Homilies by Fr. Ken Lao, CC (Page 2)

Life After Death

Many people are uncomfortable thinking about their own mortality. As Christians, we know the truth, that there is life after death. Fr. Ken reminds us that we are in this world, but not of this world. Do not get distracted by this life because we have an eternal destiny that God has promised us.

Strength in Weakness

If we were given the choice between strength and weakness, many of us would choose strength; that is because society has conditioned us to believe that we must always be strong to be accepted. In this talk, Fr. Ken explains how he was able to overcome struggles with mental health by accepting his weakness and allowing God to be his strength.

Prayer of the Lowly

We know that prayer is an essential component of our faith life, but why do we struggle to pray? Remember the acronym A.R.R.R.: Acknowledge, Relate, Receive, Respond.

Service

What are we doing with the time talent and treasure that the Lord has given us? Are we using it just for ourselves or are we giving it to others?

Persevere and Finish Strong

Let’s run with perseverance the race that is set before us. Let us pray for the grace to do this every day. We need to do this every day so that we can say, “I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith.”

What Will be Your Response?

When we follow Jesus it won’t be easy. There is a cost. But, it’s worth it. We will experience the fullness of life, peace, and joy. This is a foretaste of what Heaven looks like. When we hear the voice of the Lord, what will be your response?
