This episode of CANITY presents a full Catholic Mass celebrated on May 9, 2026, centered on themes of persecution, discipleship, and joy in suffering. The homily draws from the Acts of the Apostles and the Gospel of John, emphasizing that being a follower of Christ inevitably brings opposition from the world—both outside and within the Church. The host reflects on the deeper spiritual danger not of being hated, but of being bitter or resentful when persecuted, urging believers to embrace suffering as a mark of authenticity and joy in following Christ. He cites the example of Mons. Ostner of Passau and the life of Mother Cristina de Arteaga, a Spanish noblewoman who became a nun and wrote powerful poetry expressing her desire for divine suffering over worldly glory. The message culminates in a call to reject the temptation of applause and instead embrace the 'crowns of thorns' with gratitude, echoing the words of St. Augustine: 'Give me what You ask, and ask what You will.' The Mass concludes with the Eucharistic Prayer, Communion, and final blessings, reinforcing the call to live in faith, hope, and joyful perseverance.
Persecution for Christ is not a sign of failure but a mark of authentic discipleship.
The greatest danger is not being hated by the world, but being bitter about it.
True joy comes from embracing suffering for Christ, not from worldly approval.
Ask God for the strength to endure persecution and reject the temptation of easy applause.
The 'crowns of thorns' are more valuable than any earthly crown—choose divine suffering over human praise.
Opening Liturgy and Penitential Rite
The Mass begins with the traditional Catholic liturgical prayers, including the Confiteor, Gloria, and the opening prayer, setting a tone of humility, repentance, and gratitude to God for His mercy.
First Reading: Paul’s Mission and the Call to Macedonia
The reading from Acts of the Apostles recounts Paul’s journey to Derbe and Listra, where he takes Timothy, a half-Jewish disciple, under his wing. The group is guided by the Holy Spirit to avoid Asia and instead travel to Macedonia, where Paul receives a vision of a Macedonian calling for help.
Gospel Reflection: The World Will Hate the Disciples
“There are things to say, and there are things to say. And there are things to say and to say this persecution. This week, for example, one of the few obisks plenamente catolicers of Germany, Mons. Ostner from the Bioscesi Passau... No digo que Monseñor no lo esté disfrutando, estoy seguro de que sí. Hablo también de mí. Hay un salmo que dice cuánta guerra me han hecho desde mi juventud...”
The Joy of Suffering: Mother Cristina de Arteaga’s Testimony
“Si me das coronas, dame las despinas. No podemos ser unos ¡ay, ay, ay! Es decir, esos que están siempre quejándose. Estamos con Jesús. Y si estamos con Jesús, estamos con Jesús con todas las consecuencias y felices de estar con Jesús. ¡Felices!”
Eucharistic Prayer and Final Blessings
The Mass proceeds through the Eucharistic Prayer, the Anamnesis, the invocation of the Holy Spirit, and the final intercessions. It concludes with the Lord’s Prayer, the sign of peace, and a powerful closing prayer invoking the protection of St. Michael and the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
“Dame Señor lo que me pides y pídeme lo que tú quieras.”
“Si me das coronas, dame las despinas. No podemos ser unos ¡ay, ay, ay! Es decir, esos que están siempre quejándose.”
“Disfrútalo. Dichosos vosotros cuando seáis perseguidos por mi causa, disfrútalo.”
