Homily Extraction - 5th Sunday of Lent (17th March 2024)
𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭: 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐈𝐧 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐬
By Fr. Paul Cheong, OFM. Cap.
To gain a place in the new world, we first had to lose our place in the old one. It is only through losses that we learn to change, adapt, and make new gains. The great loss of Jesus’ life has become the ground of our hope. It points us beyond the reality of suffering to the reality of Easter.
