Liturgical Catechesis Homilies

Over the past several months, I have preached an ongoing series of homilies on liturgical catechesis in preparation for the implementation of the English translation of the Third Edition of the Roman Missal, coming to Catholic churches in the United States on November 27, 2011. These homilies have not dealt with the Roman Missal directly as much as they have been on the liturgy in general, helping us understand and appreciate the Mass more and more. Below are collected links to audio (mp3) recordings of all of these homilies. They were recorded at Sunday Masses at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in New Albany, Indiana, and include the gospel reading of that day along with the homily itself. As we begin to make final preparations for the implementation of the Third Edition of the Roman Missal, my hope is that we can continue to explore the beauty and richness of the Mass in the life of the Catholic Church.

The Mass as Source and Summit of our Faith (8th Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year A)

The Structure of the Mass: The Pattern of Emmaus (Third Sunday of Easter, Year A)

The Sign of the Cross (Ascension of the Lord, Year A)

The Breaking of the Bread (18th Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year A)

Liturgical Hospitality (Fourth Sunday of Lent, Year A)

The Trinity and the Liturgy (The Most Holy Trinity, Year A)
