From the 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Fr. Dom discusses the importance of community and prayer in overcoming isolation and finding strength in God. Fr. Dom touches on his experience with his latest retreat in the mountains of Colorado, emphasizing the power of prayer and fraternity. The homily explores the story of Elijah and how he found strength in God during times of isolation and despair. He encourages listeners to seek solace in prayer, the sacraments, and the covenant of baptism. Finally, Fr. Dom challenges all people to boldly proclaim the truth and stand against societal challenges.

Takeaways

  • Community and fraternity are essential in overcoming isolation and finding strength in God.
  • Prayer is a lifeline to God and can help us overcome feelings of loneliness and despair.
  • The sacraments, especially the Eucharist, provide strength and rejuvenation for our spiritual journey.
  • Baptism is a reminder of God's covenant and our identity as priests, prophets, and kings.
  • As Christians, we are called to boldly proclaim the truth and stand against societal challenges.


Food for Thought

  1. "Even though we were separated, we were still connected and they were praying us up the mountain."
  2. "A Christian alone is a Christian in danger."
  3. "Eat. Eat my flesh and drink my blood, as he says in our gospel, for you will have eternal life."
