St James, Tears & Rejoicing – Jul 25 – Homily – Fr Ignatius

 

Fr Ignatius gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Jul 25, 2022, Feast of St. James, on how the life of this apostle exemplifies the first reading from 2 Corinthians, "those who sow in tears will reap rejoicing," and the gospel where we are told that we will have to drink the cup of baptism that Jesus drank, but we will rejoice when we enter heaven. The brothers James and John were where the first and last apostles to die.

Ave Maria!
