@YAJUN YUAN lol He gives an hour lecture about it. Did you listen to the video??? You don’t have to agree but that’s a pretty thorough explanation of reasons. As in it’s not arbitrary but has reasoning behind it.
@YAJUN YUAN 6 days labor and on the 7th rest (sabbath). We start working on Monday and on the 7th we rest, worship, go to mass for the breaking of the bread.

Beautiful explanation. I really love the last remark about if you'd have the chance to spend an hour every week with a loved who has passed away. Who wouldn't run for that? We should run to be with Jesus every chance we get. Of course it all starts with love. Do you love Jesus so much that you long for Him in the Eucharist? Every catholic should ask this question of him/her self.
This is truly wonderful done. Remember to though that we are not allowed to participate in anyone else's work on Sunday because otherwise we share in The Guilt of their sin and profit from it. That means no shopping, no eating out at restaurants for entertainment, no cinemas, no theme parks another thing where people are working unnecessarily unless it of course is something like doctors or nurses or police or people that work to keep the electricity going or public transport eccetera...... otherwise we profit from their sin, we rob them of their ability to rest, and we share in The Guilt of what they are doing..... remember, no business is going to open on Sunday unless they know there is profit to be made..... but it was spective of that even if we participate in their sin then we share it...... I always do my best to do all this, and when I do go out on Sundays I will take a packed lunch with me with ingredients purchased the day before or throughout the week..... where there is a will there is a way :-) how much do we love Jesus?
You're putting too much on people. Catholic teaching allows eating out on Sundays, and so on, and also allows working on Sunday to support oneself and one's family. Article 2187 specifically talks about people working in restaurants, professional sports, and providing various societal services (like gas stations, phone companies, etc.) being legitimate activities on Sunday. But it's true that we should strive to avoid making other people work on Sundays.
This is overly scrupulous. We have no way to judge whether the person has or has not fulfilled their obligation, say with a sat mass and rest or a noon to noon situation. Nor do we know if that person is a Christian, though we wish they were, and if not has no obligation. This is specifically in relation to the sin of a Christian not spending the sabbath with the Lord. The person no doubt has other sins but we don't participate with people's sins just because we interact with them. Just like if you give money to a beggar and they spend it on booze, you're not responsible, though you can be prudent. I think it's wonderful for you as an extra penitential act to forgo those things on Sunday, but you're not necessarily sinning for eating out or something.
I am a Christian now but my path was from Sikhism/ Hinduism/Buddhism. I find these lectures and many others on Christianity very interesting. We all know that there were many prophets but only Jesus is the truth in whom is the full Godhead. The prophets were messengers/ servants of God but were human beings like you and me sometimes getting things wrong ( Even Paul wasn’t sure at times ). Lord Jesus even said that the scriptures spoke of Him and pointed to Him. The scriptures cannot give you life but you have to come to Him.If you want answers- stop looking to men for they can be mislead. Look and seek The Lord for answers. He knows our heart and knows the answers we are looking for. It is not through our own knowledge that we will gain understanding but that which The Lord reveals to us through our relationship with Him. God bless you all 🙏

That is the correct reason to go. The church schools us in our obligation to worship God according to God’s instruction ; He must be so pleased when we go because we want to show Him our love.
When you were a Protestant, you didn't have to. The Sunday obligation is a matter of Canon law, and only claims power over Catholics who are under the jurisdiction of Canon law. In divine law (the only law Protestants are under), there is no strict grave requirement to attend a worship service every Sunday.

Oh my! I'd never considered that in His death, He kept Shabbat! And it was a high Shabbat occurring as it did during Pesach. That's amazing. Thank you, Dr. Pitre. 🙏
Thank you Dr Pitre. This has truly strengthened my faith, esp in attending Sunday Eucharistic celebration....God bless you & inspire for doing this to keep the faith.
Dr. Pitre, you are amazing! This brought tears to my eyes, because I see and feel the Holy Eucharist in a clearer light! Blessings and peace on to you and yours!
I love this video. The closing part did it for me. Thanks Dr. Pitre. Rushing to adoration now and then attending mass to received Jesus in the Eucharist right after.
Thankyou for this explanation of Sunday being the Holy day for Catholics. I say this because some Christians say Catholics changed the rules from Sabbath rest to Sunday. When I returned to Catholicism I told myself I'll honour Jesus's Sabbath after all its what the Commandments says. I still do. But now I've heard your presentation I no longer feel guilty for going to the Virgil mass on Saturdays. Having a strong faith in Jesus and a longing for the Holy Eucharist led me back to Catholicism. Your lecture has made me right with God. I thank you for this.
the catechism and Bible both show that they did, in fact, tamper with the Lord's day, the 7th day Sabbath. Christians will keep the Sabbath, even in Heaven to come -- catholicism teaches error.
Thank you so much Dr Pitre for explaining & teaching how impt the Sunday obligation into our lives and to emphasize how impt to Love God & love our neighbor
Soo perfect and complete lecture of why we go to mass on Sunday. More power to you Dr. Brant Pitre the church needs people like you and thank you for this video more power to this channel as well.☑
Great presentation. Very informative. One of the biggest errors that the Bishops did was lift the Sunday obligation during covid. You could go to malls but not Church. This attributed further to the decline of attendance once it was lifted.... if it has been lifted.
a very good day to all, esp our brother in Christ, dr. brant pitre! thank GOD for sending you to our lives. just a point of clarification, sir. at 20:11 of the video, it is supposed to be Acts of the Apostles 20:7-10 and not 19. just a typo, im sure, but for the sake of the viewers/listeners. GOD bless us all and more of your teachings about our Catholic faith dr. pitre. :)
Beautiful explanation! Had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Pitre at a seminar in Riverside, Ca. Dr. Michael Barber, Jesse Romero and Dr. Scott Hahn were there as well.
@YAJUN YUAN did Jesus give all authority to the apostles? Yes. He even told them, whoever hears you hears me and who rejects you rejects me. So it is on the authority of the apostles, who we see in scripture, that the early church gathered on the first day, Sunday. Paul, also an apostle, said not to let Seventh Day Adventists (actually he said ANYONE) judge you regarding sabbaths and new moons. You should infer from Paul’s command that you should not be judging others regarding sabbaths and new moons as well. I’ve seen enough of your posts to know you will not be swayed by reason, but in case you cause someone to stumble, maybe this response will edify him in the ancient faith of the church Jesus built.

