HOMELIES DE L'ANNEE C #évangile

The Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time activates perseverance within us. Despite the turmoil of a world driven by sin and marked by the persecution of the righteous, Christ will restore those who remain faithful.

We are celebrating the 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Today's Gospel begins with a word of consolation: "Do not be afraid, little flock." Many prophets throughout history have encouraged people in their misery by reassuring them of God's presence: Micah 7:14; Zechariah 3:11-18; Isaiah 41:8-14.
