Bearing Wrongs Patiently: 6th Spiritual Work of Mercy – Oct 25 – Homily – Fr Terrance

 

Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN, on Oct 25, 2022, on the 6th spiritual works of mercy, bearing wrongs patiently, as he continues his series on the works of mercy.

First, we must bear the wrongs done to s because we are Christians

This is done by keeping the focus on Christ, following Him, keeping our eyes on him

He may lead us to places that we do not want to go

John - When you are old, Peter, you will be led where you don't want to go.

Jesus set the example for not being reactionary but becoming prayerful and self-sacrificial

Many people on the internet even say we must fight as Christians all the time

But we need instead to become saints and unite with God, giving Him the freedom to work in himself. What this man does is much more effective than those who fight

Ask God to give us His patience
