Celtic Holy Mass - Septuagesima Sunday

Bishop Benny Sagra celebrates the Celtic Holy Mass on Septuagesima Sunday which is a Pre-Lenten season Sunday Eucharist

Liturgical Color - Purple

Epistle - 1 Corinthians 9:24

Gospel - Matthew 20:-16

Synopsis of the Mass:  When viewed in the light of Adam's fall, the Mass celebrated today contains a solemn note of sorrow.  God holds out a great reward to us, but we must work to receive it.  Unfortunately, we are by nature more inclined to endure hardships for the perishable goods of this life than we are for the Kingdom of God and our eternal happiness in it.
