The Lord Permits Troubles for Our Sanctification - Feb 01 - Homily - Fr Bernard

Fr. Bernard M. Salter gives the homily from Our Lady's Chapel, New Bedford, MA, for Saturday of the Third Week in Ordinary Time (Feb 01, 2025), in which he corrects the erroneous conception that. because we put our faith in Jesus Christ, we should expect a life free of suffering, trials, and tribulations. Drawing on the example of the Blessed Virgin Mary as the example of perfect faith in Christ, Father identifies the truly Christian (Marian!) attitude toward difficulties in our life of serving God, and finds the meaning of such trials the Lord permits us to experience.
Ave Maria!
