Sunday Sermon, March 22 -- A description of the Passion, part 1

We enter the season of Passiontide, in which we cover the Crucifix and also the statues and images with purple veils. The purple veil over the Cross symbolizes the many wounds with which Christ was covered. Even as he was so horribly disfigured in his Passion as to be unrecognizable, so too his image on the Cross is hidden and unrecognizable in Passiontide.

These wounds are a cry of love and a cry for love. He shows his love for us, and also calls for our love in return.

Here follows a vivid description of the passion of Jesus Christ, up to the 8th Station of the Cross inclusive.

Sunday Sermon, March 15 - Catechesis on Salvation by Grace through Faith

"By grace you are saved through faith"
"For God sent his Son into the world that whoever believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. [...] Whoever does not believe has already been condemned."



What it means to be saved by grace through faith.
Two modern errors: 1) The heresy of thinking that it's not important what we believe, so long as we are "good people".  2) The heresy that works are of no avail, but it is grace/faith alone that saves.

The nature of faith, and what it means to "believe".
