Nov 19 – Homily – Fr Dominic: St Agnes Determined to Follow

Homily #101119 ( 06min) Play - Fr. Dominic preaches on the life of St Agnes of Assisi who had to renounce her family to follow her vocation, as in today's Gospel, and even resist, with the help of God, their attempts to drag her back home so that she could stay in the convent with her sister St Clare following the footsteps of St Francis. He then contrasts this marvelous zeal with today's lack of vocations.
