The Fourth Sunday After Trinity

This Sunday’s Homily reminded us that life is full of both joy and sorrow—births, weddings, and celebrations, but also tragedy, loss, and grief. St. Paul tells us that all creation groans under sin, yet we live in hope because Christ has given us new life. Like a mother in labor, the pains of this world point us to the joy of the life to come, when Christ returns to make all things new. Until then, we cling to God’s promises and share the hope that sustains us, even in the face of suffering and death.
