Sunday Sampler No. 2: the feast edition

Good evening everyone, and welcome to the second Sunday Sampler. Today's theme is feasts, which is what I prefer to do on my Sundays. We're celebrating the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, so let's actually celebrate.

[1] In this spirit, Fr Mark Goring offers that celebrating is not optional. You vill feast on ze Lord's day, and you vill be joyful.

Now, because yours truly is so late this Sunday, we have two entries of Didact's Sunday Scripture series.

[2] First, we have Eliphaz the Temanite reporting the prosperity of the innocent. One phrase really struck me: 'At destruction and famine you shall laugh,'. These guys knew how to party, having fun even in disaster!

[3] In the second entry,  Elihu asserts God's Justice. Justice is also a reason to celebrate, merely that it exists, even if we do not see it in this life.

Next, we have another double entry, called The Blessed Hope by Frank Luke. I haven't had time to read the whole thing, but hope is awesome and should be celebrated, so enjoy:

[4] Part One

[5] And Part Two

[6] Roosh offers some advice from a saint on how to respond to personal attacks and other assorted offences. Not exactly fun material but definitely worth knowing because it reduces the amount of beef and drama you have to lug around in your heart. Don't be a debbie downer when you can just love your enemy instead.

[7] We close out with another awesome Fr Mark Goring video that I just discovered. It happens to be about my favourite Bible passage: the wedding at Cana.  If you ever wondered about Jesus' teachings concerning feasts and celebrations, consider that his first public miracle was a booze run on the order of 150 gallons of wine.

Have a blessed Sunday everyone!
