Day 194: Holy Is the Lord (2024)

Homily from the Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time. The freedom to love when you no longer feel like it. The precondition for love is freedom. Both the freedom to say no and the freedom to say yes, regardless of passing moods or circumstances. Tough love is willing to choose the good because God asked us to and because we said we would.<dl style="margin : 0; padding-top:0;"><dt style="font-weight:normal;"> Mass Readings from October 1, 2023:</dt><dt style="font-weight:normal;"> Ezekiel 18:25-28</dt><dt style="font-weight:normal;"> Psalms 25:4-9</dt><dt style="font-weight:normal;">Phillipians 2:1-11</dt> Matthew 21:28-32

In today’s reading from Acts, the Holy Spirit guides Peter to initiate ministry to the Gentiles, beginning with the family of Cornelius, a Roman centurion.

Mike reminds us to pursue Christian unity and avoid the dissension and infighting we see in the Church of Corinth. Today&#39;s readings are Acts 10, 1 Corinthians 1-2, Proverbs 27:21-22.

Veritas and Vocation | Sr. Jane Dominic Laurel, O.P.

Prayer is &quot;grace and grit,&quot; as Fr. Mike phrases it. In this section, one of Fr. Mike&#39;s favorites in the Catechism, we hear that &quot;we pray as we live because we live as we pray.&quot; This living and praying is a battle in which we must confront our failures and accept the Holy Spirit&#39;s grace and aid. Prayer requires humility, trust, and perseverance on our part. In this struggle, we must battle against distraction, ourselves, dryness, and temptation. Today&#39;s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2725-2731. 

This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Are the Virtues Natural? – Fr. John Sica, O.P.

Prof. Adam Eitel (Yale Divinity School) holds appointments in the Divinity School, the Program in Medieval Studies, and the Humanities Program. His research and teaching bring topics in the history of Christian theology to bear on questions of fundamental moral concern. A specialist in medieval scholasticism, his particular research interests span doctrinal and moral theology, especially in the works of Thomas Aquinas and his contemporaries. His first book, Thomas Aquinas and the Invention of the Preacher, examines the need for gifts of the Holy Spirit in light of the eliminable conditions of human folly; as this volume approaches the final stages of revision, he is also preparing a translation and critical introduction to Aquinas’s Contra impugnantes. His contributions to various journals include published and forthcoming essays in the Journal of Religious Ethics, Nova et Vetera, Studies in Christian Ethics, and The Thomist. Longer term aspirations include projects on the virtue of charity, the nature of sin, grace, eschatology, grief, and infant mortality.
