Sermonry

A place to study the Mass and deepen your Catholic faith.

This is how you do it!

@MrCasey62 I read the bible passages for the day and then look up what the church fathers had to say about them and it makes me become more Catholic. As they always provide good insight into what the passages mean etc.

[Fr. Kenneth Allen @PadreAllen]

“Don’t use AI to write your Homilies” is better stated as “Don’t use AI to form your ideas”, or “Don’t abdicate your mind and your relationship with the Lord to an algorithm “.

Other than that, any part of the tedium that can be automated should by all means be automated.

I have written my email list more in the last month than I’ve posted to X.

The most recent subject line was “Liturgical year taxonomy”

If that intrigues, check out the link in my reply.

@FrHilderbrand Preaching at Sunday Vespers used to be huge.

Spiritual reading, specifically.

[Matthew Hazell @M_P_Hazell]

The level of clarity required for this would likely be anathema to the modern Church, which thinks that John XXIII's overly-optimistic view of the "balm of mercy" is still relevant in an era that has fallen into the exact traps the Pope considered highly unlikely. 🤷

Who said this?

“Short talks are much appreciated, since if they are good, they are heard the more eagerly, and if they are bad, they are less boring.”

Take it from the Holy Family:

It's never too early to get your kids started with prayer books or missals!

19th/early 20th century parish mission work in America. Redemptorists, Paulists, etc. So comfy.

[Dr Francis Young @DrFrancisYoung]

Are there any historical subjects you find it strangely comforting to read about? For me, it's reading about 18th-century English Catholicism. It's like the historiographical equivalent of curling up on the sofa and eating a whole bowl of ice-cream

[Sermonry @sermonry]

@owenbroadcast I pair up commentaries with Mass readings. https://t.co/ChlCxWNUsO

(I recommended a Garrigou-Lagrange book to you recently on my alt)

[Sermonry @sermonry]

Collect posting has become popular the last couple of years (and deservedly so!)

[Saint Catherine of Siena Catholic Newman Center @stcatherineslc]

O God, at the urging of whose love the Martyrs Saints Perpetua and Felicity defied their persecutors and overcame the torment of earth, grant, we ask, by their prayers, that we may ever grow in your love.

@frpatrickop Preaching missions or retreats?

Either way, fantastic idea.

[Sermonry @sermonry]

The best (and worst) thing about this book was learning of four books I'd never heard of that I am now obligated to acquire.

[Sermonry @sermonry]

It's always a good day when a "new" sermon book arrives on the porch.

@FrTotleben I prefer endnotes if, and only if, they are all just citations. The minute they start talking about something interesting I resent having to go to the back of the book.

[Sermonry @sermonry]

The liturgical year is so, so important. What a great visualization.

[Hand Missal History Project @HandMissals]

Good morning, we're back with #MissalMondays

Today we have something interesting: the smallest Sunday Missal booklet ever published (just 2.5 x 4 inches!)

from 1930, "The Little Missal" by Rev. J. W. Brady of St. Paul, MN.

(the awesome liturgical calendar was Brady's creation)

[Eleanor Parker @ClerkofOxford]

Today is Septuagesima, 9 weeks before Easter, traditionally the beginning of a period of preparation for Lent. There was a custom of 'locking the Alleluia', in order to fast until Easter from 'the voice of joy', as this Anglo-Saxon sermon explains: https://t.co/cj3dkEhKdv
