About this episode

Fr. Mike Schmitz discusses the importance of hope and how it is tested through affliction in his homily for the Sixth Sunday of Easter.

Homily from the Sixth Sunday of Easter. Hope that is not tested is hope that cannot be trusted. How do we grow in hope? Saint Paul tells us: through affliction that leads to a new level of trust in the God who loves us. Mass Readings from May 10, 2026: Acts 8:5-8, 14-17 Psalm 66:1-3, 4-7, 16, 201 Peter 3:15-18 John 14:15-21
