Love, Not Justice - Msgr. James Watkins Homily - Sunday, December 7, 2025

Update: 2025-12-07

Description

We see most of the world as black and white, good is acknowledged, bad is punished and most religions are the same way.

In Christianity however, God doesn't owe us anything.

If Santa were loving and merciful, he would go to the land of misfit toys regardless of their defects.

Jesus is mercy he came among us into our flawed world and didn't come for the righteous, but for the sinner. Not to punish us but to redeem us out of love.

Through baptism we turn from misfits into loved adopted children of God.
