Being Faithful and Grateful through Good and Evil- Msgr. James Watkins Homily - Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time - Sunday, October 5, 2025

People often ask how can a good merciful God allow for all the evil in our world to happen? The apostles experienced this question, asking Jesus to increase their faith, as people of faith can understand the evil of the crucifixion which was necessary as a perfect sacrifice for our sins. Being grateful to God is how people are able to put the evil of the world into perspective, having faith that grows like a mustard seed.
