Pope Saint John Paul II, born Karol Wojtyla, was above all a preacher of God's Word. Much of his priesthood, episcopacy, and papacy was dedicated to opening the Scriptures so that they could bring life to the faithful. His formulation of the Law of the Gift offers us the chance to consider the ways in which we approach life as a game to be played rather than a gift to be shared, and to be converted to the full truth of the Gospel. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hucklefather/support

“Jesus wants me to tell you again, especially in this Holy Week, how much is the love He has for each one of you – beyond all you can imagine.  I worry some of you still have not really met Jesus – one to one – you and Jesus alone. We may spend time in chapel – but have you seen with eyes of your soul how He looks at you with love?  Do you really know the living Jesus – not from books but from being with Him in your heart?  Have you heard the loving words He speaks to you?  Ask for the grace, He is longing simply to give it.  Until you can hear Jesus in the silence of your own heart, you will not be able to hear Him saying ‘I Thirst’ in the hearts of the poor.  Never give up this intimate contact with Jesus as a real living person – not just an idea.  How can we last even one day living our life without hearing Jesus say ‘I love you’ – impossible.  Our soul needs that as much as the body needs to breathe the air.  If not, prayer is dead – meditation only thinking.” --Mother Teresa, "Varanasi Letter"

First, thank you for your prayers for the principal search. I am pleased to announce we have hired a principal for the coming school year, Alex Weibel. Read about it at https://telegra.ph/Welcome-Alex-Weibel-as-Principal-of-Christ-the-King-School-05-20 Early in the morning on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalen went to the tomb, and found the stone moved away from the tomb door. So she came running to Simon Peter, and that other disciple, whom Jesus loved; They have carried the Lord away from the tomb, she said to them, and we cannot tell where they have taken him... The disciples went back home; but Mary stood without before the tomb, weeping. And she bent down, still weeping, and looked into the tomb; and saw two angels clothed in white sitting there, one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. They said to her, Woman, why art thou weeping? Because they have carried away my Lord, she said, and I cannot tell where they have taken him. Saying th

A prayer request: https://ctkclassical.org/employment.html Jesus Christ still lives upon earth as surely, though in another and what must be called a "mystical" sense, as He lived two thousand years ago. For He has a Body in which He lives, a Voice with which He speaks. As two thousand years ago He assumed one kind of Body by which to accomplish His purposes, so He has assumed now another kind of Body in which to continue them; and that Body consists of a unity of a myriad of cells—each cell a living soul complete in itself—transcending the sum of the cells and yet expressing itself through them. Christianity, then, to the Catholic is not merely an individual matter—though it is that also, as surely as the cell has individual relations with the main life of the body. But it is far more: it is corporate and transcendent. The Catholic does not merely as a self-contained unit suck out grace through this or that sacramental channel; the priest to him is not just a viceregent who represents or may misrep

Upon this hil Y fond a tree, Undir the tree a man sittynge, From heed to foot woundid was he, His herte blood Y sigh bledinge: A semeli man to ben a king, A graciouse face to loken unto; I askide whi he had peynynge, He seide, Quia amore langueo. I am Truelove that fals was nevere. My sistyr, Mannis Soule, Y loved hir thus. Bicause we wolde in no wise discevere, I lefte my kyngdom glorious. I purveide for hir a paleis precious; Sche fleyth; Y folowe. Y soughte hir so, I suffride this peyne piteuous, Quia amore langueo.

I pledge to seek the truth and to love all that is good and beautiful. I will strive to achieve clarity of thought, nobility of character, and purity of heart. Therefore, I will pursue my education with diligence, humility, and honor, embracing excellence and renouncing mediocrity. I will assume responsibility for my actions. I will treat my peers, my teachers, and myself with the utmost dignity and respect. And I will aspire above all to wisdom and to a life of faith, hope, and charity, so that I might fulfill my destiny as a Christ-like Thinker for the Kingdom of God.  Christ the King Scholars' Pledge --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hucklefather/support

"Our ordinary activities are not an insignificant matter. Rather they are the very hinge on which our sanctity turns, and they offer us constant opportunities of meeting God, and of praising him and glorifying him through our intellectual or manual work."   --Saint Josemaría Escrivá --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hucklefather/support

As a pastor, I am always open to listening and accepting thoughtful feedback, which I value and need in order for my priestly service to be fruitful. I sincerely wish for there to be a deeper spirit of collaboration with the people of these parishes. I am praying for the grace to respond to what feels like a curse with a blessing. It is hard. So, as a gesture of good will, I hope that re-forming the CTK Pastoral Council will provide an ongoing forum for this kind of communication and collaboration. More specifics will be shared soon. Please begin praying for its fruitfulness. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hucklefather/support
