Nothing Can Separate (Homily – October 30, 2025)

Thursday of the Thirtieth Week in Ordinary Time – October 30, 2025
Gospel: Luke 13:31–35

Jesus weeps over Jerusalem, longing to gather His people as a mother hen gathers her brood—but they are unwilling. In that tension between open arms and fearful hearts, we see the whole story of salvation. Fr. Korey LaVergne reminds us that nothing—not death, not persecution, not even our fear—can separate us from the love of Christ. At every Mass, the same Lord who refused to flee the cross stretches out His arms again to draw us close beneath His mercy.
