Manage episode 330350920 series 2911819
In this episode we discuss the importance and solemnity of Memorial Day, a day when we remember those who "gave their last full measure of devotion" in the service of their country. We must never forget their sacrifice, nor the precious life that each of those heroes gave to preserve and protect our nation. But we must also be cautions of those who would rush the nation into wars, of adventure and nation building. This is also the feast of the Visitation, commemorating the visit of Mary to her older cousin Elizabeth when both were with child (Mary with Jesus and Elizabeth with the Baptist). What is the meaning of the visitation for us? Finally, we discussed the meaning of both the Jewish fest of Pentecost (Shavuot) and the Christian feast of Pentecost that we will celebrate this coming Sunday.
