Homily for August 25th, 2019 - "Are You Playing The Odds With Your Salvation?"
Note: This week's homily is from Msgr. Gerard O'Connor, Director of the Office of Divine Worship for the Archdiocese of Portland, and in residence at Christ the King.
Key Takeaways:
::: Salvation is too important to be left to chance - to play the odds and calculate the possibilities, because it's a matter of our eternal life and death.
::: It's not just enough to have a knowledge of Jesus or to belong to the Church. We have to build a friendship with the Lord, know Him intimately, and follow His commandments.
::: God asks nothing less of us than complete abandonment, lived out each and every day as we strive to be faithful to the Lord and his commands, with perfect trust in His mercy.
