Lord's Day Reflections with Lawrence Westfall

Low Sunday (2025) - My Lord and My God


Listen Later

Happy Lord’s Day!


Today is Low Sunday in the Tridentine Mass. The reading is from the Gospel according to St. John 20:19-31. However, this is the same reading in the Novus Ordo Mass for this Second Sunday of Easter. I have chosen to use the biblical translation from the Tridentine Missal and therefore have opted to use name for this Sunday from the 1962 Mass.


The title of this message comes from the phrase St. Thomas used after seeing and touching our Lord. “Dóminus Meus et Deus Meus” in Latin and “My Lord and My God” in English.


The reading this Sunday speaks about the Sacrament of Confession/Reconciliation, doubting Thomas, and the mention of how everything Jesus said and did aren’t recorded in the Holy Bible.


In this lesson you will find out how Christ instituted the Sacrament of Confession/Reconciliation and how it is recorded in Scripture and carried on through the ministry of the Church. We will look at the doubt of St. Thomas that Christ was truly risen and the profound meaning behind it. Last of all, we will see how “Sola Scriptura (Latin)” or “Scripture Alone (English)” is defeated using the Bible alone itself.


It is my hope that you will enjoy this message and perhaps hear something you needed to hear or take away from this message something that you can use to evangelize to non-Catholics.


Thank you for joining me on this Lord’s Day or whenever you might listen to this reflection/message.


God Love You!
