Religion as a Costume vs. Humility as a Crown: Authentic Faith – Aug 23 – Homily – Fr Isidore

 

Fr Isidore M. Cipres gives the homily on true faith as rooted in humility and sincerity, drawing lessons from Ruth's quiet virtue and Jesus' warning against the Pharisees' hypocrisy. Father calls us to live authentically, practice what we preach, and embrace obedience, culminating in devotion to Our Lady as a model of perfect humility.

From Our Lady's Chapel, New Bedford, MA, for Saturday of the Twentieth Week in Ordinary Time (Mass in honor of Our Lady on Saturday), on Aug 23, 2025.
