Your Sunday Sermon Notes: 3rd Sunday after Pentecost (N.O. 10th Ordinary) 2024

Too many people today are without good, strong preaching, to the detriment of all. Share the good stuff.

Was there a GOOD point made in the sermon you heard at your Mass of obligation for this 3rd Sunday after Pentecost, or the 10th Sunday of Ordinary Time?

Tell about attendance especially for the Traditional Latin Mass.

Any local changes or (hopefully good) news?

A couple thoughts about the sign of the cross: HERE  A taste…

There are so many ways to intoxicate the mind available in this technological jungle which is filled with roaring and slithering.  Peter wasn’t just talking about wine.  He was also talking about the allurements of the world which the pagans indulged in.  He would be today, if I may be so bold, talking about these little telescreens in our hands.  Have you seen how some people watch their phones?  It borders on obsessive adoration.  Is there a more effective lion of soul-ripping teeth than something which can pour evil and addictive images along with sheer idiocy into our minds like hot and old running cocaine?  These are dangerous times for the life of the mind and for the health (salvation) of souls.

    11am NO sermon from our permanent deacon. Paraphrasing-serious sin separates us from God. We need to go to Confession (where do I hear that a lot!). Confession re-establishes our relationship with God. Refusal to acknowledge our sin and seek forgiveness is the unforgivable sin against the Holy Spirit. If we stay stuck in our sin then the Sacraments will be of no value to us because our souls are dead. If we stay separated from God it will lead to eternal loss (I wish he’d said ‘damnation’ but maybe that would have been a step too far!). On the whole a very good sermon, especially in NO world.

    Sermon at 8 am TLM. Well attended.
    Father shared a homily from Pope Gregory The Great.
    Lady lit a lamp to search for the lost groat ( silver piece ).
    The lamp is the Holy Ghost. The groat was one of Ten ( Commandments ). The 1st.
    Our Lord’s parables have a greater depth and richness than most of us realize.
    Sadly – We are losing one of 2 priests. Papal nuncio was in town a few weeks ago. Connected ?

    Today was something like Black Sunday as lots of parishes are getting the bad news that the reality of priestly mortality means they’ll be closing as the diocese projects its number of available priests will decline about 75% in the next 15 years (and it is already down nearly 75% from the peak). A diocese that once had 300 parishes (and still has over 150) expects to have less than 40 priests available in the very near future due to retirement and death.

    The sermon was aimed at this idea – just because we may be fine for now, priests don’t live forever so vocations need to be encouraged.

    the large national Eucharistic procession intersected my usual Mass resulting almost certainly in the size of the crowd violating the fire code. even the choir loft had about a dozen extra musicians for two settings of O Sacrum Convivium – one in the vernacular – and one Ave Verum Corpus in addition to the sung portions of the lectionary and the hymns.

    The archbishop spoke from the kathedra and as always was masterful both as to his delivery and composition. He spoke of the reality of sin and its impact on each of us. He elaborated on the sin of our first parents and that each of us, whenever we put our own judgment ahead of divine revelation repeat that same sin. Worse, persisting in that unrepentant state is the sin which the Lord Himself said will not be forgiven. He encouraged us to meditate on any aspect of divine revelation that we seek to water down.

    I was especially encouraged to see how many young religious were present.

    The vice-rector of the local seminary was filling in this morning. One of his major points was regarding the calendarical transition from three major feasts on Sundays (Pentecost, Trinity, Corpus Christi) to “ordinary time”; Father advised the gathered faithful that it’s properly “tempus per annum” – time through the year – and even mentioned that, before the “liturgical reforms” that Sundays from now to Advent were numbered as those after Pentecost, reminding our forebears that Pentecost was a major inflection point on our sojourn through the Church’s year.

    NO/OF so Genesis on the Fall, and Mark on the scribes, and Jesus family, thinking He was possessed. Homily on – be wary lest the Father of Lies beguile you. How easy it is to drift step by tiny step into serious sin, and don’t think that demonic possession is a misunderstanding of past ages. Every diocese has an exorcist, and some currently need four.
    We always get a couple of minutes silence to digest the sermon, I think we got a slightly longer time, and there was a noticeable stillness during it.

    Was in California for a wedding, fortunately the wedding hotel was only a short walk from an old mission built in the 18th century. Went to 8AM masses on Fri, Sat, Sun. I was happy to see two young postulants on Sunday morning as the priests I met were both quite elderly. The masses were extremely informal, no confiteor even on Friday which celebrated the feast of the Sacred Heart. Elderly but active Irish priest on Sat and Sun wanted to make sure we all knew God loved us and urged the congregation to start coming back to Mass, and listed several serious sins that might cause one to think oneself unworthy of coming to Mass. Don’t let that keep you from Mass, he says. But he never mentioned confession? He walked down the aisle both at the beginning of Mass asking who was from out of town and during the sermon and spoke to a few people face to face during prayers of the people. Everyone was very nice and this priest was very kind, but the way they celebrated Mass was not for me.
