About this listen
Listeners are doubly blessed this week! We've put the 4pm Saturday Vigil Mass homily and the 9am Sunday Mass homily in a combined recording as one episode. Fr. Chuck told very different stories in the Saturday homily compared to the Sunday versions, and he encourages Saturday Mass participants to hear what the Sunday Mass participants heard, and vice versa. An interlude of about 8 seconds of silence separates the homilies, with the 9am version starting at the 14-minute-and-20-second mark in the recording.
Father Chuck's homilies center on the meaning of today's Gospel Acclamation, "Let the Peace of Christ control your hearts;..." His stories show that Jesus brings us peace in both the practical and spiritual ups and downs of life. His peace makes us a new creation, although He sometimes needs to wrestle with us to do so, as we are "stubborn clods of clay".
