Being a follower of Jesus for anyone – 2,000 years ago or now, is not always easy.  Both St. Peter and Mother Teresa of Calcutta knew that very well.  Let’s watch the vlog to see how they were able to serve Jesus well in spite of their challenges.  Based on the readings of 1 Samuel 3: 3-19; 1 Corinthians 6: 13-20; & John 1: 35-42.

The main focus of Fr. MD’s homily today is humility.  Why?  Both St. John the Baptist and Jesus practiced humility.  In fact, saints became holy because they understood the importance of staying humble.  Based on the readings of Isaiah 55: 1-11; 1 John 5: 1-9; & Mark 1: 7-21.
