Contemplata — Christianity
Contemplata

The purpose of our lives is to come to know God, yet on account of sin the eyes of our hearts have grown blind to the presence of God. Just as Jesus healed the blind men in the Gospels, so God is now at work to heal the eyes of our hearts by the light of his grace. Contemplata is a podcast for those seeking to grow in contemplative prayer—the loving awareness of the presence of God. Fr. James Dominic Brent, O.P. is a Dominican Friar of the Province of St. Joseph.

Show notes

When we receive holy communion, the sacrament has certain effects on us—spiritual or supernatural effects. Just as food nourishes a child and causes the child to grow strong in bodily life, so holy communion nourishes our souls and causes us to grow strong in the spiritual life, the life of grace.

In this episode of Contemplata, Fr. James Brent, O.P. further explains how the sacrifice Christ offered at Calvary is the same sacrifice on the altar at every Mass.

Contemplata Episode 5 | The Sacrifice of Jesus Christ | Fr. James Brent, O.P. May 07, 2024

Show notes

Jesus fulfilled the law of sacrifice in a unique way when he offered himself to the Father on Calvary. In his sacrifice, we find the three elements common to all sacrifice. First, we find an inward or spiritual sacrifice—the offering of his heart to the Father. Second, we find an outward act of sacrifice—a definite gesture expressing the gift of his heart. Third, we find a thing offered. In this episode of Contemplata, Fr. James Brent, O.P., considers each of these.
