Summary

Homily from the Fifth Sunday of Lent.

There is no need to fear, but there is a need to fight.

Behind enemy lines, we find ourselves in a battle with the Enemy of God. Satan is real and Satan must be resisted. But the Catholic Christian has been given the tools to engage in the fight and thrive with the strength provided by God Himself.

Mass Readings from April 7, 2019:
Isaiah 43:16-21
Psalms 126:1-6
Philippians 3:8-14
