Plucking the Crucifixion out of eternity

Holy Thursday. April 1, 2010

Gospel: John 13:1-15. The Last Supper

Summary: The same body and blood offered the next day on the cross happens on our altars every day. Crucifixion does not remain on a hill in Jerusalem. The Mass is not just a bunch of holy words. Protestants don’t believe in the body and blood of Christ. Catholics who leave the Church lose this. The Mass is the difference in our lives between salvation and damnation.

This video homily is brought to you by the Georgetown Visitation Sisters in Washington, D.C. Saint Francis de Sales’ “little virtues” of gentleness, kindness, humility, and cheerful optimism shape monastic life for these sisters.

Forgiveness — though the media deny it, Christians must offer it

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

Fourth Sunday of Lent. Mar. 14, 2010
Fr. Anthony Brankin
Gospel: Luke 15: 1 – 3, 11 – 32. The Prodigal Son

Summary: The media are so involved in our lives — they tell us what to think and believe. They teach us that there is no God, and thus no sin, and therefore no forgiveness. Yet the media is made up of seriously flawed people. The day may come when we need forgiveness, and we find ourselves neither asking for it, nor accepting it. Christ tells us that we must offer forgiveness from our hearts, as often as others ask for it.

This homily is brought to you by Questions For God Books, which offers a children’s book series and DVD that will help children three years old and older learn about God’s plan for salvation and everlasting life.
