Nativity Homily | Bringing People Back from the Dead | Fr. Jonathan Bennett
Nativity Parish Burke
Key points of Fr. Bennett's Homily : * Fr. Bennett shares that the Mass is his “favorite thing,” a sacred moment where he partakes in and represents the death of Jesus Christ on the altar. * Sin is a “little act of death” that ruptures our relationship with God. Just as Jesus raised Lazarus, He uses the priesthood to bring us back to life through the forgiveness of sins. * God does not leave us as “dry bones” but breathes His life into us once again. * Join Us for Lenten Penance Service this Thursday, March 26, where you are invited to be “brought back to life” through the Sacrament of Confession. * Just as Jesus was moved to tears for Lazarus, come with a heart ready to be restored and vivified by the one who is “the Resurrection and the Life”.
