NUGGET OF WISDOM FROM FR. IVAN'S HOMILY

True Conversion and Obedience

Matthew 21: True obedience extends far beyond mere words of assent; it requires concrete, right actions that reflect a genuine inner conversion. Through a changed heart, a person is able to truly align with God's will. The call to inner conversion is universally extended to everyone, prioritizing humble action over hollow piety.
