Jul 27 – Homily – Fr Matthias: Islam and Providence

Views 2338



Homily #140727n ( 18min) Play - Father reminds us that "that all things work for good for those who love God," and that this presupposes Faith in Providence (a.k.a. God's loving plan for everything) and Love of God. As an example, Father turns our attention to the tribulation Iraqi Christians are currently undergoing and gives a short commentary on Islam and how we all can defend against it by living lives strongly founded on Christian Faith. For an example of strong and courageous faith, we can take the example of our Iraqi brethren and, in particular, the example of Patriarch Sako in his exhortation to the Christians in Iraq. Father asks us to examine ourselves, if we aren't ready to practice our faith in peace, how will we be ready when persecution comes to us?