Attending a Catholic Mass is like being invited to The Last Supper with Jesus Christ and His apostles. Jesus said the first Mass & told them to continue His offerings until He returns. Receiving Jesus In Holy Communion is the most beautiful, powerful & intimate union we can have with Him on earth. At the Consecration, God opens Heaven & gives Himself to us. He said He is the living bread, the bread He gives us is His FLESH, unless we eat His Body & drink His Blood, WE WILL HAVE NO LIFE IN US.If we eat & drink of Him, then He will raise us up on the last day. If we do unworthily, we are LIABLE & BRING A SENTENCE AGAINST OURSELVES FOR NOT DISCERNING IT TO BE THE BODY & BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST. Jn 6:51-59, 1Cor11:23-29
In Jewish tradition, the new day started at evening. Jewish Shabat is Friday evening to Saturday evening. Jewish believers met Saturday evenings, the first day. Acts 20:7 Notice Paul spoke through the night (which is why the boy fell out the window), then Paul came in and broke bread.

That is Saturday night they break bread. The day according to the Bible start in the evening. Paul was going to travel that a need. That is nothing changing God's law.
I'm a former Seventh-day Adventist who converted to Catholicism in December of 2020. While Dr. Pitre offered a really good explanation on why Catholics keep the Lord's Day holy, I am quite sure that Adventists who will watch this video will remain unconvinced. That's because Dr. Pitre's presentation is not "apologetic". The biggest hurdle is the shift from Jesus honoring the 7th-day Sabbath, to the early Church honoring Sunday. This doesn't compute in an Adventist mind who would demand scriptural reference for such a change. In Acts 20.7, the Church gathered on the 1st day of the week, but the purpose was explicitly stated: it's Paul's last day in Troas. They weren't gathered to celebrate the Resurrection Day. The day of collection in 1 Cor. 16.2 is also not an evidence for a regular Sunday meeting. There could have been different reasons why collections happened on the 1st day of the week, and the instructions of Paul is local to the Corinthian church. For an Adventist applying the principle of Sola Scriptura, there's nothing here to support Sunday observance. It was a long journey for me to discern why the Catholic Church's teaching on the Sabbath/Sunday issue is actually "Apostolic". It needs a paradigm shift! This shift is about asking the right questions. Instead of asking "what is Biblical", I now ask "what is Apostolic". You may ask "how can we know what's Apostolic if we don't figure out what's Biblical?". The pitfall in simply asking "what is Biblical" is that we tend to interpret the Bible personally with an incomplete context. The New Testament wasn't primarily written for the modern "us". It was written for the first century Christians who had the benefit of having the oral teachings of the Apostles as context to understand the written teachings. Therefore, without this fuller view of the Apostle's teachings, we can arrive at all sorts of "biblical" interpretations. The evidence for this is the Protestant world. Just look at how many denominations there are with different "biblical" doctrines. Asking "what is Apostolic" is all about understanding how the early Church understood the doctrines of the Apostles. It takes into account the writings of the earliest Christians that were not included in the New Testament Canon. We can't arrive at Sunday observance without using the witness of the 2nd generation of Christians. Adventists use Sola Scriptura to justify the rejection of the writings of the early Church Fathers on this issue. So if I really want to reject Sunday observance, I could, using all the reasons Dr. Pitre provided in the first half of his presentation on why keeping the Sabbath is important. But to find out the truth of the matter, we must expand our paradigm. But expanding our paradigm will eventually lead to Catholicism, and that's very scary for Adventists.
Often the Catholic explanation is centered on why Sunday is the day of worship, and nothing about why we are no longer to rest and refrain from work on Saturday. Why wouldn't the early Christians (and eventually Catholics today) have observed mass and instituted the day of obligation on the Lord's day, but still lived up to the requirement of Saturday as a day of rest? Keep the Sabbath, and also have the weekly Mass requirement on Sunday.
There is actually a scripture verse that might convince a 7th-day adventist, if he/she is willing to see Sunday as the "New Sabbath": It is Therefore do not let anyone condemn you in matters of food and drink or of observing festivals, new moons, or sabbaths. These are only a shadow of what is to come, but the substance belongs to Christ. Colossians 2:16-17 NRSV-CI. I have asked an SDA these questions about this verses: 1. Why did St. Paul write this about the Sabbaths? 2. Why did St. Paul group the Sabbath with dietary (food and drink) laws and festivals? Afterall the other two are not in the 10 commandments? 3. "The Sabbaths (plus festivals and dietary laws) are a shadow of what is to come. The substance belong to Christ." It is as if St Paul is implying that the main essence of these particular laws and festivals are in Christ. So what did he mean by "what is to come"? I am yet to get a satisfactory answer from one SDA on these questions concerning Col 2:16-17. Maybe there is someone here that would like to give an answer on this that might support the SDA doctrine.
Welcome Home my dear 💕brother, God our Father loves us, He don't want to lose any of us, like as;Jn 10: 16. Please pray for each other n for those who refuse to acknowledge Jesus as Lord n Saviour of this world. Amen
Thank you so much Dr. Pitre, yesterday (Sat. evening) I was struggling to explain to some people the seriousness about missing Sunday mass and I do not have much to tell but now I will go and find them and tell them that I have more to tell, if they are in bed I will wake them up.. haha just joking but I am excited to tell them more. I will give them all that I have learned from you today. Thank you so much and God loves you.
UPON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, THE DISCIPLES CAME TOGETHER TO BREAK BREAD, PAUL CAME AND PREACHED UNTO THEM, READY TO DEPART ON THE MORROW, AND CONTINUED HIS SPEECH UNTIL MIDNIGHT. (ACTS 20:7)
Dr Brandt, why was the first days and the eight days in the old testament significant? Also referred as the High Sabbaths? Were they kept in the shadow to point at the resurrection? Or to set light on the creation, first fruit and Lords Day?

