About this episode
Homily from the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord.
Jesus didn't give us the Bible. He gave us the Church. And the Church gave us the Bible.
All Christians believe in the 27 books of the New Testament. We all believe these books are the inspired Word of God based on the authority of the Church to recognize this truth and teach it. The same Church has the authority to declare the 46 books of the Old Testament as well.
June 1, 2025: Acts 7:55-60 Psalm 97:1-2, 6-7, 9Revelation 22:12-14, 16-17, 20John 17:20-26
