Balancing the Material and the Spiritual Homilies by Fr. James Farfaglia

    • Christianity

The equilibrium of Catholicism is explained today by Father James. It is the both/and approach to all of reality. Catholicism celebrates the physical as a gift from God, but it points our direction to the things of God as our treasure and the pearl of great price. During the Collect of today's Mass, the priest prays: "we may use the good things that pass in such a way as to hold fast even now to those that ever endure."
