Fr. Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Mar 31 on how belonging to Christ is transformative by making us more merciful as exemplified by the father in the parable of the Prodigal Son. Sin is bad but so is judgmental attitude that leaves no room for mercy. Father extols the need avoid both extremes of sinfulness and judgmentalism by means of humility. For the sinner it is to humbly see the depths of despair that his sin has lowered him. For the non-sinner is to humbly see that we are not perfect either. The balance is exemplified by the Father who humbly recognizes when he can’t help his son but to not enable him with further aid and then joyfully extend mercy when repentance is shown.

Ave Maria!

Fr Joseph M. gives the homily at Bloomington, IN, on Oct 22, 2024, on how important it is to realize that time on earth is a gift from God. He explains that each day is an opportunity to love, serve, and honor God, and we should always be prepared to meet Him. With this background, he reflects on the life of Pope St. John Paul II, his devotion to the Virgin Mary, his dedication to youth through World Youth Day, and his work on the Catechism of the Catholic Church. He highlights the Pope’s great example of forgiveness and strong defense of the unborn. He reminds us of the Pope’s words, “Be not afraid,” encouraging trust in Jesus, and his promotion of the Divine Mercy devotion. Father asks for St. John Paul II’s prayers for the Church, the nation, and all of us, so we use our time wisely to honor God.

Ave Maria!
