Fr. Nivin’s homilies
You can read or print Fr. Nivin Scaria’s homilies at his homily blog.
Taken from Fr. Nivin’s message to us in our September newsletter:
William Arthur Ward said, ” Do more than belong: participate. Do more than care: help. Do more than believe: practice. Do more than be fair: be kind. Do more than forgive: forget. Do more than dream: work.” And Howard Zinn said, “We don’t have to engage in grand, heroic actions to participate in the process of change. Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.”
Participate, help, work. This parish needs every one of us to come alive, and the church will be alive. Transform ourselves. Transform our parish. Transform our world. If we all work together, we can transform.
God bless all!
Father Nivin
