True Descendants of Abraham – Apr 10 – Homily – Fr Matthias

 

In the homily for Wednesday of the Fifth Week of Lent (Apr 10), Fr. Matthias explains Jesus' words to the Jews in today's Gospel: "If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing the works of Abraham. But now you are trying to kill me" (Jn 8:39-40).

The true descendants of Abraham are those who inherit his faith and works - they are God's chosen people and heirs of His promises.

Ave Maria!
