Episode 58: Year B – Feast of Holy Family
In this episode of the Sunday Catholic Word, I focus on five details that come from all three readings for this upcoming Feast of the Holy Family, Year B. The first detail is Abraham’s faith and the righteousness that is credited to him spoken of in the first reading option taken from Genesis 15:1-6; 21:1-3. When this detail is read in tandem with the second reading option taken from Hebrews 11:8, 11-12, and 17-19, the related apologetical topic that comes to the fore is justification and the idea that it’s not a one-time event in the past but has multiple stages. The second and third details come from the second reading option taken from Colossians 3:12-21. The related topics are the meaning of a wife’s submission to her husband and the limits of a child’s obedience to his parents. Finally, the last two details come from the Gospel reading, taken from Luke 22:39-40. The related topics are the good of obeying Church disciplinary precepts and the theology of grace as found in Christ’s human soul.
