The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/042926.cfm Father Kaz Chwalek, MIC, teaches that trials often become the catalyst for spreading the Gospel, just as persecution drove the early disciples to new lands. He highlights the selfless witness of Blessed Hanna Chrzanowska and St. Catherine of Siena (whose feast days are today), to show how ordinary acts of love transform into extraordinary works of God. By embracing the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the Eucharist, we are invited to run the race of faith with courage, assured that our journey leads to eternal life. ⭐️ Support our Ministries: https://www.thedivinemercy.org/donate?source=pod ✝️ Explore Divine Mercy on Divine Mercy Plus! https://divinemercyplus.org/?source=pod ⛪️ Plan Your Visit to the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy! https://www.shrineofdivinemercy.org/?source=pod Follow Us on Social Media! 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/TheDivineMercy/ 🔵 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DivineMercyOfficial 【ꚠ】TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@marianfathers ★ Support this podcast ★
