Persecution: Victorious Witness in Hard Times – Jul 09 – Homily – Fr Terrance

 

Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Jul 09, 2021, on how the persecution of the martyrs Nicholas Pick and companions underscores how we must be realistic about what to expect from peoples' response to the Gospel and be able to accept this gracefully. This is because we are here to counteract the culture of the times since we are imitating Christ who did the same and we should expect to be treated the same, but this mistreatment will be our victory.

Ave Maria!
