About this episode

Fr. Chris Alar discusses the meaning of glorifying God through obedience and trust, as exemplified by Jesus on the Cross.

The Readings for Today's Homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/051926.cfm What does it really mean to glorify God the Father? Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains that glorifying God begins with obedience — not out of fear, but with the trust of a child who knows the Father loves him. Jesus reveals this perfectly on the Cross, where His total obedience opens the way for us to return to God. ★ Support this podcast ★
