Sermon 25 September 2022 (Anniversary of Bp. Elmer Belmonte’s consecration)

A babe, or a royal priesthood? by Fr. Dana

Simple Summary:  Do you yearn to be in the presence of the Lord? Not for Him to be in you, but for you to be in His presence, in the place where He “dwells”? We too often want Him to come and live with us, but He desires for us to live with Him, to come into His kingdom. Have we matured enough to give ourselves to Him … or are we still hanging on to who we’ve been?
