Finding True Happiness – Jan 10 – Homily – Fr Michael G
Views 30
Fr. Michael M. Gauvreau gives the homily for Christmas: Saturday after Epiphany (Jan 10, 2026) on how Christians must seek radical conformity with Jesus Christ, through sanctifying grace in Baptism, and nurtured by virtues, sacraments, and prayer aligned with God's will.
Drawing on saints like Francis and Paul, Father Michael urges working out salvation amid sin's dangers, echoing John the Baptist: "He must increase, I must decrease."
Ave Maria!
