HOMILY OF THE 7TH FRIDAY IN EASTER — YEAR A

HOMILY OF THE 7TH FRIDAY IN EASTER — YEAR A

HOMILY THEME: LOVE GIVES ALL

BY: Fr. Isaac Awe 

Acts 25:13-21, Ps. 103:1-2,11-12,19-20, John 21:15-19

Do you love me more than these: your life, children, wife, business, house, car …?

Do we know what our aim or mission in life is? Jesus’ aim and mission was to glorify his heavenly Father through his sacrificial love like ours.

The Lord Jesus shows us that love is a personal choice and a gift freely given, it is the giving of oneself to another person for their sake. Unselfish love is oriented wholly to the good of the other person for their own welfare and benefit. John the Evangelist tells us that “God so loved the world that he gave us his only-begotten Son” (John 3:16) who took on human flesh for our sake and who died upon the cross for our salvation to set us free from the power of sin so that we might receive abundant everlasting life and peace with God.

God’s love heals and transforms our lives and frees us from fear, selfishness, and greed. It draws us to the very heart of God and it compels us to give him the best we have and all we possess: our gifts, our time, our resources, our full allegiance, and our very lives.

PRAYER: Lord, take my life and make it wholly pleasing to you. Sanctify me in your truth and guide me by your Holy Spirit that I may follow you faithfully wherever you lead. Amen.
