TOS102 The Church’s New Year – Season of Foundations; For audio only PPN
Truth of the Spirit shares an episode of Living Seasons of Change with Msgr. David LeSieur and Patti Brunner in The Church’s New Year-Season of Foundations Year A. The Catholic Church New Year began in December, liturgically speaking, and ties to the Hebraic New Year rather than the Christian Gregorian calendar. The continuation of the early years of Christ—Epiphany, Baptism, and the feast of Mary remind of the foundation on which the Kingdom was built. Truly, it seems like a gigantic task but the Lord works all things for good.

Join Patti Brunner for the Truth of the Spirit’s “Songs of Meaning in the Mass” The sacred music sung during a Eucharistic Celebration “is not an accessory or embellishment of the liturgy, but is the liturgy itself.” The ancient songs of scripture: ‘Holy, Holy’, ‘Glory to God in the Highest’ and Psalms are offered as proclamation and prayer; music joined to the Word of God is meant to draw people into an encounter with the living Word of God, who is Christ. Music is a gift of God that opens for us a glimpse of God’s glory. Sacred song “cooperates in nourishing and expressing the faith and, therefore, in glorifying God and sanctifying the faithful.” When you hear singing during the Mass, it is never “filler” or a time to let yourself to be distracted.

Summary Truth of the Spirit episode TOS032 Season of Living Bread. Join Patti Brunner as she welcomes Msgr. David LeSieur in a broadcast of Living Seasons of Change. They discuss the true presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. In the Season of Living Bread we find the truth of the Living Word—the sacrifice shared; the nourishment for the journey into the kingdom, and the fullness of the Presence of God. In John 6: 51 Jesus says, “I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh.” Jesus gave himself for our life, and for our ongoing nourishment in the form of the Eucharist. It is through the Eucharist that we too, can receive the same living bread made present at the Last Supper. This episode discusses the Church’s liturgical scriptural readings from 18-21st Sundays of Ordinary Time Year B which focus on the Gospel of John Chapter 6.
