The Sermons of John Henry Newman
Sunday, February 26, 2012
10:00am - 10:45am -
Fifth Floor, Saint Thomas Church Parish House
This series of Sunday classes is on selected parochial and plain sermons of John Henry Newman. There are eight published volumes of these sermons, given by Newman when he was an Anglican priest (and republished some years ago in a fine one-volume edition by Ignatius Press). We will not do them all! Fr Austin's plan is this: each week to consider one sermon that is connected to our place in the liturgical year.
This week we look at a sermon Newman preached for the feast of Saint Matthias (which fell on February 24). Matthias, of course, is the apostle chosen to take Judas’s place. If you’d like to see in advance what Newman makes of the feast, you may read the sermon here. It’s in Parochial and Plain Sermons, vol. 2, no. 11: “Divine Decrees.” Whether you read the sermon or not, you’re welcome to the class.
