Homily given at the 9:00 a.m. Mass on Sunday, March 11, 2018, the 4th Sunday of Lent, by Fr. Jacques Philippe, a priest of the Community of the Beatitudes, an Ecclesial Family of Consecrated life founded in France in 1973. Fr. Jacques was at the parish to give the 2018 Parish Mission, the talks for which are posted on this website. Referring to the readings for the day, Fr. Jacques reflects on the superabundant grace available to all who turn to God with faith, hope, and love. (Fr. Jacques spoke in French. His homily was translated into English by Sr. Clare, another member of the Community of the Beatitudes.)
