Somethings About Mary

by evanbrankin | March 28, 2017 | Apologetics | 0 Comments

Last week we celebrated the Solemnity of the Annunciation, marking nine months until the Nativity. Catholics often receive a lot of questions about Mary from non-Catholics, especially non-Catholic Christians, so here are some FAQ talking points: Catholics don’t...

Laetare!

by evanbrankin | March 28, 2017 | Youth Minister's Musings | 0 Comments

We didn’t get to have our usual scripture reflection for this past Sunday’s readings as we didn’t have our regular Wednesday youth night last week. So before we reach Wednesday this week, I want to take a moment to highlight some things from the...

The Silent Saint

by evanbrankin | March 20, 2017 | Youth Minister's Musings | 0 Comments

Let’s talk for a moment about today. Today is the Solemnity of St. Joseph. A Solemnity is a special type of feast day, typically reserved to events revolving around Jesus’ life or for members of His family. They are holy days essentially equivalent in rank...

Lenten Penances

by evanbrankin | March 20, 2017 | Youth Minister's Musings | 0 Comments

I want to take a moment to remind everyone that taking up a penitential practice for Lent isn’t the same as a New Year’s Resolution. The prevailing opinion seems to be for the latter that once you “broke it” you can’t regain it....

Cathedra

by evanbrankin | March 20, 2017 | Youth Minister's Musings | 0 Comments

So two days ago we celebrated the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter. I figure this is an odd enough sounding feast that we should probably talk about it a little. Why are we celebrating a chair? The chair of St. Peter, or “cathedra,” is the specific place...

St. Valentine

by evanbrankin | March 20, 2017 | Youth Minister's Musings | 0 Comments

Tomorrow is the unofficial feast of St. Valentine. Why unofficial? Because in the most recent calendar created for celebrating the Saints’ feasts removed Valentine due to there being so little known about him. Instead, we celebrate Sts. Cyril and Methodius on...

Be Ananias

by evanbrankin | March 20, 2017 | Youth Minister's Musings | 0 Comments

Today is the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul. There are lots of things going on in the readings for today from Acts, and in this story, but I want to focus on just one: Ananias. Ananias appears first in Acts 9:10-16, and without quoting the entire passage, I want...

Dante, Hell, and an Ice Storm

by evanbrankin | March 20, 2017 | Youth Minister's Musings | 0 Comments

In Dante’s Inferno Satan is imprisoned in the lowest circle of Hell. This part of Hell is not conceived of as filled with fire and brimstone, but as a prison of darkness and cold. Satan’s sins according to Dante are pride and treachery – and he is...

The Name of Jesus

by evanbrankin | March 20, 2017 | Youth Minister's Musings | 0 Comments

Today is the Feast of the Most Holy Name of Jesus. Let’s think about this for a moment. Paul in Philippians says that because of His humility and obedience to God the Father, Jesus has been greatly exalted, that His name is above every other name, and that at...

Holy Family

by evanbrankin | March 20, 2017 | Youth Minister's Musings | 0 Comments

Today is the Feast of the Holy Family. I know a lot of our families aren’t very holy. Mine certainly isn’t. It’s important to remember that for thirty years of His life, Jesus Christ lived as a regular boy, in a family with a foster father and...

Ordinary Time

by evanbrankin | March 20, 2017 | Youth Minister's Musings | 0 Comments

This week is the first week of “Ordinary Time.” The first week after the season of Christmas is always the beginning of ordinary time in the liturgical calendar – but what do we mean by “ordinary?” Let’s start with what is NOT meant...
