Episode 22: Year A – Third Sunday of Easter
In this episode of the Sunday Catholic Word, we focus on three details in the readings for the Third Sunday of Easter, Year A. The first detail is Peter’s speech on the Day of Pentecost, which makes up the first reading from Acts 2:14, 22-23. This corresponds to the apologetical topic of the Papacy. The second detail, coming from the second reading (1 Peter 1:17-25), is Peter’s comment about God judging us according to our works, which, of course, relates to the topic of salvation and the relationship that good works have with it. The third detail is Luke’s mention of Mary’s “sin offering” made at the Presentation of the Lord, which is narrated in the Gospel reading, taken from Luke 2:13-35. This raises questions concerning Mary’s sinlessness.
