St. John Paul II & Trusting Jesus – Oct 22 – Homily – Fr Joseph M.

 

Fr Joseph M. gives the homily at Bloomington, IN, on Oct 22, 2024, on how important it is to realize that time on earth is a gift from God. He explains that each day is an opportunity to love, serve, and honor God, and we should always be prepared to meet Him. With this background, he reflects on the life of Pope St. John Paul II, his devotion to the Virgin Mary, his dedication to youth through World Youth Day, and his work on the Catechism of the Catholic Church. He highlights the Pope’s great example of forgiveness and strong defense of the unborn. He reminds us of the Pope's words, "Be not afraid," encouraging trust in Jesus, and his promotion of the Divine Mercy devotion. Father asks for St. John Paul II’s prayers for the Church, the nation, and all of us, so we use our time wisely to honor God.

Ave Maria!
