Sunday Sermon, November 30 -- St Andrew and Advent

 St Andrew is a great Advent saint, with the first Sunday of Advent being the Sunday closest to his feast day.

Andrew and John the Evangelist are the two great disciples of John the Baptist, and their feasts are the opening and closing of Advent season - while St John the Baptist is the solemn cry which personifies Advent.

This sermon continues our series of sermons on the Apostles - others can be found [here]!

Adult Faith Formation, November 25th -- The Books of Maccabees, Session 7 -- The Books of Maccabees and the Sacred Liturgy

 In this final session of our series on the Maccabees, we discuss the feast of the seven martyred brothers of the Maccabees and also the use of the books of Maccabees in the readings of Mass and the Divine Office (TLM and Novus Ordo).

Sunday Sermon, November 23rd -- The Mercy of God, The Second Coming, and The Dies Irae

 Qui Mariam absolvisti, et latronem exaudisti, mihi quoque spem dedisti.

The mercy of Jesus (as shown to Mary Magdalene and to the good thief) gives us hope as we contemplate the day of judgement.

The Dies Irae is not intended to make is fear, but rather to trust in the Lord's mercy. At the final judgment, we will proclaim God's mercy in a way that even the angels will not be able to - for we have received the forgiveness of our sins.
