In this homily from the 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Fr. Ricardo Pineda, CPM, stresses the importance of being willing to give up or sacrifice all that we have, practicing radical self-denial and detachment from created things, in order to enter the eternal joy of Heaven after death and to enjoy the foretastes of Heaven offered by higher levels of prayer and spiritual growth, even during our life on earth. May God bless you all for your viewership!

The Congregation of the Fathers of Mercy, which was founded in 1808, originally under the title of “The Missionaries of France.” The community was founded for the purpose of re-evangelizing the people of France after the Catholic Faith had been subjected to years of attacks and persecution during the French Revolution. It is now exclusively an American community. The Generalate of the Congregation is located in Auburn, Kentucky. The primary apostolate of the Fathers of Mercy is to conduct parish missions and retreats throughout the United States and other countries when called upon. The Congregation also staffs rural parishes in the Archdiocese of Louisville, Kentucky.

    Great homily, I never hear anything about the reality of hell from the pulpit anymore. People come to mass so lackadaisical these days; dressed as if going to Walmart, talking, texting, etc. Can’t leave their phone in their car for even an hour. Sad. God gives us 168 hours every week and He only wants one of them from us, but many can’t leave the world outside for that hour. Would love to hear more of this catechesis from the pulpit, maybe a homily about being properly disposed to come to mass. If we were going to meet or go to dinner with our favorite celebrity or maybe some dignitary, I’m sure we would be on our best behavior and dressed nice. Yet, there is Jesus in the tabernacle and we treat Him like an afterthought. Keep preaching the truth, even when it’s not popular. Thank you.

    Wow, what a powerful homily!!!! A lot of food for thought. Thank you:).
  • One of the best homilies I have heard . Thank you so much. I have been a recipient of many miracles and I am forever grateful.
  • @AveMaria1917
    I accept, because God the Father is hurt when people don't generously return His love and accept His goodness and I just couldn't bear that.
  • @bobbates7343
    Well that was a good sermon . I like that the priest speaks in his normal voice instead of a special oration voice .
  • This is such a good homily. Countless prayers for you Father. May God bless you and your works abundantly!

    I needed this today! I was trying to motivate myself to stop habits like sugar and bread. As much as I love sugar and bread, I got the message! I love God more than sweets and bread. This parable will be my reminder when I’m tempted to eat a cookie. 💖🙏💐
  • I love how Father admitted to never reading the entire bible, he is so humble and good! ❤
  • @SAVIOUR7able
    Thank you Fr. For your spirit filled homily and especially speaking on St.Joseph's intercession for a house.
  • Catholic I am not, but a recent loss has thrust me into reality. To hear someone speak of the real world brings Hope to my heart. Thank you
