"This past week in the Breviary, I have found certain readings in the
Office of Readings to be helpful and encouraging in times like these.
With Western culture collapsing and many in the Church seeking to adapt
the Lord’s teaching to the modern (and collapsing) age, we need to stand
firm, not loose heart and actively resist notions that seek to set
aside what the Lord has clearly taught. . . ."
In a recent commentary Charles Pope (pastor of Holy Comforter-Saint Cyprian Parish,
Washington, DC) reflected on these readings and their reminder that this is a time in the Church for testing, that we are being refined and purified, that true repentance is hard to come by, and that tribulation produces future glory.
