Homily on Jesus as the Savior – Christmas 2021

What this episode covers

In this homily on Christmas, Father Mattingly reflects on the child Jesus as our savior from sin. Sin is the greatest disease the world has ever seen, and the real joy of Christmas is that we were destined for eternal death, but God came to save us. Fr. Mattingly reflects on the question: are we satisfied with this kind of savior, one whose priority is to rescue us from sin, or do we look for a different kind of savior? Father Andrew Mattingly is a priest for the Diocese of Kansas City – St. Joseph. He is currently the associate pastor at Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish, as well as the diocesan director for young adults and campus ministry. This episode features his homily on Christmas Day, December 25th, 2021.
