Homilies about self-respect

Bishop Zarama: Don't Be a Cheap Copy – Embrace Your God-Given Masterpiece

Bishop Zarama

The homily, delivered during a Confirmation Mass, encourages the candidates to embrace their true selves as masterpieces of God's creation, rather than seeking to be cheap copies of others. It emphasizes the importance of listening to God and one's own heart, finding one's true vocation, and having the courage to face life's challenges with love and self-respect. The Bishop also advises parents to be parents, not friends, to their children, providing the love and guidance they truly need.
