Summary

Homily from Divine Mercy Sunday

It is of no use to say "I believe in Jesus" and then go back to life as usual.

Faith is at the heart of our relationship with God. But our faith cannot simply be what we agree with or a mere belief. Our faith must move, act, and work. Like the early disciples, we must devote our lives to a "life of faith".
