Today, we celebrate the Feast of our Lady of Good Counsel, the patroness
of the Catholic Women's League of Canada (CWL) which was established in 1920. Fr.
Brian McNally, the spiritual advisor of CWL in Kingston, talked in his homily about
the message of the angel of the Lord to Deacon Philip – “Get up and go towards
the south”. Father Brian’s own message is “Come and Go”, a rhythm he compared
to Jesus’ words to his disciples “Come and follow me.” In the bible reading, Philip was instructed by
the spirit to proclaim the good news of Jesus. He preached an Ethiopian eunuch and
baptized him with water. As Catholics, we are also inspired by the verse in the
bible to get closer to Jesus and follow His footsteps. We are asked to gather
in Christ and scatter His good news. We should attend the Holy Mass and
experience His love so as to give joy to others. We can invite others who are
lost in spirit to become Catholics and be baptized in our church.
