April 23, 2017, Second Sunday of Easter
Homily by Father Joseph Pearce, C.O.

Father asks regarding the 1st and greatest commandment: "Thou shalt love the Lord your God with all your heart..." Father asks if our attitude towards family love? Do we live in peace with our brothers and sisters at St. Mary, and the rest of our community? Is the Eucharist the center of our life? Do we long for the body and blood of Christ more than other things of life? Do we believe it is the body and blood of Christ? The early Christian community expected God to answer their prayer.
