December 20: "O Clavis David"

O KEY OF DAVID, and Sceptre of the House of Israel, who opens and no man shuts, who shuts and no man opens: COME, and bring forth the captive from his prison, he who sits in darkness and in the shadow of death.

MCITL 10th Anniversary: The Catechism and Scriptures together in the Sunday homily

"The integration of elements of the Catechism of the Catholic Church with the readings from the Lectionary offers us an opportunity to demonstrate how the Word of God is able to animate our personal and communal life with Christ and, at the same time, articulate the Church’s faith that has been immeasurably enriched by the living tradition of twenty centuries."
-- Archbishop Donald Wuerl, intervention at the Synod of Bishops on the Word of God
