05/03/26 The Next...: The Next Goodbye

About this episode

Fr. Mike Schmitz discusses the importance of having an eternal perspective in understanding our purpose in life.

Homily from the Fifth Sunday of Easter. What is this in light of eternity? Our perspective either helps us see things clearly or muddies the waters. The only way forward is perspective, and not just any perspective, eternal perspective. Without eternal perspective, our hearts will never find rest and we will always be searching for our true purpose. Mass Readings from May 3, 2026: Acts 6:1-7 Psalm 33:1-2, 4-5, 18-191 Peter 2:4-9 John 14:1-12
