About

Fr. Brian Larkin preaches about the readings for the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time, particularly Mark 9:38-48, on September 26, 2021. -Jesus calls you and I not to be haphazard about our Christian life, but to be intentional in fighting against temptations to sin. -Fr. Brian -"If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed than with two hands to go into Gehenna." (Mark 9:43) -You and I, we don't compromise with sin, we make war against sin.... We have to be intentional in the battle against sin. -Fr. Brian -"If I, who seem to be your right hand and am called a priest and seem to preach the Word of God, if I do something against the discipline of the Church and the rule of the Gospel so that I become a scandal to you, the Church, then may the whole Church in unanimous resolve cut me, its right hand, off and throw me away." (Origen) -We follow one God, we follow one Church, we do not follow people who veer too far off the track of what Jesus and His Church teaches....The Scriptures and the Church herself are the only things that have authority. -Fr. Brian -Fr. Brian's Challenge: Our Lady of Lourdes should be a sanctuary in the city. We will never build that unless we do it together.
