Sermon: No Longer I (November 10, 2019)

“It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.” That verse has always inspired me and mystified me. I hope that one day I can say that of myself as St. Paul did with confidence, having come to the place where it is true that I have become empty of self as he did and become one with Christ as we are all called to do. The more I read and meditate on the New Testament, the more I see just how central the theme of self-emptying is. It is the beginning and the end of everything. Sermon Preached by Fr.
