“‘It ain’t no sin to be glad you’re alive’: Praise in an Age of Agitation”
The 2022 Pluscarden Pentecost Lectures given by Dr Christopher Ruddy, Catholic University of America
Homily for the Feast of the Sacred Heart, 11 June 2021: John 19:31-37
In our recent Pentecost lectures, Fr. Thomas Joseph White explored how the life, death and resurrection of Jesus reveal the mystery of the Holy Trinity. White’s starting point of course was the mystery of the Incarnation. For we believe - and it’s true! - that the man Jesus is also God the Son; he is at once fully human, and also fully divine.
