The Soul Worth More Than the Whole World | Third Sunday After Pentecost

📖 Third Sunday After Pentecost "What doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his own soul?" The Third Sunday after Pentecost presents one of the most important lessons in the Christian life. In the Epistle, Saint Peter warns the faithful to remain vigilant because the devil goes about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. In the Gospel, Our Lord reveals the mercy of God through the parables of the Lost Sheep and the Lost Coin. Together, these readings answer a profound question: Why does God seek sinners with such patience and mercy? The answer is found in the value of the human soul. Created by God, redeemed by the Precious Blood of Christ, and destined for eternity, the soul is man's greatest treasure. For this reason the Church has always labored for the salvation of souls, heaven rejoices over repentance, and Christ seeks the lost with unfailing mercy. In this traditional catechetical lesson based on Rev. Leonard Goffine's The Church's Year, we examine: ✠ What the Church teaches about the soul ✠ Why the soul is exposed to spiritual danger ✠ Saint Peter's warning about the roaring lion ✠ Why sinners approached Christ ✠ The meaning of the Lost Sheep ✠ The meaning of the Lost Coin ✠ Why heaven rejoices over repentance ✠ Why one soul is worth more than the whole world Source: The Church's Year by Rev.
