William Rooney To live with the knowledge of having encountered Christ means that we realize the immensity of the task before us, because we like the blind man cannot stay silent. Part of the man’s healing was to walk through the city with mud on his eyes, and then to return healed so that all could see him. And immediately, people begin to question him. So also, as people will inevitably question any Christian with the courage to live according to the new law of Christ. If we are willing to live according to the new law of grace, we will draw many people to also encounter him. 15:27 no Catholic, faith, mass https://frwill.fireside.fm/2024-01-28 832abeb6-3218-462b-aff1-34840eb3943b Sun, 28 Jan 2024 15:00:00 -0600 Fr.

William Rooney full 2 Fr. William Rooney Are you ready? Are you prepared? Essentially, when we say we are prepared, we are saying that we are equal to the challenge which will come. But the thing is that we often do not know what the challenges will be before we face them. Mary teaches us that though we may not be able to be completely prepared, we can say yes. As a child trusts that his parents are there for him and will provide what he needs, so also, we must recognize that God is always working for the good of those who love him – even when we do not know how. This is called faith and it is an essential aspect, perhaps the most fundamental aspect of our waiting as Christians. Together moved by our faith we joyfully wait together with eyes fixed on heaven because we need a heavenly savior. Come quickly, Lord Jesus! 13:48 no Catholic, faith, mass, wait, OF, EF, B, Advent, 4