It was between sunset, just after the Sabbath ended and midnight, which to me is indication that they JUST got done keeping the Sabbath and they waited until sunset when it was officially the first day (Sunday) to work on the meal so they weren't working on the Sabbath. More evidence is that scriptures here clearly state that Paul would be travelling all the next day (all day Sunday) which is why they stayed up so late until midnight to spend time with him. Scripture clearly tells us not to travel outside of our city on the Sabbath, so the fact that Paul was travelling on Sunday proves he didn't think it was a special Sabbath day at all. This scripture is solid evidence that they kept the seventh day Sabbath and worked on Sunday. *****Acts 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. --Paul as a JEW--would NOT have traveled the next day! He would have had to pay his fare-----baggage handlers would have handled his baggage. Others working for him. ALL forbidden on the Sabbath!
What I have trouble accepting is that if I attend holy mass 4 or 5 days a week (and most weeks I do), I am still obliged to go to mass on Sundays. I have some social anxiety so daily mass is ok because generally there aren’t so many people there. But Sunday mass has almost a party-like air. Often, it’s not very reverent and many people dress in an inappropriate way. I definitely feel uncomfortable in the atmosphere created by the folks that go to holy mass on Sundays. They’re my brothers and sisters, of course, and I love them as such. But that doesn’t mean I have to like them when all are gathered in a big crowd. Also, there’s a particular version of the Gloria that’s sung at the English mass on Sundays that sounds to me like a jingle for a commercial, and I feel like I’ve just being kicked in the gut whenever I hear it. It is so adverse, I feel, to the worship owed to Our Lord. I absolutely deplore the tune applied to the words of the Gloria. I do try to keep the Sabath holy even if I do not go to holy mass. Sadly, there’s no TLM near me.
In the new testament, so what verse did Jesus reiterate explicitly state HIS/MY commandments to keep the Sabbath for Gentiles/Christians? Does HE want Christians to be identified as the devout sabbath-keeping Jesus-killer and deniers of HIS resurrection Jews? Isn't all sabbath-keeping male Jews required to be fore-skin circumcised?

“Perhaps the boldest thing, the most revolutionary change the Roman Catholic Church ever did, happened in the first century. The holy day, the Sabbath, was changed from Saturday to Sunday… was chosen, not from any directions noted in the Scriptures, but from the Church’s sense of its own power…” --The Catholic Mirror, September 1893 "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:32)

The early church gathered on Sunday after they kept the sabbath (Saturday) which is a perpetual covenant.. Beware putting traditions of men over the commandments of Yah ! The almighty !!!
Justin Martyr, First Apology 67 "But Sunday is the day we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God, having wrought a change of darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Savior on the same day rose from the dead." Do you see any mention of this being after keeping the sabbath? Let's keep going: Eusebius, "They DO NOT CARE about observing Sabbaths, NOR DO WE." (Church History 1, 4:8) "Stand aloof [uninvolved, uninterested etc.] From all observance of Sabbaths and from calling any indifferent meats common or unclean" (Catechetical Lectures 4:37)

