Listen Later

In this episode, Father Genard discusses Acts 12:19-24, focusing on the themes of humility, glorifying God, and the dangers of vain glory. He reflects on Herod’s punishment for failing to give glory to God after being praised as divine, emphasizing the importance of redirecting all honor to the Lord. Drawing parallels to modern life, Father Genard explores how hardships, like famine and loss, often bring people together to seek peace, yet questions why reconciliation often requires extreme circumstances.

He highlights the scriptural call to live peacefully with all, citing Romans 12:17-18 and Proverbs 29:5, while cautioning against flattery that enables wrongdoing. Father Genard also unpacks how true glorification of God involves both faith and good works, as stated in Matthew 5:16. Finally, he reminds listeners that God’s justice serves as a lesson for others, encouraging us to live in a way that reflects His eternal kingdom and glorifies Him through our actions.
