Feb 14 – Homily – Fr Alan: True Love – Conversion to God

 

On the day our neo-pagan culture goes ga-ga for romantic love to the point of immorality (once a religious feast dedicated to St. Valentine, bishop & martyr), three months from the Centennial of Our Lady's first Fatima apparition, the lives of Sts. Cyril & Methodius call the Church to dedicate Herself to the New Evangelization of lands & peoples that were once Christendom. The New Evangelization must begin with a personal conversion, and given the Fatima warnings, a conversion en masse.

Ave Maria!

Mass: Sts. Cyril and Methodius - Mem

1st: gen 6:5-8, 7:1-5, 10
