Homilies by Fr. Ken Lao, CC (Page 3)

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?

Persevere to the End

As we go through, trials there will always a temptation to jump ship. Turn to Mary; find refuge in Mary. Turn to Jesus and fix your gaze in Heaven.