Hello Dr Pitre. Great presentation, as usual. I've been following your Bible Typology topics on the Catholic Productions UA-cam channel for almost a year now, and regularly share them with my family, relatives and friends thru my online Gospel Reflection Viber and Messenger groups. They know you as my favorite Biblical scholar. Quick question, sir. You used John 6:53-56 as a vital justification for the Sunday Mass obligation. The way I interpret this very familiar passage is that it's crucial to eat His flesh and drink His blood by receiving Holy Communion regularly, if we are to continue to have life in us and have eternal life. If that's the case, why do you think is the Catholic Church only requiring Holy Communion once a year, and not every Sunday Mass obligation?
That's a good question. I wonder about that too. Also why does the church require confession at least once per year❓ 🤔 If someone deliberately misses Sunday Mass ⛪then returns, she cannot receive Communion🍞🍷 unless she first goes to Confession and repent of her grave sin , receive absolution, and perform the prescribed penance.🙏📿 If anything we really should be receiving the Eucharist 🍞🍷daily if it's truly the body and blood of Christ, and, as such, our true spiritual nourishment. Outside of Lent or personal penitential fasting and abstinence, we wouldn't normally go without eating 🍽and drinking🍷 for 6 days and only eat and drink on one day of the week. If we did this on a regular basis we would, at some point, become malnourished, dehydrated, ill and eventually die, because we need food and water to live. How much more so do we need spiritual food and drink to truly live... I opine there are thousands upon thousands of Catholics in the 🌎world who are spiritually malnourished; myself included. Lord have mercy. Christ have mercy. Lord have mercy.
@@euphratesjehan Excellent question, if you study the Festivals of God, specifically Yom Kippur, the day of Atonement, a once a year observation required by God, you will see the root of the answer. It's important we don't reject the mercy of God. Blessings upon you.
@@euphratesjehan Daily Mass is a true blessing upon those who are able to partake. Perhaps that is why God allowed churches to be closed, to increase our hunger and thirst for Him.
@@euphratesjehan Confess to a priest? Why? Who can forgive your sins? A priest? Is God the only one who can forgive sins?

👍🏼😄 logic. Seems to me they argue about the day, Saturday or Sunday? Friday evening to Saturday evening, or Saturday evening to Sunday evening? and other ridiculous arguments- what calender are you using?😄🤣
@@killianmiller6107 And by fulfilment you mean, not applicable anymore? Let us be reminded that the Sabbath was NOT instituted in the ten commandments but from beginning of creation for ALL humans (Genesis 2, ver. 2-3), the Jews were merely being reminded to continue keeping it holy. '...REMEMBER the Sabbath day to keep it holy..'(Exodus 20, ver. 8-9)
The Sabbath commemorates God’s day of rest on the 7th day; the Lord’s Day commemorates Jesus’s resurrection, the breaking of bread, and an anticipation of the world to come. This is because Jesus rose on a Sunday, on which he broke bread with the apostles on the road to Emmaus, and God began creation on the first day (though the lord’s day is often called the 8th day). It is more fitting tI worship on this day than the day Jesus “rested” after dying. Colossians 2:16-17 tells us that sabbaths are no longer binding on the Christian faithful. Of course a day of rest is written on our hearts so to rightly order our lives to God and avoid a worship of money, however the specific time of it has been fulfilled in the Lord’s Day and perhaps even in the person of Jesus himself.
@@killianmiller6107 On more than one occasion, Yeshua clearly stated the length of time he will spend in the grave; just to mention two here, Matthew 12 vs. 40 and John 2 vs. 19. In ALL the occasions, He clearly made it known to be three days and three nights, therefore, a Friday afternoon/evening crucifixion to Sunday morning resurrection DOES NOT in anyway add up to three days and three nights; where did/does Roman Catholicism get this doctrine from? Certainly not from the scriptures. Yeshua was crucified and buried on Passover day (14 Nisan; in the Jewish calendar), a day which precedes an annual Sabbath called the first day of the unleavened bread or a high Sabbath (high day). In the year of His death, 31 A.D, this Sabbath fell on a Thursday which means he was crucified and died on Wednesday, 14 Nisan. By the time His burial was complete, the high Sabbath drew on, Luke 23 vs. 54, thus the burial was completed on Passover day (preparation day), shortly before sunset (which marks a new day among the Jews). On this high Sabbath, Thursday (not Saturday), the Pharisees approached Pilate to seal and guard the Yeshua's tomb, Matthew 27 vs. 62-66. In Mark 16 vs. 1 scripture records what happened on Friday after the high Sabbath was passed and the women bought spices to anoint Him. In Luke 23 vs. 56, the women returned to prepare the spices and rested on the seventh day Sabbath (Saturday) according to the commandment. On the first day of the week, Sunday, very early in the morning, Luke 24 vs. 1, the women went to anoint Yeshua's body and discovered the tomb empty where two angels informed them in verses 4 to 6 that Yeshua was 'already' risen. Mark 16 vs. 2 states that the women were there present at the tomb at rising of the sun, meaning Yeshua arose before sunrise. John 20 vs. 1 also states that Mary Magdalene arrived there while it was yet dark and found the tomb stone rolled away. This correct and true narrative confirms exactly what Yeshua had foretold and not what Roman Catholicism teaches. If Yeshua's prophecy about His death and resurrection is correct as foretold in the book of Daniel 9 vs. 26-27, it then means He died on a Wednesday and arose at end of Sabbath on Saturday; three days and three nights, '...as He had said...' Matthew 28 vs. 6. In Colossians 2, Saul (Apostle Paul) was addressing Colossians and giving them specific advice, I do not suppose you will take Saul's advice over God's law, will you? Also note what this same chapter says in verse 8, 'See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ.' This seems to be what Roman Catholicism is doing here and in so many other key doctrines. Lastly, is there any other of God's commandment which has been 'voided' by Yeshua? If not, why this one and what is so special with it? A commandment is not a choice or negotiable.
Curious does going to a non-catholic church ( eg a baptist church nearby) fulfill your obligation of going to Mass ( not going to Catholic Mass on Sunday).
Dr. Pitre is such an engaging speaker and one of my favorite Bible scholars. I could listen to him all day. Great lecture Dr. Pitre!

Beautiful explanation. I really love the last remark about if you'd have the chance to spend an hour every week with a loved who has passed away. Who wouldn't run for that? We should run to be with Jesus every chance we get. Of course it all starts with love. Do you love Jesus so much that you long for Him in the Eucharist? Every catholic should ask this question of him/her self.

