Aim Higher Podcast: Bonus! Youth Retreat Sermons with Bishop Giles Butler, OFM DD
Aim Higher Podcast
Pax et Bonum! Peace and good to you all! In early June, we celebrated our first Youth Retreat in Rochester, New York. Each morning, the children attended Holy Mass, beautifully celebrated by His Excellency, Most Reverend Giles Butler, OFM DD, and engaged in a series of enlightening sermons. Although these sermons were aimed at a specific age group, I believe they would be beneficial for all of us to listen to!
info_outlineIn this episode, we discuss the two pillars of the Church - Saint Peter and Saint Paul.
Though Peter and Paul had some differences, their unity is symbolized by their love of Christ, which they embraced on their way to martyrdom.
Read along with Father from 1 Corinthians 12: 1-20
"Now concerning spiritual things, my brethren, I would not have you ignorant. You know that when you were heathens, you went to dumb idols, according as you were led. Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man, speaking by the Spirit of God, saith Anathema to Jesus. And no man can say the Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost. Now there are diversities of graces, but the same Spirit; And there are diversities of ministries, but the same Lord;
And there are diversities of operations, but the same God, who worketh all in all. And the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man unto profit. To one indeed, by the Spirit, is given the word of wisdom: and to another, the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; To another, faith in the same spirit; to another, the grace of healing in one Spirit; To another, the working of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, the discerning of spirits; to another, diverse kinds of tongues; to another, interpretation of speeches.
But all these things one and the same Spirit worketh, dividing to every one according as he will. For as the body is one, and hath many members; and all the members of the body, whereas they are many, yet are one body, so also is Christ. For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free; and in one Spirit we have all been made to drink. For the body also is not one member, but many. If the foot should say, because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
And if the ear should say, because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were the eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? But now God hath set the members every one of them in the body as it hath pleased him. And if they all were one member, where would be the body? But now there are many members indeed, yet one body."
