Father Ed Broom in his Friday night Perseverance talk devotes his efforts to the Feast of Corpus Christi – this Sunday, June 10, 2012.

He gives us the Biblical explanations of the Eucharist both in the Old and New Testaments. He places our belief in the Eucharist in an ecclesial context by explaining several key Papal documents and Sacrosanctum Concilium from Vatican Two. He explains clearly the need to both have the Dogma and the Devotion and gives several examples of ways to deepen our devotion. His prayer is that every day each of us would fall more and more in love with Jesus in the Eucharist.

Father Broom’s homily on June 7, 2012 – preaching on Mark 12:28-34.

“Which is the greatest of all the Commandments?” Father Ed suggests we make the Lord’s answer our daily prayer: Today I shall love the Lord my God with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my mind, and with all my strength. And today I shall love my neighbor as myself. What a powerful prayer…. and Father shows us that St. Thomas Aquinas lived this prayer and is a true model of love of God and neighbor.
