Homily #100627 ( 15min) Play – In today’s Gospel Our Lord gives us a higher standard than is enjoined on us in the ten commandments that represent the natural law.

For He says:

…it was said to them of old: Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill, shall be in danger of the judgment. But I say to you, that whosoever is angry with his brother, shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother: Raca, shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever shall say: Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

Fr. Angelo thus preaches on the need to love our neighbor as Jesus has loved us, that is, selflessly even to giving our lives.

Ave Maria!

Recently Friar Terrance had the opportunity to chat with Fr. Jerome Pica, F.I., and to talk with him about Bl. John Duns Scotus, a famous Franciscan scholastic philosopher/theologian who is still unknown to most of the world.  The Franciscans of the Immaculate in Italy have recently finished a full-length movie on the life of Duns Scotus.  We hope you enjoy the interview which we’ve titled “Who is John Duns Scotus…and why is he important?”, and we send our apologies for the setting of the interview…but it’s the best we could do!
