Audio sermon for today. The non-discriminatory policy as it applies to creed has given us the foundation for a true lack of charity with the illusion of respect and love of our fellow men. The demons are rejoicing in this. If we are truly striving to please God and live virtuously then we must expect attacks from these demons. Temptations are not a sign that we are failing but rather a sign of our progress. The greater the temptations the closer we must be approaching the goal of the love of God. Do not be disheartened by your temptations and failings, but get up and strive even more. Take courage God's grace is sufficient for us. 

 Audio Sermon for today, the Fourth Sunday in Lent. We are children of the Promise. Let us rejoice. Be not envious of the apparent successes of the children of the slave girl (the children of the world). If we realize our inheritance we will no longer fear or dread the sacrifices necessary to obtain Heaven. We can even rejoice in our sacrifices. 

Bishop Giles, OFM
