Deacon Robin Waters reflects on Jesus' radical call to surrender our lives for His sake and contrasts it with the modern world’s obsession with self-preservation and material success. Drawing from Genesis, he highlights humanity’s tendency to prioritize worldly ambitions over divine purpose. Jesus’ words about losing one’s life to find it challenge us to rethink what truly matters.
Deacon Robin Waters' homily reminds us of the urgent need to grow in holiness by embracing God’s truth. Like Adam and Eve, we often get tricked into believing God’s blessings aren’t enough. But Jesus teaches us in the Gospels that it’s not what’s outside of us that makes us unclean—it’s what’s inside. To truly grow in holiness, we MUST build a personal relationship with Jesus, who is the Truth.
