"Rejoicing in the LORD must be your strength!"
From the 11:30am Mass on Sunday, January 26, 2025 at the National Shrine of the Little Flower Basilica, the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C.
The overall theme is the last line of the first reading: "rejoicing in the LORD must be your strength!" I break it down into three points:
- Hope
- Parts of a Body
- Jesus takes it on
Resources:
- C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory, chapter "Membership"
- University of Mary, The Religion of the Day, Chapter IV "Catching All the Diseases of the World"
- Fulton J. Sheen, On the Demonic, p. 37: "The Church is not a continuing thing. It dies and lives again. It proceeds on the principal of Christ Himself, both priest and victim. We go along for a while, and we die. Like the serpent, we shed our skin. Like nature itself, we shed our leaves. Eventually there comes defeat, seeming decay, we are put in the grave, and then we rise again. The Church is always coming out of a tomb."
