A posture of renewal, Mary's luminous queenship

Ecclesia Christi Midweek

Homilies

Father Brendan challenges us to assume the saints’ posture of interior renewal, while Father Justin, on the Cathedral’s patronal feast of Mary’s Queenship, reflects on what is revealed about humanity through the building and the person it honors.

We are pleased to remind you that homily recordings are now posted with the text.

Articles

This week’s articles expand last week’s theological exploration of music and culture. In “Why Music Matters: An Addendum,” Father Justin makes the case for music (in both notes and words) as means of seeking God. In “Hearing West Through Christian Tradition,” Father Brendan compares musician Kanye West’s lyrical themes to the contemporaneous heed of Pope Francis against society’s moral laxity.
