2 June 2024 - Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ ‘B

Exodus 24:3-8; Hebrews 9:11-15; Mark 14:12...26

Homily         

          When we celebrate the Eucharist, we remember the last meal Jesus had with his disciples, as recounted by the Evangelist Mark. For us, when we hold this celebration, it is a sacrament, a ritual gesture, a memorial. But for Jesus and his disciples, it wasn't a ritual, it was a real meal. And it's important not to forget that, if we want to understand this story properly. In fact, when Jesus said ‘This is my body’ as he offered them the bread, he was really there, in body and soul, before them, still very much alive.

Samedi de la 8^ème semaine du Temps Ordinaire – 1 juin 2024

Jude 17, 20b-25 ; Mc 11, 27-33

Mémoire de saint Justin, martyr

Homélie

          Dans notre lecture de l’Évangile de Marc, nous en sommes, depuis hier, au chapitre onze qui débutait avec l’entrée triomphale de Jésus à Jérusalem. Et, dans le récit que nous lisons aujourd’hui, nous avons un bel exemple de la confrontation de Jésus avec les scribes et les anciens du peuple. Une confrontation qui ne cessera de s’amplifier et qui conduira à la mort de Jésus sur la Croix.

Saturday of the 8th Week in Ordinary Time – June 1^st 2024

Jude 17, 20b-25; Mk 11, 27-33

Memory of Saint Justin, martyr

Homily

          In our reading of Mark's Gospel, we have now reached chapter eleven, which began with Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. And in the story we are reading today, we have a fine example of Jesus' confrontation with the scribes and the elders of the people. A confrontation that will continue to escalate and lead to Jesus' death on the Cross.
