May 03 – Homily – Fr Elias: Confirmation, Conversion, Holy Spirit

Homily #150503b ( 18min) Play - Fr. Elias gives the homily to those who are preparing for the sacrament of Confirmation. He starts with the conversion of St. Paul as accounted in the first reading for today. He then relates this to Confirmation in that we receive the Holy Spirit in this sacrament for our conversion and we are to strive for even further conversion through our life, to grow in holiness and happiness. This is done by conforming our will to God's will and this is done by loving and obeying Him and to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. This is all to be done and made fruitful by establishing a devout prayer life.
