Views 22
Fr Joseph Michael gives the homily at Bloomington, IN, on Jun 21, 2025, where he emphasizes detachment from worldly anxieties, trust in God’s providence, and the pursuit of holiness, exemplified by St. Aloysius Gonzaga’s life of purity and devotion.
Father teaches that our primary goal is to seek holiness and heaven, trusting in God’s providence rather than being anxious about worldly things, as inspired by St. Paul’s endurance through suffering and St. Aloysius Gonzaga’s life. He highlights St. Aloysius, a young Jesuit who embraced purity and devotion to Mary, showing that true greatness lies in holiness, not status, and encourages youth to follow his example in living for God.
