🏃 Take One More Step: The Urgency of the Risen Christ (Fr. Mark Beard)

Father Mark Beard delivers a powerful Easter Sunday homily, emphasizing that the Resurrection is not just a historical fact, but a constant call to action and perseverance in our spiritual lives. He challenges the faithful to constantly strive for holiness, urging them to take "one more step" toward Christ every single day.

The Message of the Resurrection:
The Finish Line is Not Here: We cannot become complacent after Lent or after moments of spiritual grace. The spiritual journey continues until we reach Heaven.

The Call to Action: The Resurrection gives us the strength and the urgency to overcome obstacles and dedicate ourselves to constant self-improvement and prayer.

The Snails Made It: Father Beard often uses the humorous analogy of the snails making it onto Noah's Ark to remind us that slow, consistent perseverance will win the day—we just have to take that "one more step" and not quit.

The battle is won, but the race must be finished! Take one more step toward Christ today.
