Скачать или смотреть From Plank to Penance | 8th Sunday of Ordinary Time | Year C

Do you want to follow Jesus? Do you want to know God’s love, be a saint, and be saved? Jesus gives us the roadmap: “Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow me.”

That’s a radical challenge in a world obsessed with comfort, self-indulgence, and instant gratification. We’re wired to chase what feels good—but Jesus warns us: “Can a blind man lead a blind man?” If we let culture, entertainment, or our own desires shape our vision, we’ll never see the truth of the Gospel. Worse still, we often fixate on the sins of others while ignoring the plank in our own eye.

This homily is a wake-up call as we enter Lent. The world has made sin invisible—but if we can’t see our sin, we can’t see God’s mercy either. Fr Sam challenges us: Are we ready to open our eyes, repent, and follow Christ? The time is now.