@@mitchellosmer1293tell that to francis😮
This is truly wonderful done. Remember to though that we are not allowed to participate in anyone else's work on Sunday because otherwise we share in The Guilt of their sin and profit from it. That means no shopping, no eating out at restaurants for entertainment, no cinemas, no theme parks another thing where people are working unnecessarily unless it of course is something like doctors or nurses or police or people that work to keep the electricity going or public transport eccetera...... otherwise we profit from their sin, we rob them of their ability to rest, and we share in The Guilt of what they are doing..... remember, no business is going to open on Sunday unless they know there is profit to be made..... but it was spective of that even if we participate in their sin then we share it...... I always do my best to do all this, and when I do go out on Sundays I will take a packed lunch with me with ingredients purchased the day before or throughout the week..... where there is a will there is a way :-) how much do we love Jesus?
You're putting too much on people. Catholic teaching allows eating out on Sundays, and so on, and also allows working on Sunday to support oneself and one's family. Article 2187 specifically talks about people working in restaurants, professional sports, and providing various societal services (like gas stations, phone companies, etc.) being legitimate activities on Sunday. But it's true that we should strive to avoid making other people work on Sundays.
This is overly scrupulous. We have no way to judge whether the person has or has not fulfilled their obligation, say with a sat mass and rest or a noon to noon situation. Nor do we know if that person is a Christian, though we wish they were, and if not has no obligation. This is specifically in relation to the sin of a Christian not spending the sabbath with the Lord. The person no doubt has other sins but we don't participate with people's sins just because we interact with them. Just like if you give money to a beggar and they spend it on booze, you're not responsible, though you can be prudent. I think it's wonderful for you as an extra penitential act to forgo those things on Sunday, but you're not necessarily sinning for eating out or something.
I am a Christian now but my path was from Sikhism/ Hinduism/Buddhism. I find these lectures and many others on Christianity very interesting. We all know that there were many prophets but only Jesus is the truth in whom is the full Godhead. The prophets were messengers/ servants of God but were human beings like you and me sometimes getting things wrong ( Even Paul wasn’t sure at times ). Lord Jesus even said that the scriptures spoke of Him and pointed to Him. The scriptures cannot give you life but you have to come to Him.If you want answers- stop looking to men for they can be mislead. Look and seek The Lord for answers. He knows our heart and knows the answers we are looking for. It is not through our own knowledge that we will gain understanding but that which The Lord reveals to us through our relationship with Him. God bless you all 🙏

When I was a Protestant I didn’t know you had to go to church every Sunday. I’d go because I loved being at church ❤
So which is better?
That is the correct reason to go. The church schools us in our obligation to worship God according to God’s instruction ; He must be so pleased when we go because we want to show Him our love.
@@gregorylaw5290? Huh?
When you were a Protestant, you didn't have to. The Sunday obligation is a matter of Canon law, and only claims power over Catholics who are under the jurisdiction of Canon law. In divine law (the only law Protestants are under), there is no strict grave requirement to attend a worship service every Sunday.

Thank you for your explanation of Sunday Obligation. I appreciate it now whereas before I had a problem with the word “obligation.”
I love this video. The closing part did it for me. Thanks Dr. Pitre. Rushing to adoration now and then attending mass to received Jesus in the Eucharist right after.
Word. Very illuminating deep dive into the theological basis for the Sunday obligation.
Acts 20:7 scripture shows they gathered on the first day from the very beginning.

Really great explanation. Yes, Jesus is really present in body and spirit in the Eucharist. Thanks Dr. Pitre for inspiring all of us.
Thank you for your time and knowledge, it is worth more than a million dollars, may God bless you all the days of your life.
Thankyou for this explanation of Sunday being the Holy day for Catholics. I say this because some Christians say Catholics changed the rules from Sabbath rest to Sunday. When I returned to Catholicism I told myself I'll honour Jesus's Sabbath after all its what the Commandments says. I still do. But now I've heard your presentation I no longer feel guilty for going to the Virgil mass on Saturdays. Having a strong faith in Jesus and a longing for the Holy Eucharist led me back to Catholicism. Your lecture has made me right with God. I thank you for this.
the catechism and Bible both show that they did, in fact, tamper with the Lord's day, the 7th day Sabbath.
Christians will keep the Sabbath, even in Heaven to come -- catholicism teaches error.
Yes, it is always permissible to do good.🙏🏼

One of the biggest errors that the Bishops did was lift the Sunday obligation during covid. You could go to malls but not Church. This attributed further to the decline of attendance once it was lifted.... if it has been lifted.

Beautiful explanation! Had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Pitre at a seminar in Riverside, Ca. Dr. Michael Barber, Jesse Romero and Dr. Scott Hahn were there as well.
@YAJUN YUAN did Jesus give all authority to the apostles? Yes. He even told them, whoever hears you hears me and who rejects you rejects me. So it is on the authority of the apostles, who we see in scripture, that the early church gathered on the first day, Sunday.
Paul, also an apostle, said not to let Seventh Day Adventists (actually he said ANYONE) judge you regarding sabbaths and new moons.
You should infer from Paul’s command that you should not be judging others regarding sabbaths and new moons as well.
I’ve seen enough of your posts to know you will not be swayed by reason, but in case you cause someone to stumble, maybe this response will edify him in the ancient faith of the church Jesus built.

