Quinquagesima Sunday 2020
The Epistle for today teaches the importance of the supernatural virtue of charity which is not to be confused with natural human kindness. Charity not only enables us to love God and neighbor but it gives us knowledge beyond the highest attainable during our earthly lives. Today was also the clothing day for one of our seminarians and the sermon continued on the topic of a vocation to the priesthood and religious life. The importance of grace as a necessity for supernatural endeavors was explained. The following qualities are essential during the future preparation for service to the Church: perseverance, trust in God, distrust of self, dedication and strength in adversity. All of these will aided by the sacramental of the religious habit.
