Being the Light in the Darkness, A Homily with Fr. Dom from the 5th Sunday of Easter

Being the Light in the Darkness, A Homily with Fr. Dom from the 5th Sunday of Easter

From the 5th Sunday of Easter (I know, I'm late!) Fr. Dom explores the concept of being attached to Jesus as the vine and the importance of remaining in Him. He emphasizes that having a relationship with Jesus is not just about being friends, but about sharing in His divine life. Fr. Dom discusses the need for transformation and renewal every day, and the power of the sacraments in grafting ourselves to the vine. He also highlights the role of baptism and confession in deepening our relationship with Christ.

Take It Away

  1. Having a relationship with Jesus is more than just being friends; it is sharing in His divine life.
  2. Transformation and renewal are necessary every day to remain attached to Jesus.
  3. The sacraments, especially baptism and confession, are essential in deepening our relationship with Christ.
  4. We are called to be the light in the darkness and to shine forth Christ to those around us.

Food for Thought

  • "For we are the branches that are attached to the vine."
  • "We have to let that sink into our minds, descend into the depths of our hearts and our souls."
  • "Don't think that's (baptism) just something you do as a baby and that's it."
