Homily For The Seventh Sunday after Trinity 2025

In Micah’s prophecy, God Himself promises to shepherd His people, feed them in rich pastures, and work wonders greater than the Exodus. This vision finds its fulfillment in Christ, the Good Shepherd, who leads a mixed multitude into the wilderness, heals the sick, and miraculously provides bread for their journey. More than meeting physical needs, He conquers sin and death, offering full pardon and new life to all who believe—Jews and Gentiles alike. As Romans reminds us, we who were once slaves to sin have been set free to serve righteousness. This is the joy of the Gospel: the Lord delights in mercy and remembers His covenant forever
