July 19, 2024 The Sabbath, the Lord’s Day, and Sunday Rest
Episode 87: Year B – 16th Sunday of Ordinary Time
In this episode of the Sunday Catholic Word, we focus on two details in the readings for this upcoming 16th Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year B. The first detail is found in the second reading, taken from Ephesians 2:13-18. The relevant apologetical topic is that we as Christians are no longer bound by the ceremonial precepts of the Old Covenant, which would include the Sabbath. The second detail is in the Gospel reading, which is taken from Mark 6:30-34. The relevant topic, which isn’t all that apologetical in nature, is the Church’s teaching on the proper rest that needs to be taken on the Lord’s Day.

July 12, 2024 The Initial Grace of Salvation
Episode 86: Year B – 15th Sunday of Ordinary Time
In this episode of the Sunday Catholic Word, we focuse on three details in the readings for this upcoming 15th Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year B, one of which comes from the second reading, taken from Ephesians 1: 3-14. The relevant apologetical topic is the gratuity of the initial grace of salvation. The other two details are found in the Gospel reading, which is taken from Mark 6:7-13. The first detail has to do with the topic of Jesus’ authority over unclean spirits, which he gives to the apostles. The second detail is the report that the twelve went out anointing the sick with oil and healing them. This, of course, relates to the topic of the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick.
