I decided to do this week's podcast in honor of three holy days (not Holy Days of Obligation, at least not in the United States) that happened right around now.  Actually, the Immaculate Heart of Mary was superceded this year by the Birth of St. John the Baptist.  This may be a bit different from what you'd expect, but I think it worked okay.

Today is Corpus Christi, the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ.  I decided to give a short meditation on the Eucharist and then follow it up with a brief explanation of why a new translation of the Liturgy was approved and was needed.  I've written a lot on my blog about it, but I wanted my podcast audience to hear it as well.  I'm afraid it will cause some confusion at first, but hopefully good catechesis will allow us to really love it in the end.

Since today is Trinity Sunday, I thought I'd try to give a bit of a meditation on the Holy Trinity and how we can understand through this dogma that God is love. 

This is one of those things that I've been wanting to say for a long time.  I've heard people who don't believe all that the Church teaches say things like "the Church must be open to the inspiration of the Spirit."  Somehow I guess we are supposed to believe that they, rather than the Magisterium, know what the Spirit is saying.  Well, my contention here is that the Church is following the Holy Spirit, and I give several examples.  Have a Blessed Pentecost Sunday!
