Marian Liturgy - Side A

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:29,000
We are here this evening to honor Mary, the mother of God and tabernacle of the Lord.
2
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:41,640
As Mary was able to discern the signs of her times, and as she herself became a sign for
3
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:50,840
all who were to be saved, we stand at attention to hear the call.
4
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:59,920
Mary clearly saw the will of God and threw herself into the action.
5
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:09,360
This is what we ask for this evening for all who choose to follow Our Lady.
6
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:20,040
Jesus, the bread of life, comes again in the Eucharist to be for us what he is for his
7
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:26,960
mother Mary.
8
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:36,440
Coming together as God's family with confidence, let us ask the Father's forgiveness, for he
9
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:41,440
is full of gentleness and compassion.
10
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:21,440
Christ have mercy, Christ have mercy.
11
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:33,440
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy.
12
00:02:51,440 --> 00:03:10,440
May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins and bring us to everlasting life.
13
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:11,440
Amen.
14
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:18,440
Glory to God in the highest, and peace to His people on earth.
15
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:53,440
We worship you, we give you thanks, we praise you for your glory.
16
00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:01,440
Lord of kings, Lord of lords,
17
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:38,080
To a seated at the right hand of the Father,
18
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:44,080
receive our prayer.
19
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:51,080
You are one of a kind.
20
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:58,080
You are one of the Lord.
21
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:03,080
You are love.
22
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:11,080
You are the one who holds my fingers wide.
23
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:20,080
With the Holy Spirit in the glory of God.
24
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,080
Amen.
25
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,080
Amen.
26
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,080
Amen.
27
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,080
Amen.
28
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,080
Amen.
29
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,080
Amen.
30
00:05:40,080 --> 00:06:03,720
Let us pray. Lord, as we honour the glorious memory of the Virgin Mary, we ask that by
31
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:10,720
the help of her prayers, we too may come to share the fullness of your grace. Grant this
32
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:19,880
through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
33
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:27,760
one God, forever and ever.
34
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:57,560
In her liturgy, the Church applies the 24th chapter of the Book of Sirach to the Virgin
35
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:05,560
because of her constant and intimate association with Christ, the incarnate wisdom.
36
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:11,560
Listen attentively as God speaks to you now through the words of the prophet.
37
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:36,000
A reading from the book of Sirach.
38
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,760
Wisdom sings her own praises.
39
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:49,520
Before her own people she proclaims her glory.
40
00:07:49,520 --> 00:08:02,540
From the mouth of the Most High I came forth, and mist-like covered the earth.
41
00:08:02,540 --> 00:08:14,340
In the highest heavens did I dwell, my throne on a pillar of cloud.
42
00:08:14,340 --> 00:08:28,800
Then the Creator of all gave me his command, and he who formed me chose the spot for my
43
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:42,980
tent, saying, In Jacob make your dwelling, in Israel your inheritance.
44
00:08:42,980 --> 00:08:56,980
For all ages in the beginning he created me, and through all ages I shall not cease to
45
00:08:56,980 --> 00:08:59,100
be.
46
00:08:59,100 --> 00:09:10,020
In the holy tent I ministered before him, and in Zion I fixed my abode.
47
00:09:10,020 --> 00:09:25,000
Thus in the chosen city he has given me rest. In Jerusalem is my domain. I have
48
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:36,300
struck root among the glorious people in the portion of the Lord, his heritage.
49
00:09:36,300 --> 00:09:47,500
You will remember me as sweeter than honey, better to have than the honeycomb.
50
00:09:47,500 --> 00:10:00,460
He who eats of me will hunger still. He who drinks of me will thirst for more.
51
00:10:00,460 --> 00:10:11,780
He who obeys me will not be put to shame. He who serves me will never fail.
52
00:10:11,780 --> 00:10:17,500
This is the word of the Lord.
53
00:10:30,460 --> 00:10:59,460
The Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is He.
54
00:10:59,460 --> 00:11:06,460
The Almighty has done great things for me and for me is his name.
55
00:11:06,460 --> 00:11:13,460
May we say, my ye being, proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my ye being, proclaims the greatness
56
00:11:29,460 --> 00:11:42,100
My spirit finds joy in God my Savior,
57
00:11:42,100 --> 00:11:56,340
The Almighty and unbreakable King, and always is.
58
00:11:56,340 --> 00:12:02,180
For he has looked upon his servant in her lowliness.
59
00:12:02,180 --> 00:12:08,580
All ages to come shall call me blessed.
