Variety #193: Fr Ward: Do Not Tolerate the Lie

Friday, February 3rd, 2012
Father Thomas Ward
Variety #193 – Fr. Thomas Ward ( 18min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

Fr. Thomas Ward of St. Mary of the Assumption Church in Binghamton, NY, expounds on the sacred truth of the Dignity of the Human Person. This Truth is under attack on all sides by the one who is the “Father of lies” and “Murderer from the beginning.” Father Ward explains how tolerance of lies and sin ultimately leads to the destruction of human life, and the loss of souls.

He then exhorts us to respond with uncompromising truth, generous kindness, and universal charity, all of which must animate the merciful work of the Pro-Life movement.

This sermon was given for the Annual Pro-Life Prayer Service organized by the Broome County Right to Life Committee.

Ave Maria!

Saturday, January 28th, 2012

Fourth  Sunday after Epiphany

29 January 2012

 

“Why are you fearful, O you of little faith.” Mt. 8:26

Today’s gospel narrative about the storm that threatens Peter’s boat has always been a symbol of the Church being persecuted throughout history from within and without.
