“Ask a Priest: Can We Really Give Jesus’ Gift Back to the Father?”

Q: In the Divine Mercy Chaplet and elsewhere I have seen phrases like this: “Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.” This puzzles me. God sent Jesus to earth to die for our sins. Who am I to offer this gift to back God? Isn’t this saying I’m giving back the gift given to me? Am I really in a position to give such a gift to God? Can you help clarify what this means? — Gary

Answered by Fr. Edward McIlmail, LC A: Great question! A bit of context can help us understand this line from the chaplet. All good things come from God: our intellect, our will, our health, etc. Whenever we give anything to God — be it in the form of prayer or fasting or good works, etc. — we are really giving back to him what is already his. Yet he delights in this act. Our very act of giving things back to him, dedicating things to him, gives him glory and can help us grow in merit and grace. An analogy might help. Imagine a man has a 4-year-old daughter, and on Father’s Day she brings him a piece of colored paper decorated with flowers drawn in crayon with the phrase, “I love you Daddy.” Where did the 4-year-old get the paper and the crayon? From her dad. In this sense, she gave him back something that was already “his.” Yet that piece of paper might bring more joy to the dad than all the money in the world ever could. Why? Because he is deeply touched to see now his daughter, whom he loves dearly, wants to show her love for him. Now, the greatest gift to God the Father was his Son’s sacrifice on Calvary for the redemption of the world. Jesus willed that this event be re-presented throughout the ages in the holy sacrifice of the Mass, where the Eucharist — the body, blood, soul and divinity of Christ — is offered back to the Father. Jesus wants us to do this, hence the “Do this in memory me” line from the Gospel (see Luke 22:19). Ideally, we offer the Eucharist (through the priest) back to God with our own prayers and sacrifices. This is laudable and gives glory to God … sort of the way the 4-year-old can bring joy to her dad. I hope this helps.

Revving up the Revival

Dear Friends in Christ,

 

July 1 is the feast day of St. Junípero Serra, the Franciscan priest who established missions in California, beginning in San Diego.

Canonized in 2015, he was nonetheless vilified by recent critics who claim he mistreated native peoples.

It’s always a tricky business to apply 21st-century standards to 18th-century figures. Cultures change, and what can seem acceptable in one generation might appall a later one.

That isn’t a plug for moral relativism. Rather, it’s a reminder that historical figures need to be viewed in context. The Church certainly did that in the case of Junípero Serra and found his life to be exemplary.

Amid countless challenges, including physical ailments, he managed to build missions whose churches stand to this day.

He, like all saints, should prompt us to ask: What are we doing to build the Church?

Pope Leo, in a recent video message to his native Chicago, assured young people that they can be beacons of hope.

That is a message all of us can take to heart. The Holy Spirit desires to enkindle love and faith and hope in countless souls, but he wants the collaboration of those of us who are already blessed in so many ways.

Signs are growing of a new interest in religion. After years of pandemics and wars and social media nastiness, many people, including the young, are searching for something more humane, more fulfilling — and finding that religion has something to offer, after all.

A religious revival of sorts could be on the horizon. Now is the time for us to pitch in. For a dose of inspiration, our Retreat Guide on St. Elizabeth Ann Seton (Sitting in the Side Pew) might help.

St. Elizabeth, like St. Junípero, accompanies us in the here and now to help us follow their footsteps.

In Christ,

Father Edward McIlmail, LC

July 1, 2025 – Jesus Asleep in Your Boat

Listen to the audio version

Tuesday of the Thirteenth Week in Ordinary Time

 

Matthew 8:23-27

As Jesus got into a boat, his disciples followed him. Suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by waves; but he was asleep. They came and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!” He said to them, “Why are you terrified, O you of little faith?” Then he got up, rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was great calm. The men were amazed and said, “What sort of man is this, whom even the winds and the sea obey?”

Opening Prayer: Lord, I come to you today to give you thanks for all the blessings in my life. Please help me to remember that, no matter how dark this life gets for me, you are always in my boat and always ready to restore calm in my heart.

