In this essay on the Liturgical Sense of the Readings at Mass, David L. Gray discusses the importance of Divine Mercy Sunday, linking it to the need for divine grace in having victory over the immoral moral inertia, akin to the law of inertia in physics. He emphasizes confession's role and the priest as a mediator, highlighting the necessity of seeking God's mercy for spiritual growth.
David L. Gray reflects on the transition from the old covenant to a new one through Christ's redemptive suffering as discussed in the readings for the Fifth Sunday in Lent - Year B: Jeremiah's prophecy of a new covenant, Christ’s call to embrace suffering, and how the Catholic Mass allows us to participate in Christ’s Passion, uniting us with His redemptive work. He contrasts the plea for deliverance in the old covenant with the new covenant's invitation to join in Christ's redemptive suffering.
David L. Gray reflects on the Lenten readings, emphasizing that God's persistence in not giving up on humanity is evident in the Catholic Mass, where we receive 'marpē', a term for healing cure from scripture. The readings discuss God using even a pagan king for His people's redemption, illustrating that through proper liturgical worship, we are healed and sent forth to act as healing ambassadors in the world. Lent reminds us of our failings, but through the sacraments, God provides constant 'marpē', encouraging us to live out our mission of sharing that healing with others.
