Lifeissues is mainly concerned with publishing thoughtful articles directly related to issues raised in Evangelium Vitae. However, from the very beginning, we have also published a few related homilies, notably by Fr. Al Cariño, O.M.I., Fr. Tony Pueyo, and others.
Please use the pulldowns below to select a homily by Liturgical Calendar date.
By grace we are all adopted into God’s family.
We all have a story. The apostle Paul took up the gauntlet and challenged Rome's story that Caesar was the son of a god, the prince of peace and the savior of the world - at least for the elites - with the story of Jesus, the true Son of God, Prince of Peace, and Savior of the World for all - rich or poor, male or female, slave or free. Which story do you claim?
The mission of the father in the family is to be a channel of the love of God the Father, to dispose our children to receive that love of the Father. And the task of the children of those earthly fathers is to forgive the sins of their fathers and to honor them, even while acknowledging their flaws and imperfections.
