Sent as Lambs Among Wolves: A Homily at Priestly Ordination
Update: 2025-09-24
Description
In this powerful homily delivered at a priestly ordination, Archbishop Aquila reflects on God’s call through the prophet Jeremiah: “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.” Drawing from Scripture, he exhorts new priests to depend on the Lord, to preach Christ alone, and to embrace the sacrifice of self-gift at the heart of their vocation. With urgency and tenderness, he reminds the faithful of their duty to pray for vocations, even as disciples are sent into a world often hostile to the Gospel. This episode offers both a challenge and a consolation—pointing us to Christ, who is faithful to his promises and who sends laborers into the abundant harvest.
