7/23/23 Parabellum: An Enemy

ASCENSION
About this episode

Homily from the Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

The enemy can't win, he just wants you to lose.

The Church has been established by Jesus Christ Himself. And yet, the Church has sinners and sin within Her ranks. The enemy of God and humanity has done this. We need to be aware of sin in the Church and sin in our own hearts. If we stay awake and alert, we can guard against sin in the Church and in our lives.

Mass Readings from July 23, 2023:
Wisdom 12:13, 16-19
Psalm 86:5-6, 9-10, 15-16
Romans 8:26-27
