Fr. Michael says in the homily today, “The heart of the Gospel is mercy.” But what does that mean in our day to day lives? How can we apply the mercy shown by Jesus in the Gospel? Watch, or read the transcript, to learn how you can live the merciful life that Jesus calls each…
Like the 72 sent out by Jesus in this Gospel, we too are sent out to spread the Good News. Fr. Michael calls us to a 3-part plan of evangelization: Prayer and Fasting, a ministry of invitation, and letting our lives be a witness to the Gospel. Read the homily transcript: We Are Sent Out…
