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 Easter Sunday?
Tell us about attendance especially for the Traditional Latin Mass.
Any local changes or (hopefully good) news?
A taste of what I offered at 1 Peter 5 this week:
The pastoral edge of the text is impossible to ignore in any age, and present circumstances make it all the more urgent. When public and manifest grave sinners present themselves within the Eucharistic assembly, and when shepherds refuse to address the scandal, the damage extends beyond the individual. Scandal instructs. It de-catechizes by example. It tells others that what is plainly contrary to the Gospel and the law of God may safely coexist with sacramental communion. Paul will have none of it. “Drive out the wicked person from among you.” He is speaking of those inside the Church. The community has duties toward its own members. This is not contrary to charity. It is one of charity’s hard forms. It serves the sinner’s good and protects the Church from contagion.
