31ST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME- AND THE ROLE OF THE MAGISTERIUM IN THE TEACHING AND GOVERNANCE OF THE CHURCH...........

On this 31st Sunday of Ordinary Time, God's Word proclaims through the Prophet Malachi, in the Hebrew Scriptures of the Old Testament, and Matthew's Gospel, in the New Yesyament Christian Scriptures,  the necessity for a proper, authorative, Teaching Authoritysteeped in our Covenant with God.  The Israelites have the Chair of Moses to lead them, as a part of the Judaic Trasition.  We as Catholioc-Christians, have as our Teaching Authority, the Magisterium of the Church, the Holy Father the Pope, in unity with the College of Bishops forms, maintains, and guarantees, proper teaching from the Deposit of Faith.  Together as the Supreme and Chief Shepherds of the People of God, teach the  Truth, as successors of the Apostles, and followers of the Holy Scriptures and Sacred Tradition.  Therefore, we possess a guarantee in the asurance of Daith, that what is taught, and the doctrines and dogmas we are given to believe in, profess, and practice, are free from error.  As you pray, worship, minister, and ponder the meaning of the Sunday Scriptures in your own Discipleship of Christ, may you discover evermore enlightenment to embrace the Truth God is calling us to share...........In Jesus Who Is The Truth Of All Creation,   Fr.  Troy
