“Is the Eucharist a Literal Sacrifice or a Symbolic Act?” This episode delves into the nature of the Eucharist, addressing questions like whether Jesus spoke symbolically when He said, “This is my body,” and how His command to ‘eat my flesh and drink my blood' aligns with Jewish law. We also explore the implications of Jesus' words, “Do this in remembrance of me,” and the teachings of the Book of Hebrews. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:36 – Wasn't Jesus speaking symbolically when He said, “This is my body”? 15:15 – Wouldn't Jesus' command to ‘eat my flesh and drink my blood' violate Jewish law against consuming blood? 37:25 – Didn't Jesus say, “Do this in remembrance of me”? Doesn't that clearly indicate the Eucharist is a memorial, not a literal sacrifice? 40:20 – Doesn't the Book of Hebrews teach that Christ's sacrifice was ‘once for all'? How can the Catholic Mass be a true sacrifice without re-sacrificing Christ? 49:00 – Wouldn't Jesus' command to ‘eat my flesh' be cannibalism

Friends of the Rosary,Today, November 27, is Thanksgiving Day in the United States. In 1621, colonists in New England gave thanks to God for his abundant mercies and blessings. This became a tradition, and in 1863, Thanksgiving Day was proclaimed a legal holiday.It's worth noting that some historians believe the first Thanksgiving in America was a Catholic Mass held 50 years before the Plymouth settlement. These pilgrims were preceded by Spanish settlers in what became Florida. And that first "Thanksgiving" was Eucharistic.Anyway, today the Catholic Church celebrates Mass, asking that each person's gratitude to God may bear fruit in loving service to neighbor.Today is also the day of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, recalling when the Blessed Mother appeared to St. Catherine Labouré in 1830 and revealed the images of the medal to her.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Today in the final installment of The Catholic Mass Series, the U.S. District Superior for the Society of Saint Pius X, Fr. John Fullerton, joins the Director of Communications, James Vogel, to reflect on the importance of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and its central place in the life of both the SSPX and the Catholic Church as a whole. They discuss the interrelationship between The Catholic Mass Series and the prior series on the Crisis in the Church, including how the traditional Mass is integral to overcoming the crisis. Father also speaks to some of the practical challenges in making the traditional Mass available to all who seek it while offering advice to those who may be new to the ancient form of the Roman Rite.

Send us a textDid Vatican II require the priest to face the people? Short answer: no.In this episode, we unpack *ad orientem*—what it is, what the Roman Missal actually says, and why the Church's worship faces the Lord.— EPISODE SUMMARY —Fr. Dan and Ken walk through the Church's teaching and practice on Mass orientation. We clarify common misconceptions about Vatican II, explain the idea of “liturgical East,” look at the Roman Missal rubrics that tell the priest when to turn and face the people, and review the year-2000 Vatican clarification that versus populum is an option—not an obligation. Pastoral takeaways: mutual openness, reverence, and a vertical focus on God.— KEY POINTS —• What “ad orientem” means: priest and people facing the Lord together  • “Liturgical East”: crucifix/tabernacle as our shared focus  • Vatican II: what it did—and did **not**—say about orientation  • 1964 instruction on freestanding altars: an option for celebration facing the people  • Roman Missal rubrics: why “turn to face the people” appears (and what that implies)  • 2000 clarification (CDW): facing the people is **not** obligatory  • Benedict XVI (Cardinal Ratzinger): avoid labels; seek the best realization of the liturgy  • Pastoral how-to: reintroducing ad orientem prudently and catechetically— QUOTES/REFERENCES —• Michael Lang, *Turning Towards the Lord* (foreword by Joseph Ratzinger)  • General Instruction / Roman Missal rubrics (on turning to face the people)  • CDW, 2000 clarification on celebration facing the people— CHAPTERS —00:00 Intro — Ad Orientem Unveiled: What Vatican II Really Taught01:04 Homily begins: Fr Dan Yasinski: What Vatican II didn't say03:08 What “Ad Orientem” means & it's historical significance 05:28 Why “Liturgical East” matters (crucifix & tabernacle as focus)06:21 Does the Church allow for Ad Orientem?09:53 Benedict XVI (Ratzinger): mutual openness, not labels11:38 Interview with Fr Dan Begins - Did Vatican ask priest to face the people?15:36 Q&A segment: What are the rubrics? 18:24 How are the rubrics over looked?19:58 Why are the instructions from the Vatican on Ad Orientem ignored?22:32 Responding to the critics of Ad Orientem worship27:27 Is Ad Orientem worship non-inclusive?30:46 Conclusion & invitation: “We turn to the Lord”If this blessed you, please follow/rate the show and share it with a friend.  Support the showSupport this show and get all future episodes by email atwww.kenandjanelle.com

Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 04:40 – What can ordinary people do at Mass? Can lay people give blessings at communion? 11:49 – Why was there no OT reading before Vatican 2? 14:03 – Is Jesus really present in the Eucharist? 18:43 – We pray for those who have died and those who have fallen asleep. What does it mean to those who have fallen asleep? 30:02 – I got into a conversation with a sedevacantist.

It is the great plea of the {Catholic Church} at this day, in behalf of their transubstantiation, that, if we reject their oral or carnal manducation of the flesh of Christ and drinking of his blood, there cannot be assigned a way of participation of Christ, in the receiving of him in this sacrament, distinct from that which is done in the preaching of the word. But hereby, as we shall see, they only declare their ignorance of this heavenly mystery. But of this blessed, intimate communion with Christ, and participation of him in the divine institution of worship, believers have experience unto their satisfaction and ineffable joy.

Full Text of ReadingsThe Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (All Souls) Lectionary: 668The Saint of the day is Commemoration of All the Faithful DepartedThe Story of the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed The Church has encouraged prayer for the dead from the earliest times as an act of Christian charity. “If we had no care for the dead,” Augustine noted, “we would not be in the habit of praying for them.” Yet pre-Christian rites for the deceased retained such a strong hold on the superstitious imagination that a liturgical commemoration was not observed until the early Middle Ages, when monastic communities began to mark an annual day of prayer for the departed members. In the middle of the 11th century, Saint Odilo, abbot of Cluny, France, decreed that all Cluniac monasteries offer special prayers and sing the Office for the Dead on November 2, the day after the feast of All Saints. The custom spread from Cluny and was finally adopted throughout the Roman Church. The theological underpinning of the feast is the acknowledgment of human frailty. Since few people achieve perfection in this life but, rather, go to the grave still scarred with traces of sinfulness, some period of purification seems necessary before a soul comes face-to-face with God. The Council of Trent affirmed this purgatory state and insisted that the prayers of the living can speed the process of purification. Superstition easily clung to the observance. Medieval popular belief held that the souls in purgatory could appear on this day in the form of witches, toads or will-o'-the-wisps. Graveside food offerings supposedly eased the rest of the dead. Observances of a more religious nature have survived. These include public processions or private visits to cemeteries and decorating graves with flowers and lights. This feast is observed with great fervor in Mexico. Reflection Whether or not one should pray for the dead is one of the great arguments which divide Christians. Appalled by the abuse of indulgences in the Church of his day, Martin Luther rejected the concept of purgatory. Yet prayer for a loved one is, for the believer, a way of erasing any distance, even death. In prayer we stand in God's presence in the company of someone we love, even if that person has gone before us into death.

Today in The Catholic Mass Series, we ask the big question: Where do we go from here? After nearly 50 episodes on the liturgy, Fr. Palko helps us take stock of what we have learned about the Traditional Mass, the Novus Ordo Mass, and the confusion in the Church that underlies this crisis. What reforms are acceptable? At what point must changes in the liturgy be rejected? Can the liturgy develop without compromising the Faith? And what does fidelity look like in an age of confusion? As we approach the end of the series, we look ahead with realism, charity, and hope—knowing that true renewal must begin with holy priests, holy families, and unwavering love for the Faith.

The SSPX Podcast is produced by Angelus Press, which has as its mission the fortification of traditional Catholics so that they can defend the Faith, and reaching out to those who have not yet found Tradition.  – – – – – – What is the SSPX? The main goal of the Society of Saint Pius X is to preserve the Catholic Faith in its fullness and purity, to teach its truths, and to diffuse its virtues, especially through the Roman Catholic priesthood. Authentic spiritual life, the sacraments, and the traditional liturgy are its primary means of bringing this life of grace to souls. Although the traditional Latin Mass is the most visible and public expression of the work of the Society, we are committed to defending Catholic Tradition in its entirety: all of Catholic doctrine and morals as the Church has always defended them. What people need is the Catholic Faith, without compromise, with all the truth and beauty which accompanies it. https://sspx.org
