Fr. Joel's Homily for Mar. 29

Lent5 - Invited to Suffer With
Lent, 5th Sunday. Some Greeks would like to see Jesus. So why does Jesus talk about a grain of wheat? Because Jesus is inviting them to suffer with him, to follow him on the road to the cross. We can do this in our own way by entering into the sufferings of others, and by letting others enter into our suffering. It is through suffering that the evil one is cast out, we win victory over sin and death, and we come to see the face of Jesus. (29 Mar. 2009)
Notes: A deacon preached this weekend but I thought my homily was still interesting enough to post. Then my microphone died on me and I had to find another microphone. So I hope it is clear enough for you to understand.
