25th Sunday after Pentecost 2023 The Introit and other prayers of this Mass are repeated every Sunday in the weeks approaching the conclusion of the liturgical year. The Church’s prayer gives us hope for our impending judgment. The Collect reminds us that we must not simply rely on words, but we must also act. A…
24th Sunday after Pentecost 2023 We should make a study of the saints for this coming week, each one of which gives an invaluable example to motivate our spiritual lives. Today is about charity. Nothing matters if we lack this great virtue. We must love our neighbors because God loves them. This was the example…
23rd Sunday after Pentecost 2023 It is very fitting this Sunday falls after the feast of All Saints this year, because in his Epistle St. Paul speaks of following the example of the saints. The lives, example, and instruction of the saints help us ascend to the heights of holiness. We know the value of…