60
00:12:08,580 --> 00:12:14,820
God, who is mighty, has done great things for me.
61
00:12:14,820 --> 00:12:22,540
Holy is his name.
62
00:12:22,540 --> 00:12:36,300
The Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name.
63
00:12:36,300 --> 00:12:45,340
His mercy is from age to age on those who fear Him.
64
00:12:45,340 --> 00:12:49,420
He has shown might with his arm.
65
00:12:49,420 --> 00:12:57,100
He has confused the proud in their inmost thoughts.
66
00:12:57,100 --> 00:13:10,780
The Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
67
00:13:10,780 --> 00:13:17,420
He has deposed the mighty from their thorns
68
00:13:17,420 --> 00:13:26,020
and raised the lowly to high places.
69
00:13:26,020 --> 00:13:35,140
The hungry he has given every good thing,
70
00:13:35,140 --> 00:13:46,340
While the rich he has sent empty away,
71
00:13:46,340 --> 00:13:53,940
The Almighty has done great things for me,
72
00:13:53,940 --> 00:14:01,940
And holy is his name.
73
00:14:35,140 --> 00:14:45,140
According to the eternal plan, it was preordained that the Son of God would become man, being born of a woman.
74
00:14:45,140 --> 00:14:55,140
This woman was Mary, who at the time of her conception became in truth the tabernacle of the Lord.
75
00:14:55,140 --> 00:15:03,140
In the second reading, St. Paul describes the marvelous effects which this has upon us.
76
00:15:05,140 --> 00:15:34,140
A reading from the letter of St. Paul to the Galatians.
77
00:15:34,140 --> 00:15:49,940
When the designated time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under
78
00:15:49,940 --> 00:16:01,620
the law, to deliver from the law those who were subjected to it.
79
00:16:01,620 --> 00:16:12,660
so that we might receive our status as adopted sons.
80
00:16:12,660 --> 00:16:29,020
The proof that you are sons is the fact that God has sent forth into our hearts the spirit
81
00:16:29,020 --> 00:16:47,100
of his son, which cries out, Abba, Father, you are no longer a slave, but a son.
82
00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:59,780
And the fact that you are a son makes you an heir by God's design.
83
00:16:59,780 --> 00:17:04,380
This is the word of the Lord.
84
00:17:04,380 --> 00:17:06,380
Thank you, Lord.
85
00:17:17,100 --> 00:17:42,300
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
86
00:17:42,300 --> 00:17:54,300
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.
87
00:17:54,300 --> 00:18:01,300
Hail Mary, full of grace.
88
00:18:01,300 --> 00:18:09,300
Hail Mary, the Lord is with you.
89
00:18:09,300 --> 00:18:22,780
Hail Mary, blessed are you among women.
90
00:18:22,780 --> 00:18:30,240
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
91
00:18:39,300 --> 00:18:57,580
The Lord be with you.
92
00:18:57,580 --> 00:19:01,860
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke.
93
00:19:20,420 --> 00:19:25,700
Mary set out, proceeding in haste into the temple,
94
00:19:25,700 --> 00:19:29,800
into the hill country to a town of Judah,
95
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:36,200
where she entered Zacharias' house and greeted Elizabeth.
96
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:43,120
When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby stirred in her womb.
97
00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:50,960
Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and cried out in a loud voice,
98
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:58,440
Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
99
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:05,800
But who am I that the mother of my God should come to me?
100
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:10,120
The moment your greeting sounded in my ears,
101
00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:15,360
the baby stirred in my womb for joy.
102
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:20,360
Blessed is she who trusted that the Lord's words to her
103
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,560
would be fulfilled.
104
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,080
Then Mary said,
105
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:30,000
my being proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
106
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,840
my spirit finds joy in God my Savior.
107
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,880
This is the gospel of the Lord.
108
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,220
Thank you Lord Jesus Christ.
109
00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:44,060
Your Eminence,
110
00:21:44,060 --> 00:21:49,060
the legate of His Holiness Pope Paul VI,
111
00:21:49,060 --> 00:21:54,060
the Remnants Cardinal Crow, host,
112
00:21:54,060 --> 00:22:04,060
and all lovers of Mary and the Holy Eucharist.
113
00:22:04,060 --> 00:22:11,060
For the moment, you have my better side.
114
00:22:11,060 --> 00:22:14,060
You have my better side.
115
00:22:14,060 --> 00:22:26,060
Laughter and applause.
116
00:22:26,060 --> 00:22:49,700
57 years ago, when I was ordained a priest, I took two resolutions.
