Exodus 19 tells us that it was on the third new moon of the year that the Israelites arrived at Sinai, to worship God as Moses had been told in Exodus 3. Calculations reveal that the 10 commandments were given 50 days after the Passover (hence the New Testament name for the Feast for this occasion, Pentecost). In verses 4-6 Yahweh reminds Israel of His might exercised on their behalf and His care for His people. He was like a mother eagle: Deuteronomy 32 verses 5-13. Israel were called to holiness; to be a kingdom of priests to bring the nations to the God of Israel. The same is true for believers now (1 Peter 2verses 5-6).Verses 7-15 tell us that the waiting Israelites must reverently prepare for the coming awesome occasion when God would deliver the ten commanding words to His people. They were terrified by the prospect. But were even more disturbed by the events of that day. The writer to the Hebrews described these events in chapter 12 verses 18-21, but we also find by contrast the wonderful situation for faithful believers in Christ Jesus (Verses 22-28). The drama of the day when the Law was first given is captured by the build up reconstructed in verses 16-24. So terror struck were the people that they pleaded for Moses to speak with God in order that they die not.Chapter 20 enumerated the Ten Commandments. They started with those which outlined their responsibilities to God and concluded with those duties to their fellow human beings (Matthew 22 verses 34-40). The first is our priority – God must be first in our lives (Interestingly the 10th teaches us the same lesson – “You shall not covet”. Anything which takes our love away from God; anything which reduces our service to Him is an idol Colossians 3:1-5, emphasis on verses 5; Luke 12 verses13-21;and 1 John 5 verses 19-21. Interestingly the second commandment in verse 4 of Exodus 20 is “You shall not make graven images” is omitted in the Catholic Bible, which breaks the tenth commandment into two in that version. This is unsurprising as nearly all Catholic Churches are filled with icons and images which they worship. The fourth commandment's principles have been important from the beginning of creation; but, also interestingly enough, is the only commandment to not be reiterated in the New Testament. The fifth commandment also is unique in that it is the only command with a blessing that accompanies its observance – “Honour your father and your mother, that your days may be long on the earth”: Ephesians 6verses 1-4. Paul tells us that God places great importance on this command, and therefore we ought to take great care to carry it out. Commandments 6-10 appear to be negative don't do this, don't do that. But consider the import of what they taught to the spiritually minded – Romans 12 verses12-21;James 2:8-13. So, although the Law of Moses given to the Israelites at Sinai is not binding on believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, the principles of the Ten Commandments are enduring and teach us how we should live in this present evil world; as we await the coming of our King. For those commandments were written by “the finger of God”: Exodus 31 verse18. Verses 22 to the end of Exodus 20 describe the construction of, and worship at, altars. They were to be made from whole stones shaped by God without human embellishments – speaking of Christ,our altar: Hebrews 13 verses10-16. No flesh was to be exposed by any worshipper, telling us of the devotion and reverence needed when drawing near to our God.

No flesh was to be exposed by any worshipper, telling us of the devotion and reverence needed when drawing near to our God. Psalm 73 commences Book 3 of the Psalms. They are the Leviticus psalms to the theme of “In the Sanctuary”. The issues addressed in this Psalm are the same as those in Psalm 37. Though the wicked appear to prosper – an illusion – in the end those who reverently serve God will dwell eternally in His Sanctuary on earth, when Messiah reigns. Despite the evidence that the LORD has been good to His people, the psalmist envies the wicked. The evildoers seem to go unpunished despite their failure to be subjected to any of God's commandments. The psalmist describes their scorn for the Almighty, shown by their lifestyle; which seemed to say, that there is no God; or He is indifferent to my behaviour. Were this true, the writer declares, there would be no point in following the ways of the LORD. Similar arguments were put by the wrongdoers at the time of Malachi's prophecy. The writer says that it was only when he came to worship in the Temple that he understood the hopeless end for the wicked. But when one comes to understand the fear of God in the Sanctuary, then our thinking is reversed. It is the evil and their way of living that sealed their doom. The psalmist became thankful for God's faithfulness and deliverance. And so the writer declares his joy in that his Creator is with him; and he could not ask for any better situation. No matter what could befall him his confidence remains unshakable. And so he encourages his hearers to make Yahweh their everlasting hope. In Mark 6 Jesus returns to Nazareth where the previous 28 years of his life were spent. There above all other towns he should have been acclaimed. But this was not to be; as he declares “a prophet is without honour in his own country”. In the words of John 1:12 “he came to his own and his own received him not”. His capacity for healing here was limited by their unbelief. The twelve Apostles were sent out with a message for the hearers to repent. Their message was supported by the testimony of miracles. There follows a lengthy account of the death of John the Baptist – which includes Herod's respect for John's character. This was a trial for both the vicious Herod and the virtuous John. The Jezebel-like Salome secured John's death. The report of John's demise was devastating for Jesus, who sought solitude and time to reflect – his own death was but 12 months away. But crowds sought him and he had compassion for them, as they were “sheep lacking a shepherd”. Joshua had asked the same request of Yahweh following Moses' death. 5,000 men, not counting women and children, are fed from five loaves and two fish. The twelve baskets of fragments are collected. The remains were greater than the initial fare. One lesson being that through Israel Messiah would feed the world. After this our Lord walks upon the Sea of Galilee indicating that he has power over the nations. And finally the boat into which Jesus enters reaches the shore. In this Jesus demonstrates that he would be the healer of the nations.

