Good Shepherd

In his homily for 4th Sunday of Easter, Year B, for Good Shepherd Sunday, Father Hanly says God Himself will be the Shepherd of our flock and we are members of that flock and everybody in this world has a right to call themselves one with the flock of God.

Why Did Jesus Wash His Disciples’ Feet?

Why did Jesus wash his disciples’ feet? In his homily for the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, Year B,  Father Hanly shows us how, by kneeling to wash the feet of his disciples, Jesus is saying, “I want you to know how important you are, how good you are, how you gleam with the wonder of God who creates you and loves you and cares for you and sends His only Son to kneel before you and tell you, no matter what you feel, no matter what others feel, you are a child of God, an heir of heaven, a beautiful person.”
