Why We're in Trouble: Stopping Short of the Gospel | Fr. Mark Beard Sermon

Father Mark Beard delivers a passionate message calling out the modern tendency towards self-absorption and spiritual laziness.

The Danger of Narcissism
Fr. Mark states that we are living in a world where everyone "stops short" with excuses like, "That ain't my job," "I'm not doing it," or "I've got too many things on my plate". He warns that "We become narcissistic, and that's why we're in trouble."

Preach the Gospel with Your Life
The core challenge posed to the faithful is: How will people know that the Church is true if we do not proclaim the Gospel when we leave the building?

The mandate is clear: "Preach the Gospel in everything you do, and only use words when you have to."

This message is a powerful call to live out your faith actively, prioritizing service and action over excuses.
