Fr. Samuel Hakeem, OP

Following the advice of 1Peter, Fr. Samuel Hakeem, OP explains the reason for our hope, even when it does not exclude suffering.

Fr. Samuel Hakeem, OP notes how Paul is constantly adapting his preaching as he goes out to different places, and asks us to think if we are adapting our own message to the people we are trying to reach, so that our own preaching can be more effective.

Fr. Samuel Hakeem, OP reminds us that God's Mercy knows no limits, because whatever we do, God will remove the barriers that keep us from his love.

Fr. Samuel Hakeem, OP reminds us that our faith in the Resurrection of Jesus rests not on our own experience, but on the testimony of 2000 years of others,

Fr. Samuel Hakeem, OP challenges us to turn to our faith when times are tough, rather than to the next popular fad, and we will find solace that transcends our current struggle, opening us up to hope built for the future.

Fr. Samuel Hakeem, OP points out that we are to expect suffering as part of our Christian journey, but that this is Good News, because the suffering will lead us to new life, both here on earth and in heaven.
