Feb 21, 2021 - Let God Reign

Part 1 of Father Harris’ Lenten homily series, “Beloved of God: A Redemptive Relationship.”  Trust is at the heart of every loving relationship. Sin and death wounded the human condition when distrusting God led to disobeying God. The enemy of our souls continues to tempt us to distrust God. In the Gospel reading, the Lord Jesus invites us to have the right mindset to let God reign over our lives. Beloved children of God have minds that are: (1) repentant, (2) regulated by God's directions for fruitful living, and (3) renewed by God’s grace. These are not lofty goals that cannot be attained. We must not declare impossible what God makes possible through the gift of His life and love dwelling within us. Trusting in God with patience are expressions of loving God.
