The sinner's need for salvation; become who you are

Ecclesia Christi Midweek

Homilies

Father Justin finds a modern parallel to Zacchaeus in the life of Taylor Swift and her latest album, using both to call us to recognize our need to be saved.

For the Solemnity of All Saints, Father Justin speaks of leaving oneself to become oneself, while Father Brendan juxtaposes the secular Halloween tradition of dressing up as someone you’re not with the Solemnity that recognizes those who became precisely who God made them to be—that is—themselves.

Articles
