1st Sunday of Advent - Year A SUNDAY HOMILIES FROM AUSTRALIA - April 28, 2013 Isaiah 2:1-5; Romans 13:11-14; Matthew 24:37-44 It's always a pleasure on this day, the first Sunday of Advent, to turn both the Missal and the Lectionary from the very last page back to the very first page, to begin the celebration of the paschal mystery all over again. Today is a Mass of beginnings. Firstly we begin a new liturgical year. There are three of them: Year A when we read the Gospel of Matthew; Year B when we read the Gospel of Mark; and Year C when we read ...http://homiliesfromaustralia.blogspot.com/2013/04/1st-sunday-of-advent-year-a_28.html
1st Sunday of Advent - Year A SUNDAY HOMILIES FROM AUSTRALIA - May 13, 2013 ... only a new three year liturgical cycle, but also the first Sunday of the rest of our lives. We are being called to start afresh and what better way to do that than from Christ? The second inspiration for this change is Pope John Paul II. In his Apostolic Letter NOVO MILLENNIO INEUNTE, at the beginning of the new millennium, he exhorted the whole Church to start afresh from Christ and to begin our 'starting' by contemplating the Face of Christ.

1st Sunday of Advent - Year C SUNDAY HOMILIES FROM AUSTRALIA - April 29, 2013 Jeremiah 33:14-16; 1Thessalonians 3:12 - 4.2; Luke 21:25-28.34-36 Advent plays havoc with our tenses - future, present, past. We wait for what has already come and celebrate what has not yet arrived. It's all a bit confusing! The trouble is that God has no tenses, no past, no present, no future; he dwells in an eternal Now. We poor humans, on the other hand, are formed in time and space. Our now is that tiny instant where what was and what will be rub together ...http://homiliesfromaustralia.blogspot.com/2012/12/1st-sunday-of-advent-year-c.html
Celebrating St. David's Day THE DIARY OF A SOWER - March 3, 2013 ... in Wales. (Incidentally, I picked up a copy inexpensively on eBay; the prices listed on Amazon are rather crazy!) We also checked out a few websites about St. David, including this short biography of him on American Catholic.org, this page on New Advent, this page on SQPN.com, this page from the National Museum of Wales website and this page from the Visit Wales tourism website. I thought it would be fun to watch a movie about the country of Wales. Unfortunately, our library ...http://diary-of-a-sower.blogspot.com/2013/03/celebrating-st-davids-day.html

"Gloria Patri", like the hours of the Divine Office, but without Alleluia. The opening prayer of the 1595 version is suppressed. The Litany of the Saints formerly sung immediately after it is suppressed, and with it, the proper invocations made by the bishop over the cemetery during the Litany. The blessing of holy water is done before the ceremony, rather than within it. The bishop therefore begins immediately to sprinkle holy water around the cemetery, going ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheNewLiturgicalMovement/~3/koiPrxWyjb8/compendium-of-1961-revision-of_17.html
Quasimodo Sunday ROMA LOCUTA EST - April 5, 2013 In the new Roman Missal, the name of the Second Sunday of Easter has been recast as "Sunday of Divine Mercy," promulgated by the now Blessed Pope John Paul II. A great feast it is indeed, yet "Sunday of Divine Mercy" is not the first name to have replaced the generic "Second Sunday of Easter." Before John Paul II promulgated Divine Mercy, the Second Sunday of Easter was known as "Quasimodo Sunday." Why? Quite simply: for the same reason ...http://causafinitaest.blogspot.com/2013/04/quasimodo-sunday.html
