Saul or Paul: Choosing Peace in a Time of Violence


Listen Later

On this Sunday after a week of national mourning and deep division, Father Geoff challenges us with a question that’s both ancient and urgent: will we wear the heart of Saul, or the heart of Paul?


Preaching on the Parable of the Lost Sheep and reflecting on the tragic political assassination of Charlie Kirk, this sermon does not take sides—it takes the side of Christ. With wisdom, conviction, and compassion, Father Geoff calls us to become instruments of peace, echoing the values of the prayer attributed to St. Francis: where there is hatred, let us sow love; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light.


What does it mean to see the face of God in someone we disagree with? How do we resist the casual cruelty of modern discourse and reclaim a spirit of holy dialogue? In a world soaked with noise, cynicism, and anger, this is a timely invitation to choose the way of mercy, humility, and transformation.


Whether you are seeking hope, healing, or simply a reason to believe in better, this sermon reminds us that Christ still seeks the lost—and still calls us to be found.
