Good Friday – Homily (Msgr. LoPinto)

| St. Charles Borromeo

After this, aware everything was now finished in order that the scripture might be fulfilled, Jesus said I thirst. There are many phrases that are contained in the different accounts of the passion,

but perhaps this one stands out because it really reflects what Jesus was intent upon.

It’s a phrase that became part of the writings in her daily in her daily diary of the sainted Mother Teresa.

She often wrote that the feeling that she had was a thirst.

Fr. Smith’s Commentary on the Second Reading
Easter Sunday
Colossians 3:1–4
April 4, 2021

The readings for Easter Sunday are all from the New Testament. Of the available options, we will look at Colossians 3:1–4. Discussions on Colossians usually become overly concerned if it was written by St. Paul or a disciple. This is of scholarly interest, but we need to remember that no matter who wrote it, Colossians is still inspired. It speaks to matters which are eerily relevant to our own day.

Palm Sunday – Homily (Msgr. LoPinto)

| St. Charles Borromeo

We’ve come together celebrating the beginning of Holy Week with the entrance of Jesus into the city of Jerusalem.

It is in many ways a triumphal entry, an entry that is very reminiscent of an earlier event captured back in the days of King David.

David had grown very old and it was the time for succession.

And one of his sons had gone down to Hebron and gathered some of the leaders together there that they might proclaim him king.
