John's sacramental vision was translated into a church building with two centers--a center of the Word and a center of Eucharistic celebration
Feast of St. John Dec 27 2010 Spirit of the Liturgy It is very appropriate to be preaching on the Spirit of the Liturgy on the Feast of St. John, because both the letters and the Gospel of John are so sacramental. One useful definition of sacrament is Christ touching us through sacred signs. Our ...read more

How shall we acknowledge the sacrifice of Christ re-presented in the Mass: by facing together in prayer the cross--the sign of the Son of Man.
January 17, 2011 St. Anthony of the Desert Spirit of the Liturgy New wine does not go into old wineskins, so the synagogue-Temple services, on which the Catholic Mass is based, have been replaced by the Liturgy of the Word and the re-presentation of the Calvary sacrifice. Here, the great High ...read more

The paradox of wealth is that no matter what we own; the Lord is the source of it all! First fruits are the Lord’s
The Paradox of Wealth, 2 Corinthians 8:7-15 Introduction In today’s Scripture reading, we pick up on a similar theme. This is only once complete chapter away from the passage we examined last week. Now we pick up on the Apostle Paul instructing the Corinthian Church with regard to generosity and ...read more
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 8:7-15
Denomination: Christian Church
Worship is offering our whole, everyday lives to God, allowing His mercy to transform us so we bear fruit and reflect Christ in all we do.
Friends, welcome. I’m so glad you’re here. Some of you showed up with a smile, others with a sigh, and the Lord receives you just the same. He gathers us like a good Father gathers children at the table—hungry, hurried, hopeful. Grace has a way of finding us in the in-between: between loads of ...read more

Our action in the Holy Mass is to become one with Christ, to become holy through His grace, and to preach the truth of the Gospel.
Monday of 7th Week in Easter Spirit of the Liturgy At Ephesus, there were some disciples. They were probably emigres from Palestine who had settled in Asia Minor. They had received the baptism of repentance that John the Baptist had preached three decades earlier. This shows that there was a ...read more

The Church’s song is two millennia old and is deserving of use and respect
May 18, 2009 Sacramentum Caritatis Acts 16: 11-21 and John 15: 21-27 When we listen to the Gospel of Luke and the Acts, and to the Gospel of John as well, we get the impression that the Holy Spirit was more active in the early Church than today. Paul was forbidden by the Spirit–probably warned by ...read more
Scripture: John 15:21-27
Over and over in the Gospels we see the work of Christ culminate in a celebratory banquet, even in the healing of the little girl.
Monday of 5th Week in Course Feb 4 2012 Sacrosanctum Concilium The story of Jesus’s raising of the little girl, the daughter of Jairus, is one of the most touching in the Holy Gospels. The incident may have happened in Capernaum, St. Peter’s hometown, and it involved one of the ...read more
Scripture: Mark 5:21-43
This sermon calls us to identify and renounce generational idols, embracing wholehearted devotion to God so that His freedom and love transform our families.
Friends, every family has a box in the attic—old photos, faded letters, a quilt stitched by steady hands. Alongside those treasures come other hand-me-downs we don’t frame or display: patterns, pressures, and quiet preferences that keep tugging at our hearts. Maybe your household treasured hard ...read more

An Easter Sunday Sermon from 1991, based upon John 20:1-18.
What is there to say on this on this Easter Day? There is an ancient liturgy of the Church, a saying from our grandparents in the faith, so to speak. The worship leader, looking out on the people gathered for worship, would proclaim: "The Lord is Risen!" And the people respond: "He is risen ...read more

Yet few of us know that Holmes thought deduction and observation were even more necessary to religion. Tucked ...read more
Scripture: Psalm 100:1-5
Jesus is the true sacrifice which we re-present in our worship; he is a perfect sacrifice of obedience to the Father's will
Monday of 32nd Week in Course November 8, 2010 Spirit of the Liturgy What the New American Bible calls “things that cause sin,” and the RSV translates “temptations to sin,” is the word skandala, which is lousy Greek but good Hebrew. The word “scandal” means a ...read more
Scripture: John 17:1-6
We must worship God as he wishes, not as we wish.
Monday of 25th week in Course 20 Sept 2010 The Spirit of the Liturgy Try as we might, we cannot ever find Jesus “cutting a deal,” or negotiating the Truth. He seemed always to be spoiling for a confrontation with Sadducees–the crooks who ran worship–or Pharisees, or ...read more
Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:27-28
In Psalm 96, the Psalmist gives four commands and backs up each command with a reason for their obedience. Psalm 96:1-13 shows us the coming of the Lord to rule as king over all the earth.
Scripture Today is the Third Sunday of Advent in 2021. We continue in our sermon series, “Christ’s Advent in the Psalms.” On this Third Sunday of Advent, I want to examine Psalm 96. You may recall in our study of the life of King David that after he had been anointed king over Judah and Israel, ...read more

Both verbal and nonverbal communication between lovers is crucial; in the same way, the Bride and Bridegroom communicate in worship.
Monday of 18th Week in Course St. Alphonsus Spirit of the Liturgy The miracle of Jesus walking on water is found in all the Gospels except Luke’s. Only Matthew gives the incident in all its fullness, including Peter’s hesitant walk. There is something of a liturgical dialogue in that ...read more
