Homily given by Fr Justin on Sunday 8 June 2025.

Why Jesus Said It’s Better That He Left — Living with the Holy Spirit 

In John 16:7, Jesus tells His disciples something surprising: "It is to your advantage that I go away." Why would His physical absence be better for us? In this powerful message, Fr. Justin Uzabeaga unpacks the deep truth behind Jesus' words and invites us into a life led by the Holy Spirit. Learn how the Advocate — the Spirit of God — makes His home in us, teaches us, comforts us, and empowers us to live as true sons and daughters of the Father. If you've ever longed to hear God's voice or wondered how to truly live in His presence, this sermon will open your heart to the gift of the Holy Spirit.
