St. Nicholas (6 December): Why Your Spiritual Life Isn’t Working — And How to Start Over with God

In this powerful homily, we explore the deep spiritual lesson hidden in a simple cooking mistake—and how it mirrors the struggles we face in our Christian life. Using relatable, everyday experiences, Father reflects on how we often try to “fix” our spiritual mistakes by adding more practices, devotions, or efforts… yet the problem is not in the ingredients, but in the foundation.

Drawing from the example of a young married couple, modern cultural confusion, and the timeless witness of St. Nicholas, this sermon teaches us:

🔥 Why our spiritual life sometimes feels fruitless
🔥 How the world subtly distorts our understanding of truth
🔥 Why “starting over” spiritually is sometimes necessary
🔥 How to discern false ideas and recognize truth
🔥 How holy examples and the Gospel form a solid foundation
🔥 Why Christian community strengthens our journey toward holiness

This message is a call to renew our spiritual foundations, resist worldly pressures, and commit ourselves again and again to the path of truth. May St. Nicholas intercede for us as we grow in virtue, holiness, and courage.
