Nativity Homily | Laetare Sunday | Fr. Jordan Evans
Nativity Parish Burke
Key takeaways from Fr. Jordan's Sunday Mass homily: * This Laetare "Rejoice" Sunday marks the halfway point of Lent, reminding us that Easter is coming, and motivating us to finish the season strong. * Our faith is not just about what we do for God, but is a response to God’s personal and loving invitation to us. * Just like the man born blind, Jesus meets us in our places of suffering and "blindness" to initiate a chain reaction of faith that leads us to worship Him. * We are challenged to avoid the Pharisees' example. They refused to believe they had any room to grow and therefore rejected Jesus. * In these final three weeks of Lent, let us make a thorough examination of conscience and go to Confession to bring our "deeds of darkness" into the light of God's love.
