God’s Law Is Knowable, Doable, and Brings Joy – Jul 13 – Homily – Fr Ignatius

 

Fr. Ignatius M. Manfredonia gives the homily from Our Lady's Chapel, New Bedford, MA, for the Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Jul 13, 2025), on how God's law is not only knowable and written in our hearts through natural law, but also entirely doable—bringing both joy in this life and eternal happiness in the next.

Drawing on Moses, St. Thomas Aquinas, and the Gospel dialogue with the scholar of the law, Father underscores that holiness is a matter of choosing love and obedience daily. Our Lady is the perfect model and intercessor for this path of total love and fidelity.

Ave Maria!
