Fr. Jack,
Just wanted to let you know how meaningful and special Mass on Sat. evening was. The homily was very thought-provoking and insightful. Both Janet and I were blessed by being with the Madalene community. Also, please let your musicians know how well they did. I was very impressed with your organist. He was just terrific. All the music was very nice.
Again, thank you for a very wonderful worship experience.
Blessings to you!
Jim Boatwright

What a wonderful thing these Podcasts are!

We’re so fortunate to have Father Jack here. Among many other things, I think he’s one of the finest homilists in the Church! His homilies tend to be funny, touching, egalitarian, terribly relevant, theologically and philosophically rich, extremely intelligent yet easily accessible…and delivered with the confidence and authority due such God-serving words, but so obviously from a joyful, humble and loving heart.

These homilies are worth archiving. They’re a joy to hear, never a dull drag.

And until very recently scheduling has prevented me from attending Mass as much as I want…and I feel very blessed to be able to come here and hear what I’ve been missing.

To whoever keeps these archives going: Thank you.

Phil

I have been visiting at my daughters church in Edmond,Oklahoma. It is a Catholic Church. I have really felt drawn to the Catholic belief for a while now and visiting with my daughter and her children has been comforting. It is to far to travel and I would like to find a Church here in Tulsa. This information has really helped me to take the next step.
Thank you.

Parish Lenten Mission

Thank You Fr. Jack for inviting Fr. Tom McCarthy an Augustinian Priest and your friend to the Madalene and Thank You Fr. Tom for sharing your Gifts of the Holy Spirit as you presented THE SACRAMENTS THE TREASURES OF OUR FAITH. The church was packed each evening (Mar. 8th, 9th, and 10th), a wonderful and exciting spiritual journey. For those who missed the Parish Mission for whatever reason, the Challenge at the end of Mass today (Sunday 15th) from Fr. Jack was to share with you, who were not able to attend, a brief moment or experience from the mission. I must say we were a very lively group, but how could one not join into singing and participation at the moment.

Evening 1 (March 8th) Sacraments of Initiation. Evening 2 (March 9th) Sacraments of Healing. Evening 3 (March 10th) Sacraments of Vocation.

The second evening was awesome when five, six or more Priest were available in church for reconciliation (open space but yet private). There was a sense of Peace and a moment of surprise to see so many people lined up for reconciliation and I knew at that moment what I needed to do. Fr. Tom gave all Penance instruction prior to the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Thank You Fr. Tom for sharing the many Gifts of the Holy Spirit with us.

Peace, Joy and Love,
Linda Merle

If you were able to attend the Lenten Mission, please share your moment with the Madalene Community.

I am in the RCIA program, and I have never felt more at peace with my life!! I can hardly wait for the Right of Election, and to have my first communion. If you are teetering on becoming a Catholic I strongly urge that you come or call Madalene to speak with Father Jack or Deacon Robert (two of the greatest men I have met in my life.) Daryl, Shreese, Becky, and Ally have been such a blessing in our breaking open sessions and at the retreats. Marty Howerton is my sponsor and I feel like I have known him my whole life he is such a caring and loving man also very devoted to his church! We (my wife Donna and I) will be confirmed Easter of 2009 and we can’t wait!!

When we are cut off either from friends, loved ones, family or even economically we tend to want to find an excuse why this has occurred. The first response is to look to other people or events to point at rather than ourselves. The analogy that Fr. Jack used of Adam first blaming Eve and then God for the offense is funny when you first hear it until I realize that I have done the same thing by blaming events and not my selfish heart.

Well done! Hit home in me.

Making these homilies available on the Internet is wonderful. Fr. Jack puts so much into them that the rest of us need to hear it more than once to take it all in.

Wonderful idea. Thanks.
