The Deep Meaning of the Mass - Jan 18 - Homily - Fr Bernard

Fr. Bernard M. Salter gives the homily for the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time (Jan 18, 2026), exploring the profound biblical roots of the phrase "Lamb of God," tracing its significance from the sacrifice of Isaac and the Passover in Egypt to the suffering servant of Isaiah, revealing Jesus as the true, once-for-all atonement for sin.

Father exhorts us to adore Christ's eternal sacrifice made present in every Mass and to receive Him worthily in Holy Communion, uniting our crosses to His.

Ave Maria!
