Moses, the Cross, and Why You Can’t Lose | Fr. Jones Homily for 29th Sunday of Ordinary Time
“As long as Moses’ arms were raised, the people of God prevailed.” In this 29th Sunday homily, Fr. Jones reveals how Moses’ lifted arms in Exodus foreshadow Jesus’ outstretched arms on the Cross — a timeless sign that the battle has already been won. When Moses could no longer hold his arms up, Aaron and Hur supported him so Israel could triumph. Likewise, Jesus — knowing our weakness — allowed His arms to be nailed to the wood of the Cross, ensuring they would never come down. For those who belong to Christ, you cannot lose. The only way to lose is to stop trying. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly Catholic homilies and reflections. 👉 Follow us on Instagram: / city_of_stjude Find out more about our parish: https://www.cityofstjude.org/ #CatholicHomily #29thSunday #FrJones #JesusChrist #Moses #Typology #CatholicChurch #Faith #Prayer #Crucifixion #SpiritualWarfare #CatholicPreaching #Perseverance #SundayReflection #CatholicFaith Chapters 0:00 The Power of Prayer and Support in Overcoming Challenges 2:03 The Power of Prayer and Spiritual Support in Faith 4:38 Divine Foreshadowing in Life's Story 5:40 Moses and Jesus: Eternal Victory Through Outstretched Arms 7:46 The Church's Role in Overcoming Hell's Defensive Structures 9:14 Baptism as an Entry Into Christ's Transformative Power #CatholicHomily #FrJones #JesusChrist #Moses #Typology #CatholicFaith #SpiritualWarfare #SundayHomily #Perseverance #29thSunday
