The Catholic Files – Season 3, Episode 19 The Lord's Day

The Catholic Files with Fr. Donnelly continues its journey through the timeless writings of Saint Pope John Paul II with an in-depth discussion of his Apostolic Letter Dies Domini (The Lord's Day). Why is Sunday so much more than just the end of the weekend? In this powerful document, Saint John Paul II reminds us that the Lord's Day is the weekly celebration of Christ's Resurrection—our "little Easter" each week. Sunday is the day the Church gathers to worship, encounter Christ in the Holy Eucharist, rest in God's presence, and renew our hope in the promise of eternal life. Join Fr. Sean Donnelly as he explores the rich biblical, historical, and spiritual meaning of keeping the Lord's Day holy. Discover why faithful participation in Sunday Mass has always been at the heart of Catholic life and how reclaiming Sunday can transform our families, strengthen our faith, and deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ. Whether you are rediscovering your Catholic faith or seeking a deeper understanding of the Church's teaching, this episode offers practical wisdom and inspiring insights from one of the greatest popes of the modern era. Listen now and discover why Sunday is the day of the Risen Lord, the day of the Church, and the day of Christian joy and hope. For more episodes of The Catholic Files with Fr.
