In this segment from the Son Rise Morning Show, Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C. discusses the first pillar of the USCCB document Called to the Joy of Love: Prayer and Relationship with Christ. Called to the Joy of Love is the national pastoral framework for marriage and family life ministry, which came out in 2021 and is inspired by Pope Francis’ 2016 encyclical Amoris Laetitia addressing the pastoral care of families, following the Synods on the Family in 2014 and 2015. Called to the Joy of Love is meant for the marriage and family life directors in dioceses and is focused on the reality of family life today and how the Church can assist those who are to be married, those who are married, and those who are growing their family. The four pillars of this document are: prayer and relationship with Christ, formation, accompaniment, and advocacy within the public square.Listen to the first installment in the Called to the Joy of Love miniseries here.View Catholic postolate Center resources on Marriage and Family Life Here.Read Called to the Joy of Love here.Read Amoris Laetitia by Pope Francis here.Follow us:The Catholic Apostolate CenterThe Center's podcast websiteInstagramFacebookApple PodcastsSpotifyFr.

In this segment from the Son Rise Morning Show, Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C. discusses the Sacred Paschal Triduum, the three most solemn, holiest days of the Church year, beginning on Holy Thursday, continuing with Good Friday, and Holy Saturday, and concluding with Evening Prayer II on Easter Sunday. Fr. Frank discusses the liturgies of the triduum, including: the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, the Commemoration of the Passion of the Lord, the Easter Vigil, and Easter Sunday. On Holy Thursday, there may be a Chrism Mass celebrated at the Cathedral where the sacred sacramental oils are blessed for the next year and there is a Mass in the evening with the Mandatum, the washing of the feet as Jesus did, followed by a procession of the Blessed Sacrament to an altar of repose where the faithful can pray with Christ. On Good Friday, the church buildings are stripped bare, like Jesus was on the way to Calvary, and the Blessed Sacrament is not present. A Liturgy of the Word is celebrated followed by Communion and veneration of the Holy Cross. Next, on Holy Saturday, the bells are quiet as the Church prepares for the Easter Vigil where the Paschal Candle is blessed and the Exultet is sung, followed by the return of the Alleluia. The faithful will renew their Baptismal vows and prepare for the Resurrection of the Lord. Finally, Easter Sunday Mass is celebrated where again the faithful will renew their Baptismal vows. The Sacred Paschal Triduum then concludes with Evening Prayer II on Easter Evening.To learn more about the Triduum and the Easter Season visit the Catholic Apostolate Center’s resource page here.
