Living Space Sunday of week 3 of Easter | Sacred Space
http://livingspace.sacredspace.ie/ea031g
Sunday of week 3 of Easter. Commentary on Luke 24:13-35. One of the great passages of the New Testament. It encapsulates in a little over 20 verses the whole Christian life. It is Easter Sunday as the passage opens. In Luke all the resurrection appearances take place in the vicinity of Jerusalem and on Easter Sunday. The Risen Jesus joins them as a fellow-traveller. “Something” prevents them from recognising him. What was that “something”? Their presumption that he was dead? Seeing their obvious desponde...

Living Space Saint Laurence Deacon – Readings | Sacred Space
http://livingspace.sacredspace.ie/f0810a
Saint Laurence Deacon – Readings. Saint Laurence Deacon – Commentary on 2 Cor 9:6-10; Ps 111; John 12:24-26. Reading from John presents an ideal image of Laurence. Just before today’s reading begins we are told by John that some ‘Greeks’ had come to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover. They were non-Jews who had probably converted to the Jewish faith. It is clear, too, that in Jerusalem they had heard people talking about Jesus and what he was saying and doing. In the First Reading. Which is from the Sec...

Living Space BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST (CORPUS CHRISTI) | Sacred Space
http://livingspace.sacredspace.ie/oa121r
BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST (CORPUS CHRISTI). Commentary on Deuteronomy 8:2-3.14b-16a; 1 Corinthians 10:16-17; John 6:51-58. Every persecuted Church realises this and struggles to keep the Eucharist alive in its communities. We have seen that in countless examples over the centuries, including our own. We have seen how Catholics in China went to enormous lengths to celebrate the Eucharist in spite of appalling difficulties. What do we do? What do we do at the Eucharist? Basically we do two things:. Not real...

The Church is basically that community and complex of communities spread all over the world which is continuing the visible presence of God and his work by living openly in the Spirit of Jesus and offering its experience of knowing Christ to the world.

Living Space Saint Laurence Deacon | Sacred Space
http://livingspace.sacredspace.ie/F0810S
St Laurence, Deacon and Martyr (Feast). The gridiron is his most common emblem but sometimes also a purse of money to recall his almsgiving. On occasion, he is paired with Stephen, also a deacon. The most complete cycle of his life was painted by Fra Angelico for the chapel of Nicholas V in the Vatican and there are stained-glass windows of his life in the cathedrals of Bourges and Poitiers in France. Comments Off on Saint Laurence Deacon. Memorial of the Passion of Saint John the Baptist.

St Clare, Virgin (Memorial). Clare lived for short periods, first, at a nearby Benedictine convent, San Paolo della Abadesse, and then at a house of women penitents, Sant’ Angelo on Monte Subasio. Clare was joined here by her mother and two sisters as well as some of the wealthy Ubaldini family from Florence. In art, she is shown carrying a monstrance or pyx, in commemoration of the time when she warded away attackers at the gates of her convent by raising the Blessed Sacrament over the wall. Memorial of...

http://livingspace.sacredspace.ie/O1194G
Wednesday of week 19 of Ordinary Time – Gospel. Commentary on Matthew 18:15-20. The discourse on the church (cont’d). Today’s part of the discourse shifts from the harm that we can do to others to the harm that others can do to the community and how the community and its members should respond. Clearly we are speaking here of some serious wrong which hurts the mission of the Church community. The word Matthew uses for â community’ here is â church’,. 8216;ekklhsia) or, in Hebrew,.

http://livingspace.sacredspace.ie/O1194r
Wednesday of week 19 of Ordinary Time – First Reading. Commentary on Deut 34:1-12. Our final reading from the book of Deuteronomy is also the whole of the final chapter of the book. It is also our last reading from the Pentateuch. Here he has a vision which embraces the whole Promised Land, into which he will not go, but of which he thus takes possession behalf of the people. He could not actually see the whole territory with the naked eye from the top of the mountain. He saw the whole of the Promised La...
