6th Sunday after Pentecost 2021
Patriotism is part of the virtue of piety and recalled today. This Sunday has humility as a theme and it is easy to remember because without God’s help we are sinners and that thought should keep us humble. Mortal sin is the worst thing in the world and venial sin is the second worst. We must be models to others because of the gifts given to us. Scandal results instead if we cause others to sin. The Gospel was the multiplication of the loaves and fishes and a pre-figuring of the Holy Eucharist and the Mass. The importance of the traditional Latin Mass is seen clearly from the encyclical, “Quo Primum”, by Saint Pius V. This reading of the document is a powerful reminder of this.
