St. Callistus: A Pope of Mercy and Courage – Oct 14 – Homily – Fr Joseph M.

 

Fr Joseph M. gives the homily at Griswold, CT, on Oct 14, 2024, on how Jesus lamented over people's hardened hearts, noting that past generations responded to Jonah and Solomon, but now many ignore Jesus' miracles. We are called to open our hearts to God’s grace and pray for the world's conversion. Father also honored St. Callistus I, who as Pope showed mercy to sinners and cared for the dead. He called us to be courageous in our witness to Christ, like St. Callistus, even in the face of persecution.

Ave Maria!
