Homily for the Fifth Day in the Octave of Christmas
We are made to love, we are not made to hate; it's not how we were created. God didn't create us in hatred, He created us in love. He didn't create us to be angry. He created us to be a gift to other people. He made us and created us in order to love and be loved in return. Tonight, think about our Blessed Mother and St. Joseph. The piercing of her heart. Ask the Blessed Mother where are the times in my life where you have suffered for me? What times in my life did your heart get pierced by the things I've done or gone through in my life. Today and every day, let us have remorse and pray to Our Lady for those areas of our life where we may have been led astray from the love Christ, so that we can love her and come to understand her heart in a deeper way.
