Give Thanks: The Ten Lepers & Active Participation in the Mass

About this sermon

Is my religion just forms and checklists—or an affair of the heart? In this homily for the 13th Sunday after Pentecost, we explore the Church’s teaching on almsgiving (Aquinas), the purpose of the Law and the Promise (Galatians), and the healing of the Ten Lepers (Luke 17)—with Blessed Dom Columba Marmion guiding us into the true “active participation” the Church asks of us: union with Christ in the sacred liturgy. We also share a practical call to charity for our brothers and sisters among the Chaldean Catholics in Iraq. If you’re able, consider almsgiving to support urgent needs. (Site mentioned: helpiraq.org) What’s inside Why almsgiving is a precept of charity (St. Thomas Aquinas; St. Ambrose) How the liturgy forms our minds and hearts (Blessed Dom Columba Marmion) The “spiral staircase” of the liturgical year—deeper each time The Law vs. the Promise in Galatians 3 (Abraham’s seed & the New Covenant) The Ten Lepers: gratitude, Eucharist (“eucharistōn”), and true participation Examination of conscience: forms vs. ends; means vs. holiness; union with Christ 🙏 Support Iraqi Christians (Chaldean Catholics): helpiraq.org 📖 Readings referenced: Galatians 3; Psalm 73 (72); Luke 17:11–19 🕯️ Fathers & Doctors referenced: St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Ambrose, Venerable Bede, St. Hilary of Poitiers, Blessed Dom Columba Marmion 00:00 Intro 00:18 Almsgiving & urgent help for Chaldean Catholics (helpiraq.org) 03:06 What “active participation” really means 04:07 Guided by the liturgy (Blessed Dom Columba Marmion) 05:53 Each mystery has unique graces 08:11 The liturgical year as a “spiral staircase” 09:39 Two halves of the year: Christ & His Mystical Body 10:14 Scripture background sweep: covenants & kingdoms 11:52 Sinai, the Law, and transgressions 13:12 Solomon, division, and the northern apostasy 15:26 Samaritans & historical context 17:09 Incarnation, New Covenant, and fulfillment 18:45 End of the Old Covenant; the New in His Blood 20:56 Introit & Collect: judgment and the virtues 21:14 Galatians: Promise to Abraham, not works of the Law 22:32 The purpose of the Law—until the Seed came 23:40 Gospel: Ten Lepers & the Samaritan who returned 24:42 Forms vs. heart: a searching examen 26:00 Means vs. ends: union with Christ is the goal 27:14 “Eucharistōn”—thanksgiving and the Holy Mass 28:30 Final call to holiness For more please visit http://www.veritascaritas.com & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest. #Catholic #Homily #TraditionalLatinMass #Liturgy #Aquinas #Almsgiving #Galatians #Luke17 #Eucharist #ChaldeanCatholics #HelpIraq #DomColumbaMarmion #NewCovenant #ChristianCharity #SensusFidelium 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
