Choosing Life: Returning to the Father This Lent – Feb 22 – Homily – Fr Isidore
Views 19
Fr Isidore gives the homily at New Bedford, on Feb 22, 2026, contrasting the First Adam's fall in the Garden of Eden with Jesus, the New Adam, triumphing over temptation in the desert through unwavering obedience to God.
Drawing lessons from the three temptations, he urges embracing prayer, fasting, and almsgiving for true conversion, reminding us that grace is stronger than sin as we journey toward Easter joy.
