Loosing the Faith, Step by Step – Jul 21 – Homily – Fr Ignatius

 

Fr Ignatius gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Jul 21, 2021, on how the account of the Israelis grumbling after the Lord miraculously brings them out of slavery in Egypt is an outline of the typical steps one takes in falling from the faith. These steps are:
- forgetting the miracles God has done for us
- regret that God called them from the slavery of sin
- then give up hope
- return to the slavery of sin

The remedy is prayer and an interior life where we reflect and be thankful for the miracles and gifts that God has given us.

Ave Maria!
