Sunday Message: What is a Solemnity?

 This Sunday, 20 November 2022 is the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe.

What is a Solemnity? In the liturgical calendar of the Roman Rite, a solemnity is a feast day of the highest rank celebrating a mystery of faith such as the Trinity, an event in the life of Jesus, his mother Mary, his earthly father Joseph, or another important saint.


Why then do Catholics celebrate Solemnities?

On March 25, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord. Solemnities in the Catholic Church are celebrations that are of the greatest importance. The Annunciation of the Lord refers to the time when the angel Gabriel visited the Blessed Virgin Mary to tell her that she would be the mother of the savior.Today is the day we set aside Jesus for his special recognition. Next Sunday begins the Season of Advent..The Preparation of the Coming of Jesus, Son of God.

Second Sunday Of Advent

 Today a great reading from the Gospel of Mark! Remember Marks Gospels cover the period of Jesus from around age 30. Also remember 75% or more of Marks writings are documented speeches from Peters lectures when they were both in Rome. Peter first meet Jesus at his baptism by John the Baptist. This is why never writes about events prior to that meeting. Because of Likes relationship with Mary( her Dr), Yes Luke the gentile was a doctor and spent lots of time with Mary during the pregnancy, hence many written words about that period. John writes Gospels in a time fram from the beginning of time. Mathew from the time of Abraham onward. This is evidenced with the writing or the lineage gospel Christmas Day/ Eve. This video has a great Second Sermon about all this ! Enjoy!🙏🕊️ https://youtu.be/_EBztuvpPVk?si=qUMeZ88PECXB0__a
