Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time

For a doctrinal homily outline for the Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time, please click here.

• Central Idea: Perseverance in living the faith.
• Doctrine: Perseverance, supernatural perseverance, and Final Perseverance.
• Practical Application: Living perseverance.

Here is an excerpt:

• To live perseverance in the Faith we already have sanctifying grace, but we need constant injections of sacramental and actual graces, for example, through the cleansing of Confession and the infusion of the Eucharist.
  • A good rule is Saturday Confession and Sunday Communion. Confession is our medicine and the Eucharist our food for the journey to eternal life.
  • We also need the light of Divine Revelation to see our path and we have this in the teachings of the Church, for example as articulated in the Catechism.
  • Finally, we need to keep acting in accord with our Faith—we keep walking uphill, downhill, in rain, in heat, in snow, and when it is pleasant.
