Podcasts about Nunc dimittis

In this stirring and deeply encouraging Advent message, Pastor Karl launches the new series The King Has Come with a powerful exploration of the first great gift Jesus brings: hope.Turning to Luke 2 and the quiet, largely forgotten figures of Simeon and Anna, Pastor Karl paints a vivid picture of two elderly saints who spent decades waiting in faithful obscurity—praying unanswered prayers, worshiping through silence, and serving without recognition. Yet the moment a 40-day-old baby was carried into the temple, their Spirit-illuminated eyes saw what the crowds missed: the long-promised Messiah, the Consolation of Israel, the Redemption of Jerusalem.Through their story, Pastor Karl reveals that biblical hope is not wishful thinking; it is the confident, unshakable expectation of future good rooted in the unchanging character and faithfulness of God. Hope grows in the hidden soil of daily faithfulness, thrives when God chooses to work in silence, and celebrates the tiny seed because it already trusts the coming harvest. Simeon and Anna never saw Jesus preach, heal, or rise from the dead—yet they held the infant King and departed in peace, because they knew who He was long before they saw what He would do.A tender yet convicting word for everyone who has waited a long time and is still waiting, prayed a long time and is still praying, and hoped a long time and is still hoping. In a season that can feel rushed and noisy, this message calls us to slow down, stay faithful, and train our eyes to recognize the presence of the King—even when He shows up wrapped in the ordinary, the small, and the seemingly insignificant.Because the King has come, hope is not dead. It is alive, resilient, and bubbling up in every heart that keeps showing up and keeps looking for Jesus. Essential listening for anyone who needs fresh hope this Christmas.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world— our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? - Soul, Be Still: Soul, be still, await God's will. We are safe in His wise keeping, Surely grief for joy makes way, Laughter fain would follow weeping, Legions e'er His call obey. God doth guide thee as a Father. Soul, be still. Soul, be still, await God's will. Unforeseen, the dawn appearing, Will allay all fear and doubt, Why delay your joy, despairing, Grief and worry put to rout. God doth guide the as a Father. Soul, be still.

Blessed are those who trust in thee, They go from strength to strength in thy presence.

For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.” But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, help me!” But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs.” And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.” Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith!

Fr. William Rock, FSSP serves as Parochial Vicar at Regina Caeli Parish in Houston, Texas. He was ordained in October of 2019 and serves as a regular contributor to the FSSP North America Missive Blog and the TAN Direction Blog.     In Today's Show: I have a religion assignment from school and I should write about a saint. I was wondering if Mother Mary was considered a saint? I see a lot of mixed answers and how she was never officially canonized and that she wasn't actually a saint, but at the same time, I do see many stating that she was a saint. Am I permitted to eat chicken on a Friday? I was told the law was relaxed after Vatican II & restricted to Ash Wednesday & Good Friday, or is every Friday a fast? Can we sin accidentally? I live in rural Nevada. The TLM is nowhere to be found. Does the FSSP plan to come to the West anytime soon? If I am not Baptized, are my mortal sins taken away at Baptism? I'm not Baptized right now because I live in China. I had a friend who was using a ouija board. I feel that I may have uncharitably corrected this person when telling them that they should not have this in their home. How can I more charitably speak about things like this in the future? Is it a sin to even touch a ouija board? What are the rules on this for Catholics and Christians? I am a diocesan seminarian and a member of the Confraternity of Saint Peter. I attended an FSSP mass and noticed the Fraternity's Code of Arms on the Vestments. As a member of the Confraternity myself, would it be appropriate for me to have and wear those types of vestments? Can souls in purgatory help themselves? Is there really a purgatory? I'm having a hard time believing in it and I'm Catholic. Since priests take a vow of celibacy, why does it matter if the priest is gay? What is the average stay for a Fraternity priest at a parish? Is the rotation in August? What are the nature and limitations of wives submitting to husbands? Are any of the sacraments more important than another? What is a Breviary and where might I buy one? Why do we sign ourselves when the Magnificat, Benedictus, Nunc Dimittis is said during the Liturgy of the Hours? How deeply does an average priest study Marian apparitions? Why might my priest have seemed offended when I asked him about a specific Marian apparition?   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!
