    Awe at transcendence

    CATEGORY: SESSIUNCULUM — Fr. John Zuhlsdorf @ 3:12 pm

    St. John Chrysostom on Holy Communion:

    “Let us not, I beg you, slay ourselves by our irreverence, but with awe and purity draw near to it; and when you see it set before you, say to yourself: ‘Because of this Body am I no longer earth and ashes, no longer a prisoner, but free: because of this I hope for heaven, and to receive the good things therein, immortal life, the portion of angels, to converse with Christ’.”

    Slow day and slow work

    CATEGORY: SESSIUNCULUM — Fr. John Zuhlsdorf @ 10:51 am

    After the morning Mass, and breakfast, I have embraced a slow day today during which I can prepare more carefully the sermon for tomorrow’s Mass in the Cathedral of Camden for the Assumption.
