GOSPEL, FIRST READING & PSALM TRANSCRIPT (Subscribe or Login for Full Transcript):
The 9th Sunday in Ordinary Time continues the Church's journey through the third gospel, the Gospel of St. Luke, also known as the most beautiful book ever written. We continue to see the beauty of the Gospel in this text by looking at Luke 7:1-10, the very well-known story of Jesus and the centurion, from the healing of the centurion's servant. So let's see what the Church gives us for today. Then we'll go back and look at the Old Testament and the Psalm and see how all of it comes together to proclaim a beautiful and very important gospel about the role of Gentiles in God's plan of salvation.
SECOND READING TRANSCRIPT (SubscribeorLoginfor Full Transcript):
The 9th Sunday in Ordinary Time for Year C begins the Church's journey through one of the most explosive letters of the Apostle Paul in the entire canon of Scripture, and that is his brief but powerful letter to the Galatians. So much could be said about the letter to the Galatians. It might be helpful just to kind of think of it in these terms: if Romans is the most theologically sophisticated, the most elevated of the letters of Paul, and if 2 Corinthians is the most heartfelt and personal of Paul's letters, Galatians is the angriest. It's the most polemical, you could say, because Paul is clearly upset about some false teachings that have worked their way into the churches at Galatia that he played a role in founding.

Very enlightening! Loved being able to print the written overview. I am a visual/ tactile learner and the printout greatly helped me to follow, and focus on the material I was hearing. Another incredible pile of pieces in the most amazing puzzle! Just wow!
The Catholic production programs are an extremely meaningful and effective nourishment for both spiritual and intellectual life. The videos and books that I have learnt from have significantly improved my understanding of the sacred message of God. Absolutely recommend!
Some great content and historical data, but overall, a mixed series. Some of the history seemed deliberately omitted to bolster the defense of the Novus Ordo, and to be silent on certain aspects of the Traditional Liturgy; which didn't seem entirely truthful. I celebrate both Forms, and have read extensively on the history of the Liturgy; and following Cardinal Ratzinger, I think we shouldn't be afraid of admitting that the reform could have been done better.
