Podcast Homilies for Lent

All seven episodes in my revised and, hopefully, improved Podcast Homilies for Lent are now online.  Previously, there was no Podcast Homily just for Ash Wednesday.   In this version Ash Wednesday, St. Gregory the Great’s gift to the world in 601 A.D., has its own Podcast Homily.  This leaves the Podcast Homilies for Easter, Ascension, Pentecost/Whitsunday, and Trinity remaining to be recorded later in the Spring.  You can listen to any episode using the links on the Podcast Homilies page.

In my remarks for Palm Sunday I offer a combined reading based upon all the Gospel accounts of Palm Sunday.  Among the images I used in the companion Seasonal Video video series for Lent, Episode Three, I used the image below.

Meanwhile, I continue making excellent progress on the revised versions of our Bible Study Video series, The New Testament: Gospels.  Scripts are written and slides prepared for the first eleven episodes, taking the series through the Gospels of St. Matthew and St. Mark.  I recorded and edited Episode One earlier this week and hope to have it available online next week.  Episode One is focused on the New Testament’s history and a lot of background information about how it was developed, when and by whom.  I hope viewers will be pleased with the illustrations I chose for the episode, including an illuminated cover from the Book of Kells, circa 800 A.D., and a text page with the words from  John 1:1  painted in the last Qtr of the 9th C-1st Qtr of the 10th C. and used in English Coronations for generations afteward.

Podcast Homilies for “Gesima” Season

The revised and expanded Podcast Homiles series now includes three Homilies for Septuagesima, Sexagesima and Quinquagesima Sundays.  In the style of the revised material being produced for the 2018-2019 Church Year, the homilies include cross-reference to Other AIC Resouces linked from this Web Site.

Septuagesima Sunday:
1st Corinthians 9:24-27/Matthew 20:1-16
Sexagesima Sunday:
2nd Corinthians 11:19-31/Luke 8:4-15
Quinquagesima Sunday:
1st Corinthians 1:1-13/Luke 18:31-43

Podcast Homilies for Ash Wednesday, the Sundays in Lent, Easter, the Sundays after Easter; Ascension; Sunday after Ascension; Whitsunday; Trinity Sunday, the Sundays after Trinity will be recorded and uploaded in the coming weeks, hopefully before Easter Day.

Meanwhile, I continue to work on the revised versions of all 45 episodes in our Bible Study Video series, New Testament: Gospels.  Slides and Script for Episode One through Episode Seven, focused on the Gospel of St. Matthew, are complete, but the voice track has yet to be recorded.  There are about twice as many slides in the new version and all episodes include many of the examples of historic art which have been used in our video series, plus a great many more which were made into the correct format late last year.  There will be illustration which viewers most likely have never seen, especially in a higher resolution format.
