Celtic Cross Sunday Mass - Eighteenth Sunday After Pentecost

Bishop Benny Sagra celebrates the Sunday Mass on the Eighteen Sunday After Pentecost as a Sunday Ministry of St. John The Evangelist Chapel, Laguna Woods, California, USA.  Liturgical Color:  Green <> Epistle:  1 Corinthians 1:4-8  <>  Gospel:  Matthew 9:1-8  <>  Synopsis:  "Your sins are forgiven you."  We also hear the identical words, "I absolve you from your sins," when after due preparation we humbly confess our sins.  Let us be grateful to God for the Sacrament of Penance and use it frequently to restore or to increase the supernatural life of our souls, without which we cannot be pleasing to Him.
