We Mexicans also have a tradition of "Rosca de Reyes" (King Cake) celebrated during a party on January 6th. Those who find a plastic Jesus in their slice of cake, have to get together and give a party for everyone on February 2. (Circumcision of the Lord).

Dear Dr. Bergsma, thank you for all your work. In the years of protestant study, I saw that the Last Supper was held on the Thursday night but, the Passover was to be held on the following Friday night. Is this a contradiction? Was it the case that so many people were crowded into Jerusalem that some dinners were held on one evening and the rest on the following evening? For decades, I was confused about whether Jesus drank wine or vinegar on the cross until, it was learned that vinegar was spoiled wine. Thanks so much for your help. Pax.

Dr Bergsma you make the nicest stick figure ha ha.. Thankyou, & a very Happy & Blessed Christmas & New Year ❤ Is the feast of the Epiphany not on the 6th though? I don't know why, but we used to call it 'little Christmas' and the Christmas decorations came down that day - like a tradition of sorts. Perhaps it's to do with time zones?

Most dioceses in the US celebrate Epiphany on the Sunday after January 1 so that regular Mass goers can celebrate it without yet another non-Sunday day of obligation.

I'm really curious ... my mom always told me growing to ''offer my struggles and sufferings to God'' and never fully grasped what that was supposed to produce. I came up with my own rational for doing that but would love to have more grounding to it. The mention here that ''myrr is offering our daily struggles as sacrifices in Union with the Lord'' is a first hearing for me! Where does this tradition come from? How is it rooted in the Bible? Are there Saints which specifically told about this? Total neophyte here, thank you ... !

Hi Alexandre! When we speak about "offering it up", we are talking about the concept of redemptive suffering. As Catholics, we believe that Christ invites us to unite our suffering with His Passion and that, when we do this, our suffering takes on redemptive power. It can be offered for ourselves or others, for the salvation of souls, and to make reparation for sin. We can see it in the Bible in Colossians 1:24. Many, many saints speak on it, including St. John Paul II, Gemma Galgani, St. Josemaria Escriva, etc! You can find more information with these two resources provided by the St. Paul Center: stpaulcenter.com/product/making-sense-of-suffering/ stpaulcenter.com/product/how-christ-saves-souls-with-us-the-mystery-of-co-redemption/ God Bless!

The beginning of Ordinary Time is not related to the beginning of Lent. The Baptism of the Lord ends the Christmas season on the Sunday after January 6, or the next day on Monday if Epiphany was celebrated that Sunday.

QUESTION- Why is it that King Uziah is punished for acting like a priest in 2 CHRONICLES 26 but when King David acts like a priest he's not punished?
@ronaldvolders
8 ай бұрын
David was both king and priest (in the order of Melchizedek). A king of Jerusalem would also be a priest in the order of Melchizedek, that is by upfollowing not by birth right. I suppose that king Uziah acted like he was God himself and David did not act like God himself.
@charliefrostcharlie

@@ronaldvolders but then even King Uziah is in the lineage of David, and is the king of Judah The explanation I'm able to come up with is- that God understands the heart of each of them, so then David was trying to escape from the hands of Saul and was out of helplessness asking to eat from the bread kept for the priests only, whereas Uziah wanted to take up on himself the duty of the priest out of pride. I think that the intentions behind their actions is what sets them apart, so God blesses one and curses the other. (Do you think I'm right in my conclusion?)
