9/16/26: Love Endures: The Lesson of Saints Cornelius and Cyprian
Wednesday Mass. 9.16.26. This homily explores the witness of Saints Cornelius and Cyprian, third-century martyrs who defended the Church's power to forgive those who had renounced their faith under persecution, insisting that God's mercy cannot be limited. Drawing a connection to Saint Paul's teaching on spiritual gifts, the homily reflects on how every gift in the Church—teaching, preaching, healing—is meaningless without love, since love alone endures into eternity. It closes with a reflection on how the saints' struggles across the centuries mirror our own, offering hope and purpose in the ongoing call to love.