Facebook-f X-twitter Instagram Youtube Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Jn 1:1-18 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.  All things came to be through him, and without him nothing came to be. What came to be through him was life, and this life was the light of the human race; the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. A man named John was sent from God. He came for testimony, to testify to the light,  so that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to testify to the light. The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world came to be through him, but the world did not know him. He came to what was his own, but his own people did not accept him. But to those who did accept him he gave power to become children of God,  to those who believe in his name,  who were born not by natural generation  nor by human choice nor by a man's decision  but of God. And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father's only-begotten Son, full of grace and truth. John testified to him and cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘The one who is coming after me ranks ahead of me because he existed before me.'” From his fullness we have all received, grace in place of grace, because while the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God. The only-begotten Son, God, who is at the Father's side,  has revealed him.

In this conversation, Will Wright speaks with Fr. Lawrence Lew, OP about his book 'Entering Heaven on Earth: The Signs, Symbols, and Saints of Catholic Churches,' which explores the signs, symbols, and saints of Catholic churches. They discuss the importance of meditation in the Rosary, the significance of sacred architecture and art, and the role of beauty in worship and liturgy. Father Lew shares his personal journey of faith and the impact of beauty in churches, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of the Scriptures and the theological implications of beauty in the Catholic tradition. In this conversation, Fr. Lawrence Lew OP and Will Wright explore the significance of Catholic churches, their architecture, and the symbols within them as a means to deepen faith and understanding. They discuss the importance of mystery in liturgy, the ongoing journey of learning about faith, and how beautiful church spaces can enhance the experience of encountering God.

Lawrence Lew, OP, shows you how to decode the signs and symbols found in our churches and to identify the saints depicted in them. This richly illustrated book filled with photographs the author has taken of churches from around the world will help you to see the churches you worship in or visit from a fresh perspective and to remember the true purpose of a church building.A church is a visible expression of heaven come down to earth in the person of Jesus Christ.

Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Father Charles Murr joins Terry Gospel - Lk 7:1-10 - When Jesus had finished all His words to the people, He entered Capernaum. A centurion there had a slave who was ill and about to die, and he was valuable to him. When he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, asking Him to come and save the life of his slave. They approached Jesus and strongly urged Him to come, saying, "He deserves to have You do this for him, for he loves our nation and he built the synagogue for us." And Jesus went with them, but when He was only a short distance from the house, the centurion sent friends to tell Him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have You enter under my roof. Therefore, I did not consider myself worthy to come to You; but say the word and let my servant be healed. For I too am a person subject to authority, with soldiers subject to me. And I say to one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come here, and he comes; and to my slave, Do this, and he does it." When Jesus heard this He was amazed at him and, turning, said to the crowd following Him, "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith." When the messengers returned to the house, they found the slave in good health.

Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel - Lk 6:20-26 - Raising His Eyes toward His disciples Jesus said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for the Kingdom of God is yours. Blessed are you who are now hungry, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who are now weeping, for you will laugh. Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude and insult you, and denounce your name as evil on account of the Son of Man. Rejoice and leap for joy on that day! Behold, your reward will be great in heaven. For their ancestors treated the prophets in the same way. But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. But woe to you who are filled now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will grieve and weep. Woe to you when all speak well of you, for their ancestors treated the false prophets in this way.”

Patrick tackles the tough issue of conscience versus preference in observing Church laws. He explores a real-life example of someone not attending mass due to grieving, and clarifies that preference is not the same as a well-formed conscience. He also debunks the notion that personal preference, such as attending only the traditional Latin mass, excuses one from Sunday obligations. The takeaway? As Catholics, it's paramount to properly form our consciences and adhere to Church obligations, even when it's challenging.   Joanne - I thought you were crazy the first time I listened to you but now I listen to you all the time and this show is a blessing.
