Fr. Nivin’s homilies
You can read or print Fr. Nivin Scaria’s homilies at his homily blog.
From Fr. Nivin’s message to us in our April newsletter:
Truly, the Holy Triduum is a big deal. It is the foundation of our faith.
The Paschal mystery — Jesus’ passion, death and resurrection — is the life of church, the essence of our belief. If it is not a big deal for us, then nothing else is.
I wish that all of us in this parish family will put aside our other activities, and make time for the Holy Triduum liturgies:
to be there with the Lord at His last supper,
keep watch an hour with Him in agony,
stay by Him as He suffers and dies on the cross,
then wait in silence for His resurrection with great anticipation.
Let us make the Triduum a big deal in our lives.
Easter blessings to you and yours!
Father Nivin
