In a world today when faithful Catholics are being called ridged just because they hold fast to the letter and to the tradition, and when faithful Catholics are being fired from teaching positions and banned from teaching positions in the Church, while those who reject the dogma are being celebrated for their sins, the exhibition of this virtue of fortitude is becoming so vitally important to cling to. It is also the virtue that the liturgy and the Readings at Mass for this 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time are instilling in us.

While, the readings at the Holy Mass last Sunday for the 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time pointed to the things that the liturgy is teaching us to exalt in this life so that we might find true wealth, the readings for this Holy Mass are teaching us how to govern our lives so that we might live in truth wealth in this life and then in eternity.

In this third installment of the series 'They Hate Black Catholics' on Talking Catholic with David L. Gray, David traces the origins, cites examples, and explains how the systemic racism against Black Catholics lead them becoming easy prey for Democratic Party's magnificent trickery in convincing Black Americans that their cultural identity was intrinsically connected to them voting Democrat.

Together, these readings at the Holy Mass this Sunday point to the things that the liturgy is teaching us to exalt so that we might find true wealth. True wealth does not come by the methods of dishonest gain found in the world that we heard from the First and Gospel Readings today. Rather, paradoxically, true wealth is found in the poverty of Christ Jesus, who had nothing to ransom for our salvation, but His very life.

Together, these readings at the Holy Mass this Sunday point to a central intent of liturgy. Through repetition of speaking and singing not our own words, but those of the Church, and through kneeling and standing and sitting not according to our own time, but in union with the Church, the liturgy is teaching us that God is completely other than us and that we are completely equal with one another.

Together, these readings at the Holy Mass this Sunday remind us of the fact that like a young boy in love God trips over Himself; going through extreme measures to court us, to woo us, and to bring us home. The liturgy not only celebrates this undying love of God for His People, but it also forms us to be a type of People who are always making themselves present to their Creator so that He might be more fully present to them all the days of their lives.

Another homosexualized Jesuit parish is trying to normalize sodomy. In this podcast, I'm talking Catholic about the homosexualization as a form of corruption and why the Church must die to be born again.

Born into a world where slavery had been normalized it took centuries for the doctrine of the Catholic Church to overcome secular ideas as this. In the meantime, it's bishops, priests, and laity owned, sold, and mistreated slaves. This racist practice also lead to the creation of the Jim Crow Black Catholic Church.

Together, these readings at the Holy Mass this Sunday point to a principal lesson of the liturgy. The liturgy intends to form and shape us into a humble people so that we might worthily receive the one thing that we can never earn in this life, but is also the one thing that we were created to receive.

Together, these readings at the Holy Mass this Sunday sings of how the liturgy strengthens our faith in the hope of the coming of the New Jerusalem.