117
00:22:49,700 --> 00:22:55,940
One that I would read Mass every Saturday in honor of Our Blessed Lady for her protection
118
00:22:55,940 --> 00:23:00,620
during my priesthood.
119
00:23:00,620 --> 00:23:10,660
The second resolution was that every day of my life I would make a holy hour in the presence
120
00:23:10,660 --> 00:23:17,020
of our Lord and the Blessed Sacrament.
121
00:23:17,020 --> 00:23:28,700
These two are now conjoined as I address you on the subject of Mary, the Tabernacle of
122
00:23:28,700 --> 00:23:32,260
the Lord.
123
00:23:32,260 --> 00:23:45,420
I shall speak of Mary and the Host, Mary and the Sword,
124
00:23:45,420 --> 00:23:47,500
Mary and the Holy Hour.
125
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:58,380
Not one of us had the power to make our own mother.
126
00:23:58,380 --> 00:24:07,380
If we did, we would have made her the most beautiful woman in the world.
127
00:24:07,380 --> 00:24:23,020
Our Lord preexisted his own mother. Therefore, he could make her the perfect mother. He thought
128
00:24:23,020 --> 00:24:27,340
of her from all eternity.
129
00:24:27,340 --> 00:24:39,460
As a matter of fact, the first immaculate conception was in the mind of God.
130
00:24:39,460 --> 00:24:50,420
When the first paradise was lost, God said that he would make another paradise.
131
00:24:50,420 --> 00:25:04,000
This paradise, flesh-girt, to be gardened by the Adam new, would be our Blessed Mother.
132
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:13,940
God had told Moses, make a tabernacle that I may dwell with my people.
133
00:25:13,940 --> 00:25:26,460
were of stone and gold until an angel came to the Blessed Mother and asked her if she
134
00:25:26,460 --> 00:25:32,700
would become the mother of our Lord.
135
00:25:32,700 --> 00:25:37,300
She said, I'm a virgin.
136
00:25:37,300 --> 00:25:41,340
I do not know man.
137
00:25:41,340 --> 00:25:47,780
And God said, in the older tabernacles,
138
00:25:47,780 --> 00:25:51,080
there was the Shekinah,
139
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:58,380
the cloud of my presence that overshadowed the temple.
140
00:25:58,380 --> 00:26:06,360
Now my Holy Spirit will overshadow you.
141
00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:19,360
And he that will be born of you will be called the son of the Most High God.
142
00:26:19,360 --> 00:26:26,360
Notice Mary did not give birth to a fetus.
143
00:26:36,360 --> 00:26:51,000
And the Word was made flesh and tabernacled within her.
144
00:26:51,000 --> 00:27:03,000
In a certain sense, it was Mary's first Holy Communion.
145
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:15,400
For she had within herself the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Christ himself.
146
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:23,000
Now communion is not only oneness with Christ.
147
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:30,280
It is oneness with everyone in the church and oneness with humanity.
148
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:39,680
That is the reason why this Eucharistic Congress spoke of the hunger of the spirit and the
149
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,640
hunger of body.
150
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:52,860
So when the Blessed Mother possessed within herself Christ, the first thing she did was
151
00:27:52,860 --> 00:27:58,620
to do a social act.
152
00:27:58,620 --> 00:28:05,460
She went to visit her old cousin Elizabeth,
153
00:28:05,460 --> 00:28:11,700
who was already six months with child.
154
00:28:11,700 --> 00:28:18,340
When she came to Elizabeth, Elizabeth said,
155
00:28:18,340 --> 00:28:28,120
the child leaped with joy in my womb.
156
00:28:28,120 --> 00:28:41,240
Chartres Christ in Mary met the cloistered John the Baptist in Elizabeth.
157
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:53,160
And John the Baptist adored the body, blood, soul, and divinity in Mary.
158
00:28:53,160 --> 00:29:06,160
That was the moment when the Blessed Mother became what Pius X called her,
159
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:19,080
on the 13th of December, 1905, the Mother of the Blessed Sacrament.
160
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:23,600
radiated the presence of Christ to John.
161
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:34,280
So Elizabeth now, after adoring the Christ within her,
162
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:35,480
venerates Mary.
163
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:45,800
Who am I that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
164
00:29:45,800 --> 00:30:00,880
Elizabeth was here acknowledging that somehow or other, Mary is related to the body, blood,
165
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:08,140
soul and divinity of Christ himself.
166
00:30:08,140 --> 00:30:16,220
Mary was not a priest.
