In this powerful homily delivered at a priestly ordination, Archbishop Aquila reflects on God’s call through the prophet Jeremiah: “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.” Drawing from Scripture, he exhorts new priests to depend on the Lord, to preach Christ alone, and to embrace the sacrifice of self-gift at the heart of their vocation. With urgency and tenderness, he reminds the faithful of their duty to pray for vocations, even as disciples are sent into a world often hostile to the Gospel. This episode offers both a challenge and a consolation—pointing us to Christ, who is faithful to his promises and who sends laborers into the abundant harvest.

What does it mean to love your neighbor? Archbishop Aquila connects Jesus's words in the good Samaritan story to the wider message seen across the Gospel readings in the past and coming weeks: God is calling us to love our enemies.
