I loved this Homily. I would liked to have heard one thing differently. I "think" I heard Fr. Jones say, at around 12 minutes, "I" can forgive sins. I personally feel that this is where other religions do not understand the Catholic Religion. I would have loved to hear him say, "through the power of The Holy Spirit, I can forgive sins." Thank you for the work of Fr.Jones and every one else that makes this pod cast available. I will pray for all of you!!!
