LSC-C June Season of Solemnities

June C – Season of Solemnities. Living Seasons of Change explores the transformation of our lives through understanding our beliefs, truth, and the mystery of the Trinity, the Body and Blood of Jesus [Corpus Christi], and ties with the Baptism of John the Baptist.

Monsignor David LeSieur and Patti Brunner discusses why the Church has set aside time, after the celebration of Pentecost, the “birthday” of the Christian Church, to draw attention to important, yet difficult to comprehend, teachings.  Trinity Sunday, particularly the deepest of all mysteries, is always right after Pentecost. It’s followed by the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ, and on June 24th we have the Birth of John the Baptist.  Continue reading for the outline directed by the Lord for this episode and for the script of the radio show originally aired June 2007 for Year C of the liturgical year and references.

LSC-C March Lenten Season of Repentance

Hosts Msgr. David LeSieur & Patti Brunner

The Season of Repentance is Ash Wednesday & 1st-5th Weeks of Lent Year C with Patti Brunner and Monsignor David LeSieur.  The Season of Repentance includes the very powerful stories of Jesus’ transfiguration, his temptation, and the Prodigal Son. Lent is a time for us to consider our own lives; a kind of a spiritual six-week retreat before we celebrate Easter. It is the time to look inward and ask why Jesus came to begin with. He came because of sin.   Jesus himself was tempted.  He is not only our model in resisting temptation; He is also our source of strength.  The Holy Spirit brings us conversion.  Repentance is a change of heart; repentance and reconciliation are a matter of relationship.  Originally broadcast on KDUA Catholic Radio and Padua Media.

LSC-C February Season of Sharing

Season of Sharing 4th-7th Weeks of Ordinary Time Year C.  With Patti Brunner and Monsignor David LeSieur.  God is very generous in giving for all of our needs, yet He wants us to imitate him, to reflect him, so he gives us the opportunity to satisfy the needs of others rather than doing it all himself.  In this way, we grow in the understanding of God’s love, compassion and we fulfill God’s plan of salvation.  Season of Sharing considers the various talents and gifts working together to prepare us to share our faith.
