Homily: The best days of our lives

Note: After much delay (which you can read about that here), I’m posting on April 4, 2025, this Sunday homily when I was as a deacon at the St. Peter Chanel Catholic Church in Hawaiian Gardens, Calif., next to Long Beach. I gave a similar homily for Easter 2022.

Centered around John 11:1-45, I gave it once on Sunday, March 26, 2023, probably at the 5 p.m. Mass. Because of Jesus, we can look up and see that these are the best days of our lives.

In the depths of our despair, Jesus speaks his words that bring life, hope and strength.

God bless.
