You Will Die the Death

Septuagesima Sunday 2022
This is the beginning of the Septuagesima season as we transition from the joys of Christmas towards the sorrows of Holy Week and the glories of the Resurrection.  The stational church for today is St. Lawrence outside the Walls which reminds us of the death we inherit from Adam and Eve because of the cemetery that is attached to this church.  The Gloria and Alleluia are dropped from today’s Mass to re-enforce the realization of our fallen state.  Parents should not imitate our first parents in exposing their children to dangers which can destroy God’s life in their souls.
