1. Interesting Echo! Today’s 1st Reading seems to be echoing Sunday’s Scripture theme of “being called.” Hebrews 10:24 tells us: “We must consider how to rouse one another to love and good works.” Hmmm. Is that what each of us is called to do?

A “stumbling block” for some is how St. Paul describes “Christ crucified” (1 Corinthians 1:23) probably because the cross was the means of capital punishment for thieves, robbers, and insurrectionists at the time.
In the 4th century Constantine abolished crucifixion and promoted the cross as the primary symbol for Christians. Thus, today the cross is a powerful sign of the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ – what the Church calls the Paschal Mystery.
This month’s video explores the meaning of this Mystery…How does the cross bring about our salvation? Did Jesus really “descend into hell”? How do we share in the cross daily? How do we rise with Him daily?
The answers to these questions can be found by watching the video: The Paschal Mystery: The Mystery of Jesus’s Death and Resurrection
A panel discussion with Corpus Christi parishioners can, as usual, be found at the end of the video. Don’t miss it! Click theButton below to go to the parish website
