Entering God's Love Demands Everything | Dcn. Peter Randolph
•
St. Patrick Catholic Parish
In this homily, delivered on September 28, 2025, Dcn. Peter preaches that God is inviting us to enter into His own divine life but to enter into this life demands everything. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit hold nothing back from each other in their love, and to enter that love, we too must hold nothing back. This makes sense of the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. The rich man chose to reject God's offer of divine life and to hold back love from Lazarus, which resulted in eternal separation from God. Dcn. Peter invites us to allow the Father into whatever part of our heart is still not transformed in God's love, which is so worth it, even if it demands everything.
