A Word of Hope for Wednesday of the 7th Week of Easter
In this homily, Fr. Greg Heille, OP reflects on two farewell discourses:
* Acts 20: St. Paul’s emotional goodbye to the Ephesians, urging them to "help the weak" and remember Jesus’ words: "It is more blessed to give than to receive."
* John 17: Jesus’ prayer to the Father, consecrating His disciples as He sends them into the world.
Key Themes:
✝️ The Cost of Discipleship: Like Paul facing persecution in Jerusalem, we’re called to witness "without counting the cost."
✝️ Consecration in Truth: Jesus’ prayer challenges us to live set apart for God’s mission.
✝️ Hope in Suffering: Fr. Heille connects these ancient goodbyes to our call to "walk with the weak" today.
