Father Bradford preached this sermon at Mass on the second Sunday of Easter, April 11, 2021, at St Lawrence Church.

As Father said, ”… the process of sanctification often takes a long time in us, even for a lifetime. But even so, all our failures and sins can be overruled, if, as Thomas did, we permit Jesus to be Our Lord. The result will be to our own souls’ blessed and eternal welfare, and to the great glory of God.”
