Ave Maria! This one is by the FI’s in Italy about their “Field School” that they hold each year with youth in the majestic Italian Alps. The beautiful footage is set to music with Italian titles. Perhaps we will come up with a version with English titles, but really, the imagery says it all. Part 2 will be tomorrow.
Homily #080720 (22min) Play – Fr. Angelo preaches on the Sunday Mass at the end of our Encampment Weekend for the Knights of Lepanto. The day’s Gospel has three parables of the Kingdom of God, the Field with the Wheat and the Weeds, the Mustard Seed, and the Yeast and the Bread. These parables that are agricultural in their details hark back to the fall which involved good and bad fruit, and so, underscores how salvation comes to us in the same way that the fall happened but in reverse. Listen as Father explains how this refers to our need to battle temptations in our life, to uphold family life and how this fits with the role of the Knights of Lepanto.
