Homily #150404b ( 14min) Play – Fr. Alan on the Easter Vigil proclaims the joyous news of the light of Christ, symbolized by the Easter Light, that He has risen from the dead and therefore has conquered our death. We participate in His death and Resurrection by the waters of Baptism which so many new Christians are receiving this night. It is though this regeneration that we achieve true freedom us from all tyranny, from outside powers and from our own disordered passions.

The post Apr 04 – Homily – Fr Ignatius: The Good News first appeared on AirMaria.com.

We went to St John the Apostle’s Church in Bloomington for the Easter Vigil Mass last night. They record their Sunday masses so we linked to their video for the homily. The below link is to the video at the point the homily begins at 42:30, but you can watch the whole mass if you want, which was very beautiful. Kudos to Abigail and Logan for the recording.

Fr. Daniel Mahan gives the homily at St John’s in Bloomington, IN for the Holy Saturday Vigil Mass where he proclaims that”This is the Night” of our salvation! He is Risen! Deo Gratias! Happy Easter!

The post This Is the Night! – Fr. Daniel Mahan Homily – Easter Vigil – St. John’s Parish, Bloomington, IN first appeared on AirMaria.com.

Fr Matthias gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Apr 08, 2023, Holy Saturday Easter Vigil Mass, on how the resurrection of Jesus was received by his disciples as surprising, good news. He lays down his life without a battle and takes it back quietly and quickly, because he was always in control. We must be amazed at the power of the resurrection to be transformed by it.

Ave Maria!
