Failure Can be a Blessing – Feb 01 – Homily – Fr John Lawrence

 

Fr John Lawrence gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Feb 01, 2023, on how the rejection of Jesus in his own home town of Nazareth is actually a sign of his being a prophet and that sometimes God uses failures to raise us up to greater holiness, and that misfortune or seeming lack of blessing is God's way of disciplining his beloved sons to grow to greater fulfilment in holiness. By turning to Mary, especially through consecration, these chastisements are much sweeter, and more fruitful.

Ave Maria!
