Turn to the Example of a Sinful and Scandalous Saint!When we feel like there is no hope for our lost loved ones and no amount of prayers seem to work, Fr. Chris Alar gives us an inspiring lesson and example in St. Monica and St. Augustine.  

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/022726.cfm Father Chris Alar, MIC, begins by reminding us that forgiveness is often misunderstood. He explains that we are called to let go of resentment, not to forge a friendship with the one who harms us. Forgiveness, he says, releases the heart from hatred while leaving space for justice.