Attending a Catholic Mass is like being invited to The Last Supper with Jesus Christ and His apostles. Jesus said the first Mass & told them to continue His offerings until He returns. Receiving Jesus In Holy Communion is the most beautiful, powerful & intimate union we can have with Him on earth. At the Consecration, God opens Heaven & gives Himself to us. He said He is the living bread, the bread He gives us is His FLESH, unless we eat His Body & drink His Blood, WE WILL HAVE NO LIFE IN US.If we eat & drink of Him, then He will raise us up on the last day. If we do unworthily, we are LIABLE & BRING A SENTENCE AGAINST OURSELVES FOR NOT DISCERNING IT TO BE THE BODY & BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST. Jn 6:51-59, 1Cor11:23-29
Yes. Our Parish has Mass both on Saturday evenings and Sundays
Thank you Dr Pitrie, Please to explain the Saturday evening vigil which fulfills Sunday obligation Thankyou
In Jewish tradition, the new day started at evening. Jewish Shabat is Friday evening to Saturday evening. Jewish believers met Saturday evenings, the first day. Acts 20:7 Notice Paul spoke through the night (which is why the boy fell out the window), then Paul came in and broke bread.
What's the Catholic view on the sabbath?

That is Saturday night they break bread. The day according to the Bible start in the evening. Paul was going to travel that a need. That is nothing changing God's law.

Saturday Is The Sabbath
And water is wet.
And I attend the Saturday Vigil Mass, celebrated at sundown. So I guess I keep Sabbath also❤
I'm a former Seventh-day Adventist who converted to Catholicism in December of 2020. While Dr. Pitre offered a really good explanation on why Catholics keep the Lord's Day holy, I am quite sure that Adventists who will watch this video will remain unconvinced. That's because Dr. Pitre's presentation is not "apologetic". The biggest hurdle is the shift from Jesus honoring the 7th-day Sabbath, to the early Church honoring Sunday. This doesn't compute in an Adventist mind who would demand scriptural reference for such a change. In Acts 20.7, the Church gathered on the 1st day of the week, but the purpose was explicitly stated: it's Paul's last day in Troas. They weren't gathered to celebrate the Resurrection Day. The day of collection in 1 Cor. 16.2 is also not an evidence for a regular Sunday meeting. There could have been different reasons why collections happened on the 1st day of the week, and the instructions of Paul is local to the Corinthian church.
For an Adventist applying the principle of Sola Scriptura, there's nothing here to support Sunday observance. It was a long journey for me to discern why the Catholic Church's teaching on the Sabbath/Sunday issue is actually "Apostolic". It needs a paradigm shift! This shift is about asking the right questions. Instead of asking "what is Biblical", I now ask "what is Apostolic". You may ask "how can we know what's Apostolic if we don't figure out what's Biblical?". The pitfall in simply asking "what is Biblical" is that we tend to interpret the Bible personally with an incomplete context. The New Testament wasn't primarily written for the modern "us". It was written for the first century Christians who had the benefit of having the oral teachings of the Apostles as context to understand the written teachings. Therefore, without this fuller view of the Apostle's teachings, we can arrive at all sorts of "biblical" interpretations. The evidence for this is the Protestant world. Just look at how many denominations there are with different "biblical" doctrines. Asking "what is Apostolic" is all about understanding how the early Church understood the doctrines of the Apostles. It takes into account the writings of the earliest Christians that were not included in the New Testament Canon.
We can't arrive at Sunday observance without using the witness of the 2nd generation of Christians. Adventists use Sola Scriptura to justify the rejection of the writings of the early Church Fathers on this issue. So if I really want to reject Sunday observance, I could, using all the reasons Dr. Pitre provided in the first half of his presentation on why keeping the Sabbath is important. But to find out the truth of the matter, we must expand our paradigm. But expanding our paradigm will eventually lead to Catholicism, and that's very scary for Adventists.
Some good points. Thank you for your explanation. Hope those Adventists see this. Btwn, you are welcome home brother
@@danielmarai1005 Thank you Daniel. I am home.
Often the Catholic explanation is centered on why Sunday is the day of worship, and nothing about why we are no longer to rest and refrain from work on Saturday.
Why wouldn't the early Christians (and eventually Catholics today) have observed mass and instituted the day of obligation on the Lord's day, but still lived up to the requirement of Saturday as a day of rest?
Keep the Sabbath, and also have the weekly Mass requirement on Sunday.
There is actually a scripture verse that might convince a 7th-day adventist, if he/she is willing to see Sunday as the "New Sabbath": It is
Therefore do not let anyone condemn you in matters of food and drink or of observing festivals, new moons, or sabbaths. These are only a shadow of what is to come, but the substance belongs to Christ. Colossians 2:16-17 NRSV-CI.
I have asked an SDA these questions about this verses:
1. Why did St. Paul write this about the Sabbaths?
2. Why did St. Paul group the Sabbath with dietary (food and drink) laws and festivals? Afterall the other two are not in the 10 commandments?
3. "The Sabbaths (plus festivals and dietary laws) are a shadow of what is to come. The substance belong to Christ." It is as if St Paul is implying that the main essence of these particular laws and festivals are in Christ. So what did he mean by "what is to come"?
I am yet to get a satisfactory answer from one SDA on these questions concerning Col 2:16-17. Maybe there is someone here that would like to give an answer on this that might support the SDA doctrine.
Welcome Home my dear 💕brother, God our Father loves us, He don't want to lose any of us, like as;Jn 10: 16. Please pray for each other n for those who refuse to acknowledge Jesus as Lord n Saviour of this world. Amen

I will give them all that I have learned from you today. Thank you so much and God loves you.

