we glory in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received reconciliation.

37All that the Father giveth to me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me, I will not cast out.
38Because I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39Now this is the will of the Father who sent me: that of all that he hath given me, I should lose nothing; but should raise it up again in the last day.
40And this is the will of my Father that sent me: that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth in him, may have life everlasting, and I will raise him up in the last day.

1And it came to pass, when Jesus went into the house of one of the chief of the Pharisees, on the sabbath day, to eat bread, that they watched him.
7And he spoke a parable also to them that were invited, marking how they chose the first seats at the table, saying to them:
8When thou art invited to a wedding, sit not down in the first place, lest perhaps one more honourable than thou be invited by him:
9And he that invited thee and him, come and say to thee, Give this man place: and then thou begin with shame to take the lowest place.
10But when thou art invited, go, sit down in the lowest place; that when he who invited thee, cometh, he may say to thee: Friend, go up higher. Then shalt thou have glory before them that sit at table with thee.
11Because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.

2And behold, there was a man named Zacheus, who was the chief of the publicans, and he was rich.
3And he sought to see Jesus who he was, and he could not for the crowd, because he was low of stature.
4And running before, he climbed up into a sycamore tree, that he might see him; for he was to pass that way.
5And when Jesus was come to the place, looking up, he saw him, and said to him: Zacheus, make haste and come down; for this day I must abide in thy house.
6And he made haste and came down; and received him with joy.
7And when all saw it, they murmured, saying, that he was gone to be a guest with a man that was a sinner.
8But Zacheus standing, said to the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wronged any man of any thing, I restore him fourfold.
9Jesus said to him: This day is salvation come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
10For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

12Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
13For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die: but if by the Spirit you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live.
14For whosoever are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15For you have not received the spirit of bondage again in fear; but you have received the spirit of adoption of sons, whereby we cry: Abba (Father).
16For the Spirit himself giveth testimony to our spirit, that we are the sons of God.
17And if sons, heirs also; heirs indeed of God, and joint heirs with Christ: yet so, if we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.

18For I reckon that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with the glory to come, that shall be revealed in us.

20For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him that made it subject, in hope:
21Because the creature also itself shall be delivered from the servitude of corruption, into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
22For we know that every creature groaneth and travaileth in pain, even till now.
23And not only it, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption of the sons of God, the redemption of our body.
24For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen, is not hope. For what a man seeth, why doth he hope for?
25But if we hope for that which we see not, we wait for it with patience.

9After this I saw a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and in sight of the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands:
10And they cried with a loud voice, saying: Salvation to our God, who sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb.

13And one of the ancients answered, and said to me: These that are clothed in white robes, who are they? and whence came they?

    10And he was teaching in their synagogue on their sabbath.
    11And behold there was a woman, who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years: and she was bowed together, neither could she look upwards at all.
    12Whom when Jesus saw, he called her unto him, and said to her: Woman, thou art delivered from thy infirmity.
    13And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
    14And the ruler of the synagogue (being angry that Jesus had healed on the sabbath) answering, said to the multitude: Six days there are wherein you ought to work. In them therefore come, and be healed; and not on the sabbath day.
    15And the Lord answering him, said: Ye hypocrites, doth not every one of you, on the sabbath day, loose his ox or his ass from the manger, and lead them to water?
    16And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
    17And when he said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the things that were gloriously done by him.
