Vainglory vs. Humility: A Call to Sound Doctrine - Jun 06 - Homily - Fr Bernard

Fr. Bernard M. Salter, FI gives the homily on Saturday of the Ninth Week in Ordinary Time (Jun 06, 2026), contrasting the vainglory of the scribes with the humble total trust of the poor widow who gave all she had, urging complete self-gift to God rather than mere surplus, and calling adherence to the Church's magisterium amid modern myths and self-invented truths.
