FIFTH SUNDAY OF LENT PASSION SUNDAY
Station—St. Peter in the Vatican
Passion Sunday!
The Cross of Christ is veiled, so that we may seek it, and Him who died on it, all the more. The holiest season of the year is at hand, so holy, that "all other seasons of the year prepare us for keeping this one duly and worthily. These present days call for special fidelity seeing that they bring us so near to that sublime mystery of the Divine Mercy, the blessed Passion of Jesus Christ." (from the Divine Office)
With an open mind and a willing heart let us approach the altar to celebrate the Passion Sunday Sacrifice with our High Priest, so that His "body, which shall be delivered for us, and His blood that shall be shed for us" may bestow upon us the promise of eternal inheritance in Christ Jesus Our Lord.
Let us pray: Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies. Teach me to do Thy will. Through Christ, Our Lord.
Stational Church of the Day!
Today's homily was given by our female pastoral associate. She is a good homilist and it was pretty good, but I had trouble getting past the fact that the homily didn't conform to the GIRM.
In a Catholic church? What parish was this?
Catholic Universty Center
I thought female homilists are forbidden? Am I wrong?
as well you should. This isn't correct.
They are. If you read the rest of my post I commented on that. I had a great deal of trouble getting past the fact I was watching something that is forbidden.
It's not just female homilists which are forbidden though, it would be better to say homilies by the laity are forbidden.
Why didn't you leave rather than in participate in "something that is forbidden"?
What was so "good" about her homily?