I believe it's Acts 20:7... I looked at 19:7 and that was not the same verse. In any case, Dr. Brant Pitre is the best!!!

---------"What does the Bible say about the Sabbath as Saturday?
; Mark 1:32.) We should observe the seventh day of the week (Saturday), from even to even, as the Sabbath of the Lord our God. Evening is at sunset when day ends and another day begins.
******Acts 20:7---Eating a meal together
Also notice WHEN they had their meal. It was between sunset, just after the Sabbath ended and midnight, which to me is indication that they JUST got done keeping the Sabbath and they waited until sunset when it was officially the first day (Sunday) to work on the meal so they weren't working on the Sabbath. More evidence is that scriptures here clearly state that Paul would be travelling all the next day (all day Sunday) which is why they stayed up so late until midnight to spend time with him. Scripture clearly tells us not to travel outside of our city on the Sabbath, so the fact that Paul was travelling on Sunday proves he didn't think it was a special Sabbath day at all.
This scripture is solid evidence that they kept the seventh day Sabbath and worked on Sunday.
*****Acts 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
--Paul as a JEW--would NOT have traveled the next day! He would have had to pay his fare-----baggage handlers would have handled his baggage. Others working for him. ALL forbidden on the Sabbath!
Speak to Jesus going down into the earth on the Saturday please.
What I have trouble accepting is that if I attend holy mass 4 or 5 days a week (and most weeks I do), I am still obliged to go to mass on Sundays. I have some social anxiety so daily mass is ok because generally there aren’t so many people there. But Sunday mass has almost a party-like air. Often, it’s not very reverent and many people dress in an inappropriate way. I definitely feel uncomfortable in the atmosphere created by the folks that go to holy mass on Sundays. They’re my brothers and sisters, of course, and I love them as such. But that doesn’t mean I have to like them when all are gathered in a big crowd.
Also, there’s a particular version of the Gloria that’s sung at the English mass on Sundays that sounds to me like a jingle for a commercial, and I feel like I’ve just being kicked in the gut whenever I hear it. It is so adverse, I feel, to the worship owed to Our Lord. I absolutely deplore the tune applied to the words of the Gloria.
I do try to keep the Sabath holy even if I do not go to holy mass.
Sadly, there’s no TLM near me.
I am still not convinced. I rest on Sabbath but go to Mass on Sunday.
I think so too. Thats why we have a weekend with Saturday and Sunday not at work.
"IF YOU LOVE ME, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS" - John 14v15

In the new testament, so what verse did Jesus reiterate explicitly state HIS/MY commandments to keep the Sabbath for Gentiles/Christians?

“Perhaps the boldest thing, the most revolutionary change the Roman Catholic Church ever did, happened in the first century.

Thank you for wonderful lecture
At 38:00 then why isn’t receiving the Eucharist every Sunday an obligation like attending Mass is?? Why is it only obligatory only once a year??
Because you could have committed a mortal sin and thus cannot receive it without confession.
I’m afraid I’m overwhelmed by the number of thins the church requires of us. With my mental illness I can’t keep up.
45:00 wow, masterful doublespeak. Sabbath day switch-a-roo
The early church gathered on Sunday after they kept the sabbath (Saturday) which is a perpetual covenant.. Beware putting traditions of men over the commandments of Yah ! The almighty !!!
Justin Martyr, First Apology 67
"But Sunday is the day we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God, having wrought a change of darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Savior on the same day rose from the dead."
Do you see any mention of this being after keeping the sabbath? Let's keep going:
Eusebius, "They DO NOT CARE about observing Sabbaths, NOR DO WE." (Church History 1, 4:8)
"Stand aloof [uninvolved, uninterested etc.] From all observance of Sabbaths and from calling any indifferent meats common or unclean" (Catechetical Lectures 4:37)

