Often we here hallmarks in our faith but rarely do we explain the inner-logic of them. For instance, we know that a Bronze Serpent was raised in the wilderness, and this healed the Israelites. But why did God choose this image to be a vehicle of healing? Why does the prophet teach us that by Christ's wounds we are healed? What type of healing are we discussing?

This week, Fr. Bester, the Pastor of Holy Name of Mary, St. Joseph, and Immaculate Conception Parishes was gracious enough to record his homily for our parish community. I'm grateful for his words of wisdom on this week's readings, which offer us great Hope.
