Homily Rewind from St. Margaret Mary Church

Do you want to rise with Christ in the newness of eternal life? Fr. Walsh tells us, that how we live our lives today is what determines what happens to us in the next life.

On Palm Sunday we hear the proclamation of the Passion of Christ. Fr. Walsh then tells us our attitude must be that of Christ and we must try to humble ourselves and be obedient to our God especially during this upcoming Holy Week.

Jesus is a forgiving Jesus. Fr. Shenoy tells us the purpose of Lent is to look at our lives and to see what we need to change, the best way to begin this change is the Sacrament of Reconcilliation.

Jesus is the Resurrection! Fr. Walsh talks about Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead, and he stresses that Baptism is the beginning of the new life that Jesus promises with Him in heaven.

God's desire is for anyone who is fallen away to come back to Him. Deacon Dave tells us we are all God's children and are all worthy of His forgiveness.

Everyone needs a fresh start. Deacon Tommy tells us that there is an unconditional love from our Father, and all we need to do is approach Him with a contrite heart, and He will run to us.

Jesus is the light of the world. Fr. Walsh tells us we need to look at ourselves and our faith commitment and continue to look up towards the light of Christ.

We are not called to be self-centered but to be God-centered. Fr. Shenoy tells us in order for us to do this we need the grace of God through conversion and the Sacrament of Reconciliation. View our confession schedule: https://stmargaretmary.org/sacraments/confession-schedule

When we receive the Eucharist, Jesus is fully present to us. Fr. Walsh asks us the question "Are we fully present to Him?"
