Summary

Homily from the Sixth Sunday of Easter.

Do we rely on the Bible alone?

The Church is not optional. When there is a question that is not covered explicitly in the Bible (and even when it is), where do we look for guidance?

Mass Readings from May 25, 2025:
Acts 15:1-2, 22-29
Psalm 67:2-3, 5, 6, 8
Revelation 21:10-14, 22-23
