Podcasts about holy sacrifice

Send us a textOn June 13, 1929, Sister Lucia of Fatima received a mystical vision that revealed the true depth of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. As she knelt alone in adoration, the chapel was filled with supernatural light: the Cross, the Precious Blood, the Eucharist, and Our Lady of Fatima appeared above the altar in a moment of profound spiritual power.This Holy Thursday, we reflect on that vision—and what it unveils about the Mass, the Eucharist, and how heaven comes to us at every altar. The Catholic Church teaches that the Mass is Calvary made present, and Sister Lucia's experience confirms this in a breathtaking way.Whether you've followed us through Lent or are just joining, this reflection invites you to see the Eucharist with new eyes—and to welcome Jesus with renewed reverence.Support the showSupport this show and get all future episodes by email atwww.kenandjanelle.com

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we finish our discussion of Sacred Music in the Liturgy. There has long been tension between the creative and innovative developments of music with the need to regulate what is appropriate and fitting for use during the Holy Sacrifice. Does this mean that we need to only use music that has been composed centuries ago? What about some of the hymns that we have grown up with – are they appropriate? To answer these and other questions, we discuss what type of music is and is not proper during Mass.

Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Father Charles Murr joins Terry Gospel - Mark 2:18-22 - The disciples of John and of the Pharisees were accustomed to fast. People came to Jesus and objected, "Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?" Jesus answered them, "Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast. But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast on that day. No one sews a piece of unshrunken cloth on an old cloak. If he does, its fullness pulls away, the new from the old, and the tear gets worse. Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the skins are ruined. Rather, new wine is poured into fresh wineskins."

This week on The Catholic Mass Series, we look at mysteries and the nature of the Blessed Sacrament. There is a lot that we cannot comprehend fully about the Eucharist, but examining this great mystery of the Church, we can deepen our devotion to the Blessed Sacrament and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. In this episode, examine questions concerning Our Lord's real presence in the Eucharist. Then we discuss transubstantiation, and finally, the effects that Our Lord's presence can have on the soul of the recipient.

Today, we continue exploring the Theology of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass by focusing on its fundamental purpose and addressing key errors about it. We examine the parallels between minimizing Protestant hostility toward the Mass and efforts to justify the New Mass. Additionally, we consider historical objections to the Mass, such as the claim that faith and personal contact with Our Lord are sufficient for salvation, that a hierarchical priesthood is unnecessary, and that the Sacrifice of the Cross is distinct from the Mass celebrated on altars throughout Christendom.

A lamb “standing as if it had been slain, with seven horns and seven eyes”, strong enough to open the seven seals of God's judgment scroll. What does this tell us about Christ? What are the golden bowls full of incense and what do they reveal about the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass? It's all here in this episode of The Faith Explained with Cale Clarke.

In this episode Father Anthony delves into the book "Religious Customs in the Family" by Fr. Francis Weiser. He explains the importance of customs within the Church, and how certain customs shaped the way we as Catholics pray and how we believe. Father Weiser begins with the section titled "General Customs," i.e., those that apply to the entire Church. He starts with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the Eucharist.

Cale shows how Jesus fulfills the ancient todah sacrifice of the Jews through the Last Supper, and by His crucifixion and resurrection. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is not simply a recalling of something that happened, but in it Jesus makes present these saving events.

What does it mean to say that the Mass “makes Calvary present”? How does the Church participate in the priestly work of Christ? Are you looking to enter more profoundly into the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass? If so, this is the lecture for you.

Msgr. Eugene Morris joins Adam on this morning's show to talk about the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass as an offering. But what is being offered, to who, and how? Monsignor shares some insight into these important questions. For more information on Covenant Network, please visit OurCatholicRadio.org

Careless Masses such as this are not a unique experience—sadly, it's not even rare. It's become a too-common reality wherein the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is reduced to a kumbaya session in which the consecration is treated as getting in the way of the “important” things that people want to do.

Welcome to the first episode of The Catholic Mass here on the SSPX Podcast. We're excited to get started on this – what will probably be about a year long series – examining the theology, the history, rubrics, the changes in the Mass, and so much more. But why spend so much time on one topic? As Fr. Paul Robinson will tell us in this first episode, because the Mass is the center of our Faith, and even though we're doing an extended series, it really is inexhaustible. We can always dive deeper into the mysteries contained in this, the greatest catechism that the Church offers us. And so we'll do as much as we can to share this with you. This is free to listen to, and always will be, but if you can help with a one time or a small monthly recurring donation, you'll be making sure that we can continue this work of producing good Catholic content on a regular basis.

Together with Fr. Mike, we continue our examination of the sacrament of the Eucharist. Fr. Mike takes us back to the Book of Genesis, the sacrifices of Cain and Abel, and the Book of Exodus, the story of Moses and Pharaoh. He emphasizes that the point of freedom in life is to be led to the freedom to worship God and that it matters to God that we freely choose to attend the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1356-1361.

The sacrament of the Eucharist has many different names, and "each name evokes certain aspects of it." Fr. Mike explains the meaning behind this sacrament's various titles, including; thanksgiving to God, the Lord's Supper, Breaking of Bread, the Holy Sacrifice, Holy Mass, and others. All the names of this sacrament ultimately remind us that the Eucharist is both a noun and a verb. It is the Son's great sacrifice to the Father and Jesus Christ himself.

