Why Being Catholic Should Fill You With Joy – Jul 06 – Homily – Fr Ignatius

 

Fr. Ignatius M. Manfredonia gives the homily from Our Lady's Chapel, New Bedford, MA, for the Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Jul 06, 2025), on the joy and gratitude of being part of the Catholic Church, the New Jerusalem.
Despite challenges like persecution, the Church offers grace through sacraments and works of mercy to bring all souls to Christ, encouraging members to be holy examples, and to rejoice in the promise of heaven.
