Santa Misa de Hoy Abril 24, 2026

This episode of CANITY presents a full Catholic Mass celebrated on April 24, 2026, titled 'Santa Misa de Hoy'. The service follows the traditional liturgy, beginning with the Penitential Rite, the Gloria, and the Liturgy of the Word, which includes a reading from the Acts of the Apostles about the conversion of Saul (Paul) and a Gospel passage on the Eucharist from John 6. The homily reflects deeply on the Eucharist as true food and the central role of grace in Christian life, emphasizing that all good actions are done 'for Christ'—not for self, but out of gratitude and dependence on divine strength. The speaker draws on theologians like Karl Barth and G.K. Chesterton to contrast Catholicism with Protestant traditions, highlighting the Church’s emphasis on tradition, balance, and the 'conjunctive' nature of faith. The homily centers on the preposition 'por' (for), illustrating how Christian life is lived 'for Jesus'—in love, gratitude, and reliance on grace. The Mass continues with the Eucharistic Prayer, intercessions for the living and the dead, the Lord’s Prayer, and concluding blessings. The episode closes with a personal prayer of trust and adoration to Jesus.
