Have you ever wondered why we celebrate the Sabbath on Sunday?
Have you asked yourself, what does Jesus mean when he says, “Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfill them.” (Mt 5:17) And why does this new covenant change the Sabbath? “…This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.” (Lk. 22:20)
Today, Fr. Mike delves into the scriptural roots of the Sabbath and why we as Catholics celebrate it on Sunday and not Saturday as the Jewish people still do today.
