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.

A must have if you have any curiosity about the Liturgy of the Hours or the Divine Office
Granted, I LOVE the Office. I’m a Benedictine oblate and follow Benedictine spirituality, therefore the Office is a large part of my life. This amazing talk by Dr. Pitre is wonderfully informative, and yet spiritual (like all of his talks). I highly recommend it if you’re interested in the origins of the office and psalmody in Christian and Jewish practice. Better yet, if you know nothing about the office, learn from Dr. Pitre and become a better, more prayerful Catholic today!!!
