Views 1174



Homily #130125b ( 13min) Play - Fr. Joachim on St. Paul and his dramatic conversion and the nature of such conversion and how to bring them about in others and in our selves, beginning with a personal encounter with Christ. This leads to a recognizing of our own sinfulness and a real desire to repent. He relates in particular to the needed steps in the  less dramatic but equally miraculous conversion of the of the average cradle Catholic:

  1. Good Catechisis and Fervent reception of the Sacraments to fight against sacrilegious reception and loss of faith.

  2. Zeal to fight against Mediocrity

  3. Detachment from worldly things.

  4. Charity for others which leads to Love of God and vice versa.
