Father Luke shares how following Jesus can sometimes seem unusual or “crazy” to the world. But the Holy Spirit is always with us, helping us make good choices, live in love, and stay close to God—whether in big moments or just ordinary everyday life. Even when others don’t understand our faith, God sees our hearts and guides us. Living boldly for Jesus means trusting Him, even when it feels strange or challenging.

On the Day of Prayer for the Respect and Protection of Human Life, this homily reflects on King David’s choice to spare Saul’s life, reminding us that a heart close to God chooses life. In a world marked by violence and a culture of death, the Blessed Mother’s message at Fatima calls us back to prayer, conversion, and peace. This homily offers hope, reminding us that change begins with conversion of heart, mercy is always possible, and every human life is a precious gift in God’s eyes.

The homily reflects on a delicate but important topic—standing up for the dignity of human life while never forgetting the mercy of Jesus. Through personal experiences at the March for Life and years of pro-life ministry, we are reminded that the pro-life message is not about anger or judgment, but about love, compassion, and hope. Even in the face of deep wounds and difficult choices, God’s mercy is always available. Looking to the message of Fatima, this reflection calls us back to prayer, sacrifice, and trust that God can change hearts.
