The Day in the Liturgical Calendar

2 Thess. 2:1-16, Lk. 14:25-27

The broadcast is dedicated to the Irish playwright and novelist Seán O'Casey. Due to poor eyesight, he never went to school and learned to read and write on his own. He wrote his first plays in the 1920s. The play "The Shadow of a Gunman" was followed by "Juno and the Paycock" and "The Plough and the Stars." All the three plays are dedicated to the national liberation struggle of the Irish people. In all these works, the most important thing is the depiction of the heroic spirit of most insignificant and humble people.

Sin is an act against God's law. A human living in sin is isolated from the living presence of God. The etymology of the word “evil.” The symbolism of Christ's blood. Jesus Christ is at the basis of the activities of apostles and prophets.
