Views 2699
Fr Joseph Michael gives the homily at Bloomington, IN, on Sep 22, 2025, on how Jesus calls us to be beacons of faith, shining His light through our witness and daily actions.
In this homily, Father emphasizes that our faith as Catholics is not meant to be hidden but shared with the world as a source of light and hope. He reminds us that from the early days of Christianity, faith spread through the powerful witness of believers who lived out their beliefs openly. By our actions and example, we can inspire others to seek the peace and joy that come from Christ. Father encourages us not to be shy or afraid but to boldly share our faith, trusting that even without words, our lives can preach the Gospel.
