Homily from September 8th, 2019 - "Renounce Yourself"
Jesus demands a total dedication to Him alone and asks that we renounce ourselves.
If this sounds scary, that's because it is. We cling to ourselves and to our life, out of the fear that renouncing ourselves will cause us to lose everything.
But we must let go of that fear because only by renouncing ourselves do we gain everything - Jesus, God himself, the giver of Eternal Life.
