St. Louis to Rome, Sieci to Portsmouth | Do You Love Me? | The Idea of the Resurrection
St. Louis to Rome, Sieci to Portsmouth
Inspired by the recent ordination of Fr. Benedict Maria, the election of Pope Leo XIV, and the upcoming installation of Bishop Bruce Lewandowski here in Rhode Island, Br. Sixtus takes a brief travel down memory lane, sharing tales of ordinations past.
Abbot Michael Brunner, O.S.B., offered this homily on the Third Sunday of Easter, May 4, 2025, two days after the ordination of Father Benedict Maria, O.S.B. He connects the ordination of Fr. Benedict to the Gospel of the day and the query Jesus presents to Peter: Do you love me?
This Easter reflection from Abbot Matthew Stark, O.S.B., on the meaning of the Resurrection, was first published forty-five years ago in the Portsmouth Bulletin for the summer of 1980.
