God Calls Us to Reform Our Ways and Deeds

In this powerful homily, Fr. Miguel reflects on the prophet Jeremiah, who was condemned by the priests and prophets of his day simply for speaking God’s hard truth. The people eventually recognized that Jeremiah was sent by the Lord and spared his life.The same pattern appears with John the Baptist, who courageously told Herod the truth and paid with his life. Fr. Miguel reminds us that the prophets always point to Jesus, who spoke the truth and died to set us free.On the memorial of St. Alphonsus Liguori, we hear the clear call: Reform your ways and your deeds. Listen to the voice of the Lord. We have only one life. Now is the time to return to Jesus and be saved.
