The Third Sunday Of Easter

The Third Sunday Of Easter


O God, whose blessed Son did manifest himself to his disciples in the breaking of bread: Open, we pray thee, the eyes of our faith, that we may behold him in all his redeeming work; through the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

10:00 a.m. - 10:45 a.m.

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 another Easter sermon by John Henry Newman: ‚ÄúSaving Knowledge,‚Äù a sermon for Easter Monday on the text, ‚ÄúHereby do we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.‚Äù It’s sermon 14 in volume 2 of Parochial and Plain Sermons, and you can find it here. (But there is no expectation that you will have read the sermon before class.) Newman continues to nourish us with his profound understanding of Scripture. We hope you’ll be able to join the class.
