Grow in Charity – Nov 11 – Homily – Fr Matthias

 

Fr Matthias gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Nov 11, 2022, on the need for practicing the virtue of charity and growing in it as outlined by Tanqueray, that it does not mean that we have to have good feelings towards others but go beyond feelings, to wish and do good for others. To love others as Christ has loved us. He relates this to compassion, suffering with others, and how when charity grows is to make sacrifices for others and even for our enemies.
