About this episode

This episode explores the harmony of justice and mercy in the context of the Catholic Mass readings for the 12th Sunday of Ordinary Time.

The world treats justice and mercy as opposites, but the readings for the 12th Sunday of Ordinary Time reveal them as one divine harmony. Through Jeremiah's fire, Paul's overflowing grace, and Christ's tender justice in Matthew, the liturgy of the Mass shows us where justice purifies, mercy restores, and grace overflows the reach of sin. The post In the Liturgy of the Catholic Mass, Divine Justice and Peace Kiss (12th Sunday of Ordinary Time) – Year A first appeared on Saint Dominic's Media.
