In this episode of the Catholic Link podcast. Fr. Rob and Fr. George discuss how and why some of the Psalms ask God to enact God’s justice on his enemies. They explain how the Psalms are prayers. In some of these Psalms, the Psalmist asks God to enact his justice on those who offend God and hurt the people of Israel. This reminds us today that the Church, the new Israel, has enemies too. Jesus said, “Love your enemies,” but did not say to not have enemies. There are people who seek to destroy the Church. We obviously should pray for their conversion, but we have faith that God will enact God’s justice, give what is due to all.
Listen to the previous episode where. Fr. Rob, Fr. George, discussed the Assumption of Mary as a foreshadowing of our resurrection. They discuss how the Assumption definition and why. Next, they reflect that the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven, body and soul, is a foreshadowing of what we are to expect in God’s new creation. The New Testament points to a new Heaven and a new Earth. Our bodies and souls reunite at Christ’s second coming at the end of time. In the meantime, we await the new creation and pray for our beloved dead who have gone before us. We pray for their repose of their souls. In turn, we ask for their intercession for us.
