10/17/25: Standing on Sacred Ground

Friday Mass. 10.17.25. St. Ignatius of Antioch.

During my pilgrimage to Ireland, I visited the holy site where a priest once hid to celebrate Mass in secret during the Penal Laws — a place that truly felt like sacred ground. In this homily, I share how that experience, along with the witness of Saint Ignatius of Antioch, reminds us that every place we stand can be sacred when our lives are offered to God.
