Views 62
Fr. Alan B. Maria Wharton gives the homily for the Memorial of Saint Lucy, Virgin and Martyr (Dec 13, 2025), highlighting the prophet Elijah, John the Baptist, and Saint Lucy as fearless witnesses to Christ's light of truth amid persecution and illusion.
Father calls us to prepare for Christmas by making a good confession, removing soul-shadows, and embracing the light that transforms darkness into divine vision.
Recorded at Our Lady's Chapel, New Bedford, MA.
