Overcoming Fear: Example of the Beloved Disciple – Dec 27 – Homily – Fr Michael
Views 38
Fr. Michael M. Gauvreau gives the homily for the Feast of Saint John, Apostle and Evangelist (Dec 27, 2025), honoring St. John the Apostle as a unique martyr who faithfully stood by Jesus at the foot of the Cross, and survived being dipped in boiling oil.
By imitating the beloved disciple's trust in God's supernatural grace, we can overcome all fear and find the strength to face the darkness in our own lives.
