Mar 08 – Homily – Fr Benedict: St. John of God and Almsgiving

Homily #140308 ( 12min) Play – Reflecting on prayer, then fasting, and now almsgiving in Lent, we look to St. John of God whose conversion led him from serving in the military to serving God in the poor. Known for firmly carrying out his resolutions no matter how difficult, St. John’s fortitude would now help him to accomplish all his holy inspirations.
Ave Maria!