167
00:30:16,220 --> 00:30:30,740
If her divine son wanted women to be priests, he would have made his own mother a priest.
168
00:30:30,740 --> 00:30:45,060
The woman is the symbol of the church.
169
00:30:45,060 --> 00:30:54,300
And though Mary was not a priest, she was able to say the words of consecration as we
170
00:30:54,300 --> 00:30:59,860
priests can never say those words.
171
00:30:59,860 --> 00:31:09,060
Because her body was giving life to the humanity of Christ.
172
00:31:09,060 --> 00:31:21,020
So she could say, as she bore Christ within her, this is my body.
173
00:31:21,020 --> 00:31:29,740
This is my blood.
174
00:31:29,740 --> 00:31:34,740
Mother of the blessed sacraments, pray for us.
175
00:31:40,340 --> 00:31:41,340
Soar.
176
00:31:48,420 --> 00:31:52,820
When the divine child was 40 days old,
177
00:31:52,820 --> 00:31:56,700
she presented him to the temple.
178
00:31:56,700 --> 00:32:05,740
All gifts come from God and therefore should be given back again to God.
179
00:32:05,740 --> 00:32:14,660
She was doing with our blessed Lord what will be happening here in this Mass.
180
00:32:14,660 --> 00:32:24,260
During the offertory procession, representatives of the church will bring sacrificial gifts
181
00:32:24,260 --> 00:32:29,460
to be offered to the heavenly Father.
182
00:32:29,460 --> 00:32:38,140
Mary brought Christ to be offered to the heavenly Father,
183
00:32:38,140 --> 00:32:44,860
Simeon, the old man, being a symbol of the heavenly Father.
184
00:32:44,860 --> 00:32:58,040
Simeon said to her, as he became prophetic,
185
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:05,480
your son is going to have a cross,
186
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,480
a sign to be contradicted.
187
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:19,060
You, you too will be pierced by a sword.
188
00:33:19,060 --> 00:33:22,960
Can any of you mothers imagine bringing your child to the
189
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:30,440
baptismal font and having the priest at the font say to you,
190
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:36,880
your son will die on the gallows and you will have your
191
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:42,220
and his heart broken.
192
00:33:42,220 --> 00:33:47,560
But that is what Simeon told our Blessed Mother.
193
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:53,060
Now, let us see what this sword meant.
194
00:33:53,060 --> 00:34:01,200
Your heart will be pierced too with a sword.
195
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:06,680
When our first parents lost the Garden of Paradise,
196
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:14,020
God stationed an angel with a flaming sword
197
00:34:14,020 --> 00:34:21,160
to guard the tree of life.
198
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:32,840
By that, God meant paradise lost is not paradise destroyed.
199
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:38,240
that you'll never get back into this paradise
200
00:34:38,240 --> 00:34:42,380
except by the sword,
201
00:34:42,380 --> 00:34:45,480
sacrifice,
202
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:49,620
shedding of blood.
203
00:34:49,620 --> 00:34:54,160
And the inspiration of it will be a flame,
204
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:58,360
love itself.
205
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:03,360
So there seemed to be written across the Old Testament,
206
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,300
as we read in the epistle to the Hebrews,
207
00:35:06,300 --> 00:35:13,440
without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin.
208
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:18,840
It is not easy to get back into paradise.
209
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,280
The Jewish priests for centuries,
210
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,620
the Feast of the Atonement,
211
00:35:25,620 --> 00:35:31,360
would use this sword to slay a lamb.
212
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:37,760
On the day of atonement, they would take the blood of the lamb
213
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:42,500
and they would go before this great hyacinth and purple
214
00:35:42,500 --> 00:35:51,380
and crimson curtain, the veil, sprinkle it with blood.
215
00:35:51,380 --> 00:36:03,080
That gave them the right to enter the Holy of Holies, the symbol of paradise.
216
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:13,160
But on Good Friday, when that priest took the blood of a lamb and began to sprinkle
217
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:28,240
that veil? It was rent. From top to bottom. Man could rent it from bottom to top. And
218
00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:36,360
amidst the shrieks and the cries of people, the Holy of Holies, which had never been seen,
219
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:48,060
now opened, but that was nothing compared to what was happening on Calvary. A soldier
220
00:36:48,060 --> 00:37:02,020
took a sword, ran it into the heart of Christ. Blood and water came forth, blood the symbol
221
00:37:02,020 --> 00:37:10,980
of our redemption and water the symbol of our regeneration.
222
00:37:10,980 --> 00:37:21,180
And the part or the veil of his flesh, as the epistle of Hebrews puts it, was pierced.
