May 19th, 2019 - St. Peter writes in 1 Peter 2 that we are to live as sojourners and pilgrims by abstaining from fleshly lusts which war against the soul. He also exhorts us to live out the new life we have been given in Christ before all of those around us. What does it mean to live as foreigners in this world? The homily explores this question and reminds us that as we detach from that which causes damage and death to the soul, and as we grow in the likeness of God, our salvation becomes Christ's offering of salvation through us to those who so still dwell in darkness.
