04/12/26 The Next...: The Next Confession
Sunday Homilies with Fr. Mike Schmitz
Homily from Divine Mercy Sunday. It’s not about your first or last confession. It’s about your next one. The Christian life doesn’t end with a first confession, baptism, or Easter moment, it continues through the next step. What keeps love alive is not looking back, but continually returning to Christ through confession, mercy, and grace. Each “next” encounter with Jesus strengthens faith and guards against a cold heart. Mass Readings from April 12, 2026: Acts 2:42-47 Psalm 118:2-4, 13-15, 22-241 Peter 1:3-9 John 20:19-31
