     | 3,042 views

    Though the musical establishment try to stop it, the Church will have music that gives primacy to the Word of God

    Monday of 2nd Week of Easter St. Athanasius–2011 May 2, 2011 The coincidence of these readings with the Feast of St. Athanasius is, I believe, unique in our lifetime.

    We can see in the writing of the story of Cornelius and Jesus's words about the sheepfold very helpful examples of the literal and spiritual senses of Scripture.

    Monday of 4th Week of Easter Verbum Domini The richness of today’s Scripture readings should suggest to us a couple of responses. First, we need several hours of study of the text and its meanings. Second, we should, in worshipful awe, spend a few more hours before the Blessed Sacrament ...read more

    Complaining became the rubric under which the journey was interpreted.

    In our First Reading we heard Exodus 16:2, “The whole Israelite community grumbled against Moses and Aaron.” It reminds me of the story of a lady who was a veritable fount of complaints. Her pastor came by to see her one day and she began to enumerate some of her complaints: “The neighbor’s ...read more
