“I’m Blessed” – Trusting God Before Lent | Fr. Pat, SDB Homily (Feb 17)

In today’s homily (February 17), Fr. Pat, SDB reflects on the Gospel where Jesus challenges His apostles: “Do you have eyes and not see? Ears and not hear?” At the Shrine, retreats often begin with a simple reminder: “How are you?” – “I’m blessed.” But do we really believe it? Fr. Pat speaks honestly about how easily we fall into worry — about health, comfort, food, the future — and forget that God has taken care of us all along. As we prepare to enter Lent, the Lord reminds us: 👉 You are blessed. 👉 Trust Me. 👉 I love you and will not abandon you. The homily also reflects on the memorial of the Seven Holy Founders of the Servite Order, whose deep devotion to Our Lady of Sorrows reminds us to turn to Mary as we begin these 40 days of Lent. As we enter this sacred season, may we grow in trust, gratitude, and confidence in God’s love. 📍 National Shrine of Mary Help of Christians Stony Point, NY 🔔 Subscribe for daily homilies and reflections. 🙏 Join us as we prepare our hearts for Lent. #CatholicHomily #FrPat #Lent2026 #ImBlessed #TrustInGod #OurLadyOfSorrows #salesians
