Father's main talk was on living a joyful life. You may listen to the whole thing minus most of the technical difficulties. Highlights include:
- Cemeteries wealthiest places on earth.
- Christian joy. Don't keep it bottled up. Man and woman of joy. Christian.
- Three reasons why the Catholic Church loses members to other versions of Christianity.
- The symbolism of the Dragon in Revelations.
- Do you lose authority if you apologize?
Father also showed a very touching video of how good can come from extreme bad. I edited it out but luckily Youtube has the same woman saying the same story and I share the video with you here.
*************************************
Father also said the mass that day and I must apologize that I did not catch it all on audio for the homily.
My notes from the missing first part:
- Invitations . Healthy spirituality eyes open.
- Speak of somebody who was sensitive .
- Observation: Fight in order to get places of honor.
- Invitation to imitate God. Take my yoke. I am meek . Come to me tired and overwhelmed.
- Christ is our model our point of reference.
The rest of the homily is here.
It was my third time in Assumption accompanying a Verbum Dei priest and I always enjoy the experience. I hope you listen to the audio.