Hello Dr Pitre.
Great presentation, as usual.
I've been following your Bible Typology topics on the Catholic Productions UA-cam channel for almost a year now, and regularly share them with my family, relatives and friends thru my online Gospel Reflection Viber and Messenger groups. They know you as my favorite Biblical scholar.
Quick question, sir. You used John 6:53-56 as a vital justification for the Sunday Mass obligation. The way I interpret this very familiar passage is that it's crucial to eat His flesh and drink His blood by receiving Holy Communion regularly, if we are to continue to have life in us and have eternal life. If that's the case, why do you think is the Catholic Church only requiring Holy Communion once a year, and not every Sunday Mass obligation?
That's a good question. I wonder about that too.
Also why does the church require confession at least once per year❓
🤔
If someone deliberately misses Sunday Mass ⛪then returns, she cannot receive Communion🍞🍷 unless she first goes to Confession and repent of her grave sin , receive absolution, and perform the prescribed penance.🙏📿
If anything we really should be receiving the Eucharist 🍞🍷daily if it's truly the body and blood of Christ, and, as such, our true spiritual nourishment.
Outside of Lent or personal penitential fasting and abstinence,
we wouldn't normally go without eating 🍽and drinking🍷 for 6 days and only eat and drink on one day of the week.
If we did this on a regular basis we would, at some point, become malnourished, dehydrated, ill and eventually die, because we need food and water to live.
How much more so do we need spiritual food and drink to truly live...
I opine there are thousands upon thousands of Catholics in the 🌎world who are spiritually malnourished; myself included.
Lord have mercy.
Christ have mercy.
Lord have mercy.
Acts 20:7 Scripture shows us they gathered on the first day from the very beginning, to "break bread," aka Passover/ Communion.
@@euphratesjehan
Excellent question, if you study the Festivals of God, specifically Yom Kippur, the day of Atonement, a once a year observation required by God, you will see the root of the answer. It's important we don't reject the mercy of God. Blessings upon you.
@@euphratesjehan
Daily Mass is a true blessing upon those who are able to partake. Perhaps that is why God allowed churches to be closed, to increase our hunger and thirst for Him.
@@euphratesjehan Confess to a priest? Why? Who can forgive your sins? A priest?
Is God the only one who can forgive sins?
Only Jesus can forgive sins. “Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins” (Hebrews 9:22). Only Jesus shed blood for us by dying on the cross and since he was the only one who was sinless (1 Peter 1:19/2:22
A priest is a mere man---a sinfull person.
It's it permissible to mow my lawn on Sunday? What if I pray the rosary while doing it?
rosary is different from mass
How can men claim that this one commandment has been done away with when they admit that the other nine are still binding?
👍🏼😄 logic. Seems to me they argue about the day, Saturday or Sunday? Friday evening to Saturday evening, or Saturday evening to Sunday evening? and other ridiculous arguments- what calender are you using?😄🤣
Perhaps not done away with but fulfilled
@@killianmiller6107 And by fulfilment you mean, not applicable anymore? Let us be reminded that the Sabbath was NOT instituted in the ten commandments but from beginning of creation for ALL humans (Genesis 2, ver. 2-3), the Jews were merely being reminded to continue keeping it holy. '...REMEMBER the Sabbath day to keep it holy..'(Exodus 20, ver. 8-9)
The Sabbath commemorates God’s day of rest on the 7th day; the Lord’s Day commemorates Jesus’s resurrection, the breaking of bread, and an anticipation of the world to come. This is because Jesus rose on a Sunday, on which he broke bread with the apostles on the road to Emmaus, and God began creation on the first day (though the lord’s day is often called the 8th day). It is more fitting tI worship on this day than the day Jesus “rested” after dying. Colossians 2:16-17 tells us that sabbaths are no longer binding on the Christian faithful. Of course a day of rest is written on our hearts so to rightly order our lives to God and avoid a worship of money, however the specific time of it has been fulfilled in the Lord’s Day and perhaps even in the person of Jesus himself.
@@killianmiller6107 On more than one occasion, Yeshua clearly stated the length of time he will spend in the grave; just to mention two here, Matthew 12 vs. 40 and John 2 vs. 19. In ALL the occasions, He clearly made it known to be three days and three nights, therefore, a Friday afternoon/evening crucifixion to Sunday morning resurrection DOES NOT in anyway add up to three days and three nights; where did/does Roman Catholicism get this doctrine from? Certainly not from the scriptures.
Yeshua was crucified and buried on Passover day (14 Nisan; in the Jewish calendar), a day which precedes an annual Sabbath called the first day of the unleavened bread or a high Sabbath (high day). In the year of His death, 31 A.D, this Sabbath fell on a Thursday which means he was crucified and died on Wednesday, 14 Nisan. By the time His burial was complete, the high Sabbath drew on, Luke 23 vs. 54, thus the burial was completed on Passover day (preparation day), shortly before sunset (which marks a new day among the Jews). On this high Sabbath, Thursday (not Saturday), the Pharisees approached Pilate to seal and guard the Yeshua's tomb, Matthew 27 vs. 62-66. In Mark 16 vs. 1 scripture records what happened on Friday after the high Sabbath was passed and the women bought spices to anoint Him. In Luke 23 vs. 56, the women returned to prepare the spices and rested on the seventh day Sabbath (Saturday) according to the commandment. On the first day of the week, Sunday, very early in the morning, Luke 24 vs. 1, the women went to anoint Yeshua's body and discovered the tomb empty where two angels informed them in verses 4 to 6 that Yeshua was 'already' risen. Mark 16 vs. 2 states that the women were there present at the tomb at rising of the sun, meaning Yeshua arose before sunrise. John 20 vs. 1 also states that Mary Magdalene arrived there while it was yet dark and found the tomb stone rolled away. This correct and true narrative confirms exactly what Yeshua had foretold and not what Roman Catholicism teaches. If Yeshua's prophecy about His death and resurrection is correct as foretold in the book of Daniel 9 vs. 26-27, it then means He died on a Wednesday and arose at end of Sabbath on Saturday; three days and three nights, '...as He had said...' Matthew 28 vs. 6.
In Colossians 2, Saul (Apostle Paul) was addressing Colossians and giving them specific advice, I do not suppose you will take Saul's advice over God's law, will you? Also note what this same chapter says in verse 8, 'See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ.' This seems to be what Roman Catholicism is doing here and in so many other key doctrines.
Lastly, is there any other of God's commandment which has been 'voided' by Yeshua? If not, why this one and what is so special with it? A commandment is not a choice or negotiable.
Curious does going to a non-catholic church ( eg a baptist church nearby) fulfill your obligation of going to Mass ( not going to Catholic Mass on Sunday).
Nope
I've learn so much in this video than I have in the past 12 years going to my former Christian Congregation🙏
