Are We Ashamed? - Fr. Micah - March 15, 2026

In this Sunday’s Gospel reading, we hear Christ say, “For whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” In his sermon, Fr. Micah encourages us to ask ourselves, “Are we ashamed of him?” Many of us would say “no.” However, Fr. Micah also encourages us to also ask ourselves, “Are we ashamed of his words?”We are often selective of what we know and say of his words, avoiding those that we disagree with or find uncomfortable. Fr. Micah challenges us to familiarize ourselves with Christ’s words, not skipping over those that don’t sit well with us, and perhaps more importantly, to live his words.