223
00:37:21,180 --> 00:37:25,100
The new holy of holies was revealed.
224
00:37:25,100 --> 00:37:28,300
Paradise was opened.
225
00:37:28,300 --> 00:37:40,140
was now thrown wide its gates, cherubim, sheathe your swords. The sacred heart has
226
00:37:40,140 --> 00:37:53,220
revealed heaven. But when that sword pierced the heart of Christ physically,
227
00:37:53,220 --> 00:37:58,220
it pierced the heart of the mother mystically.
228
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:05,160
I remember once being in a clinic and seeing a doctor
229
00:38:07,740 --> 00:38:10,300
touch an infant that was held by the mother.
230
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,700
And the infant would cry with pain.
231
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,180
And every time the infant cried,
232
00:38:18,180 --> 00:38:25,180
The mother shook with pain, out of sympathy.
233
00:38:25,180 --> 00:38:32,180
Here were two hearts impaled on a single sword,
234
00:38:32,180 --> 00:38:38,180
the heart of Christ and the heart of Mary.
235
00:38:38,180 --> 00:38:45,180
These two hearts, which were then united in sorrow,
236
00:38:45,180 --> 00:38:50,180
And I believe that this is the basis for the assumption.
237
00:38:53,180 --> 00:38:56,380
Christ's passion as the Son of God,
238
00:38:56,380 --> 00:38:58,500
merited redemption.
239
00:38:58,500 --> 00:39:00,220
Mary as a creature,
240
00:39:01,140 --> 00:39:05,400
shared that passion as much as she could,
241
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,740
and therefore as a creature,
242
00:39:07,740 --> 00:39:10,180
she should be assumed into heaven.
243
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:14,520
But these pierced hearts,
244
00:39:15,180 --> 00:39:21,180
In our times, I've become related to the Eucharist.
245
00:39:24,180 --> 00:39:29,180
One of the last things that we give to anyone is a heart.
246
00:39:30,180 --> 00:39:36,180
We give them our time, we give them our talents, we give them gifts.
247
00:39:38,180 --> 00:39:40,180
But the last thing is the heart.
248
00:39:40,180 --> 00:39:53,180
And as the world grows old, we've had a revelation of the heart of Christ and the heart of Mary.
249
00:39:53,180 --> 00:39:59,180
And both of them were related to the Eucharist.
250
00:39:59,180 --> 00:40:09,180
On the 10th of June, 1675, our blessed Lord,
251
00:40:09,180 --> 00:40:15,860
holding his heart with a cross on top of it,
252
00:40:15,860 --> 00:40:19,920
said to Saint Margaret Mary,
253
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:27,440
Behold this heart which has loved men so much,
254
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:35,940
and all that I have received is blasphemy, ingratitude,
255
00:40:35,940 --> 00:40:44,420
coldness and contempt in the sacrament of my love.
256
00:40:44,420 --> 00:40:52,960
In the revelation of Fatima, the Immaculate Heart
257
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:59,960
revealed to the children a chalice and a host.
258
00:40:59,960 --> 00:41:05,960
And the Immaculate Heart, pierced with his sword,
259
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,960
said to the children,
260
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:15,960
Pray to the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity
261
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:20,960
in the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist
262
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:32,960
to make up for all of the outrages and sins that are committed by man in the world today.
263
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:40,960
Joining in love and sympathy with those two hearts,
264
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:57,960
One of the great beauties of this Eucharistic Congress will be, I hope, to stop the de-Eucharistization
265
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:10,400
that is going on in the world today.
266
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:22,840
How often, for example, I have gone into small churches and I've had to look around to find
267
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:33,760
the good Lord in the blessed sacrament.
268
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:41,820
been shoved off in a corner.
269
00:42:41,820 --> 00:43:00,300
And some priest stands there like a tin god.
270
00:43:00,300 --> 00:43:05,300
It almost feels like Mary Magdalene going into many churches today.
271
00:43:05,300 --> 00:43:12,300
They've taken away my Lord, and I know not where they laid him.
272
00:43:12,300 --> 00:43:29,300
Then, too, the number of our people that will go to communion in the state of mortal sin,
273
00:43:29,300 --> 00:43:35,860
in the language of St. Paul, eating, drinking, and judgment unto themselves.
274
00:43:38,020 --> 00:43:44,180
They would not go to address Paul the way they go to Mass.
275
00:43:47,940 --> 00:43:52,180
This is the end of side one. To hear side two, turn the cassette over now.
