Recognizing Christ’s Victory During Mass – Apr 23 – Homily – Fr John Lawrence

 

Fr John Lawrence gives the homily at Bloomington, IN, on Apr 23, 2023, on how it is difficult to see the seeming bitter defeat of Jesus on the Cross as a victory, and this is dramatically spotlighted by the account of the despairing disciples on the Road to Emmaus when they encountered the risen Lord without recognizing him until he breaks bread with them. Let us also recognize that Christ is risen and victorious in every mass.

Ave Maria!