Encountering Christ:

  1. In the Darkest Times, Pray: “Lord, save us! We are perishing!” comes from Psalm 130 and is a de profundis prayer: “Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord. Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications” (v. 1-2). Psalm 130 is the official prayer of the Church for the Holy Souls in Purgatory. It is the prayer offered at the darkest times of our lives, when we feel completely powerless to help ourselves. Jesus sleeping in the midst of a storm is a very powerful image of God’s sovereignty over even the darkest times in our lives. St. Therese of Lisieux used to meditate on this passage in times of inner confusion or darkness. Yet she wouldn’t wake the Lord. For her, it was enough just to sit beside him as he slept.

  2. Yet You Are There: Notice that Jesus said, “O you of little faith.” These men had faith, but it was just too little. Their faith, like ours, grows only when it is tested. The Father knows what we need even before we ask. Jesus is always with the Father, and that reality is the key to peace in the storms of life. Do we believe that the Father will not try us beyond our strength? Do we believe that faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains? Lord, please increase our faith.

  3. The Power of Jesus: Just before this passage, in Matthew 8, Jesus cleansed a leper, healed a centurion’s servant, and healed many at the house of Peter. He was truly a physical healer. Here, we also saw his power over nature; even the winds and the seas obeyed him. Yet, all these healings pale in comparison to his power to heal us from the worst affliction of all and the only one that matters: sin. Jesus came to take away sin by becoming sin and crucifying it on the cross, in his very person. He paid a price we couldn’t pay for our sins that he didn’t commit. There is no greater love—and no greater power—than the power of Jesus Christ, the only son of God. The Gospels of Mark (4) and Luke (8) also tell their version of this calming of the storm at sea. In his famous painting of “The Storm on the Sea of Galilee,” Rembrandt depicted this scene in all its terror. When we imagine ourselves in the scene, how do we react?

Conversing with Christ: Lord, I know you are with me in all the storms of my life. I know that you will never leave me orphaned. Help me to cry out to you in desperate times. Lord, I believe. Increase my faith.

Resolution: Lord, today by your grace I will pray with Psalm 130 and, if possible, commit it to memory.

For Further Reflection: View the famous Rembrandt painting of “The Storm on the Sea of Galilee” online and ponder Jesus always being in the boat of your soul.

Janet Scanlan is a lifelong Catholic, wife, mother, and grandmother, who is passionate about helping people know and live the love of Christ through marriage ministry, evangelization, writing, and work as a spiritual director.

The Regnum Christi Identity

Alex Kucera

Atlanta

Alex Kucera has lived in Atlanta, GA, for the last 46 years. He is one of 9 children, married to his wife Karmen, and has 3 girls, one grandson, and a granddaughter on the way. Alex joined Regnum Christi in 2007. Out of the gate, he joined the Helping Hands Medical Missions apostolate and is still participating today with the Ghana Friendship Mission.

In 2009, Alex was asked to be the Atlanta RC Renewal Coordinator for the Atlanta Locality to help the RC members with the RC renewal process. Alex became a Group Leader in 2012 for four of the Atlanta Men’s Section Teams and continues today. Running in parallel, in 2013, Alex became a Team Leader and shepherded a large team of good men.

Alex was honored to be the Atlanta Mission Coordinator between 2010 to 2022 (12 years), coordinating 5-8 Holy Week Mission teams across Georgia. He also created and coordinated missions at a parish in Athens, GA, for 9 years. Alex continues to coordinate Holy Week Missions, Advent Missions, and Monthly missions at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Cumming, GA.

From 2016 to 2022, Alex also served as the Men’s Section Assistant in Atlanta. He loved working with the Men’s Section Director, the Legionaries, Consecrated, and Women’s Section leadership teams.

Alex is exceptionally grateful to the Legionaries, Consecrated, and many RC members who he’s journeyed shoulder to shoulder, growing his relationship with Christ and others along the way. He knows that there is only one way, that’s Christ’s Way, with others!
