The 10th Sunday in Ordinary Time for Year A continues our journey through St. Paul's magnum opus, the Epistle to the Romans. On this Sunday, the Church picks up in chapter 4 after Paul's discussion of justification by faith apart from works of the law in chapter 3. Now, Paul is going to give an example of his doctrine of justification by appealing to the figure of Abraham. This is a very important, concrete manifestation of what he means by justification by faith apart from the works of the law, in terms that anyone familiar with the Old Testament would be able to understand. In 4:18-25, Paul describes the justifying faith of Abraham in these terms...

I'm about one third of the way through this set, and it is an amazing resource. It's been eye-opening to see how the Mass has changed, while remaining true to its Scriptural roots and traditions. This class has illuminated areas of confusion and controversy regarding the Novus Ordo Mass, and that light has given me a much-needed peace. The charts are outstanding, showing side-by-side how the different elements of the Mass may have changed while still remaining the Mass of All Ages. I've learned a lot from The Mass Explained, and this class set is another tremendous resource to help us appreciate what is happening when we pray the Mass. Thank you for the outlines that you provide with each product! Thank you, Dr. Pitre, for a much-needed resource!
