Our Lady's Chapel

Fr Alan B. Maria Wharton gives the homily at Our Lady's Chapel, New Bedford for the Memorial of St. Scholastica, Virgin, explaining how the multiplication of the loaves and fishes prefigures the miracle not only of the Eucharist, but also the mystery of the Church. With finite, fallible human cooperation, Christ works the ongoing miracle of Redemption. The gift of the Apostles and disciples that supplied the natural material for the miraculous multiplication is an image of the co-redemptive action of the Church that will continue until Christ comes again. * * * Today's Mass reading (Saturday of the Fifth Week in Ordinary Time): - https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/021024.cfm * * * For more on St. Scholastica and this day in the Liturgy: - https://www.catholicculture.org/culture/liturgicalyear/calendar/day.cfm?date=2024-02-10 * * * Find Our Lady's Chapel homily videos on the following social media platforms: - Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-938867 - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ourladyschapel - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/franciscanfriars

Fr Andre M. Feain gives the homily for the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time (Jan 21, 2024), focusing on the Jesus' calling of the Apostles and their manner of responding. A vocation, a true inspiration, nudgings of grace are too precious to ignore--we should place no egoistic, temporal interest above that of corresponding to God's will in our lives. Some calls come only once, and if we fail to respond promptly, we may lose out forever on that grace. *** Today's Mass readings: - https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/012124.cfm *** For more on this day in the Liturgical Calendar: - https://www.catholicculture.org/culture/liturgicalyear/calendar/day.cfm? date=2024-01-21 *** Find Our Lady's Chapel homily videos on the following social media platforms: - Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-938867 - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ourladyschapel - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/franciscanfriars