Ch. 9: Catechism on Priesthood Ch. 10: Catechism on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass Ch. 11: Catechism on the Real Presence Ch. 12: Catechism on Communion

While they were eating, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it. He said to them, "This is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed for many.” Mark 14:22–24 (Year B Gospel)At the holy Mass, as soon as the priest pronounces the words of the consecration, transforming the bread and wine into the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ our Lord, he genuflects, rises, and then says, “The mystery of faith.” What is “the mystery of faith?” Oftentimes, when we say that something is a mystery, we mean that the conclusion is hidden but that there are certain clues to help solve the mystery. And once the mystery is solved, everything is clear and it is no longer a mystery.“The mystery of faith” is much different. Those words are spoken at Mass immediately after the consecration as a way of drawing the faithful into a holy awe and amazement of what just took place. But this mystery can only produce wonder and awe if the reality of what just took place is understood through the gift of faith. Faith is knowing and believing without perceiving the reality before us with our five senses or through logical deduction. In other words, faith produces true knowledge of a spiritual reality that can only be known, understood and believed through spiritual insight. Therefore, if we attend the Mass and have been gifted with the knowledge of faith, then as soon as the consecration of the bread and wine takes place, we will cry out interiorly, “My Lord and my God!” We will know that God the Son is present before us in a veiled way. Our eyes do not perceive, nor do any of our senses reveal to us the great reality before us. We cannot rationally deduce what just took place. Instead, we come to know and believe that the Son of God, the Savior of the World, is now present before us in His fullness, under the veil of mere bread and wine.In addition to the divine presence of our Lord and our God, the entire Mystery of our Redemption is made present. Saint Pope John Paul II tells us that in this moment there is a “oneness in time” that links the Paschal Mystery, that is, the Life, Death and Resurrection of Jesus, to every moment that the Eucharist is celebrated and made present through the words of consecration. And that unity between each Mass and the Paschal Mystery “leads us to profound amazement and gratitude” (Ecclesia de Eucharistia, #5). Do you sense and experience this profound amazement and gratitude each time you attend the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass? Do you realize as you attend the Mass and as the words of consecration are spoken that the entire Mystery of your redemption is made present before you, hidden from your eyes but visible to your soul by faith? Do you understand that it is God the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity Who descends to us to dwell with us in that moment of time in this glorious Sacrament?Reflect, today, upon the hidden but real Mystery of Faith. Allow yourself to be drawn into a wonder and awe at what you are privileged to attend. Let your faith in the Most Holy Eucharist grow by being open to a deepening of this gift of faith through spiritual insight and belief. Behold this great Gift of the Eucharist with the eyes of faith and you will be drawn into the wonder and awe that God wants to bestow upon you.My ever-glorious Eucharistic Lord, I do believe that You are here, made present in our world under the form of bread and wine, every time the Holy Mass is celebrated. Fill me with a deeper faith in this Holy Gift, dear Lord, so that I may be drawn into wonder and awe every time I witness this holy Consecration. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2024 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Canon Benjamin Norman, ICKSP currently serves as Chaplain of the ICKSP Oakland Apostolate at St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church in Oakland, California. He was ordained in 2018.     In Today's Show: In John Chapter 6, Our Lord tells everyone “unless you eat my body and drink my blood, you will have no life in me.” Many of these people were offended and left. I find it peculiar that this verse appears in John 6:66 and I wanted to know if you think there could be any relation between this verse and what is referred to as the “Mark of the Beast.” Can an item be touched to multiple relics of different Saints? If I hand out Rosaries that I've made, am I able to include a blessed and exorcised St. Benedict medal? At the beginning of Latin Mass, the priest is praying Psalm 42 and slowly and cautiously approaches the altar asking God to send forth His light and truth. At the end of the Mass, God seems to answer and does send his light. It's like the request has been granted. Is this intentional or simply coincidental symbolism? Is it accurate that the upcoming solar eclipse could be some sort of sign from God? I know this rumor is going around currently. If a priest does not drink from the chalice during the mass, is the mass and reception of the Eucharist still valid? As someone going through RCIA - baptized in a Protestant church - can I wear a Brown Scapular or other Scapular? Regarding the phrase "rose again" as used in the Nicene Creed: what exactly does that refer to? Did He actually rise multiple times? Have you ever cried during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass? Was Jesus capable of saying no when told that He was going to suffer His Passion? Is missing the Easter Communion duty always a mortal sin? I have bad scrupulosity and am trying to find a spiritual director, but I am afraid I may not be able to receive before the Easter season ends.   Visit the show page at thestationofthecross.com/askapriest to listen live, check out the weekly lineup, listen to podcasts of past episodes, watch live video, find show resources, sign up for our mailing list of upcoming shows, and submit your question for Father!

The institution of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is for our salvation. It was offered for the first time on Holy Thursday and continues to this day through the ministry of the priesthood, which was first given to the Apostles and then handed down to their successors.Subscribe to receive every sermon here: https://sspx-sermons.captivate.fm/listenSee all our Sermons: https://sspxpodcast.com/sermons/Donate: https://sspxpodcast.com/faq/#donateView on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SSPX
