WATCH: The Authority Only Jesus Can Give

Jesus “Gave the apostles authority,” says the Gospel for this Sunday, the 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year B.

Father Meinrad Miller OSB points out that the Church still has that authority from him … and that we each can make use of it.

Father Meinrad is a monk of St. Benedict’s Abbey and a theology instructor at Benedictine College. St. Benedict Abbey’s 60 Seconds for Sunday series looks at each upcoming Sunday’s readings.

The monks at the Abbey, along with the Benedictine Sisters at Mount St. Scholastica, are what make Benedictine College in Atchison, Kan., Benedictine.
