Homily/The Peace That Is God’s Gift

Post by Denise » Mon Jan 01, 2024 7:58 am

Note: Pope Benedict XVI, who died a year ago yesterday, gave this homily (slightly shortened here) on January 1, 2013, the last New Year’s Day of his papacy.

Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales

a beautiful homily as expected
such profundity

i miss Pope Benedict's addresses and homilies yet take comfort that with social media and the books i have one can transport oneself into his story and telling so brilliantly

May he rest in eternal peace and pray for us
"He who followeth Me, walketh not in darkness." sayeth the Lord
