You have Christ in you. The question is, are you doing anything with that?

Fr. Dominic opens this homily with something personal. At 27 years old, Fr. Dom gave his life to Christ and could not stop taking Him everywhere: to strangers, to the workplace, to every corner of his life. That is exactly what it means to be a Christian. And most men are not doing it.

Fr. Dom breaks open the 6th Sunday of Easter readings and zeroes in on one of the most underappreciated figures in the entire Book of Acts, Philip. He is casting out demons, healing the paralyzed, and filling an entire city with joy. He goes to Samaria because that is exactly where the darkness was thickest. He does not wait for permission. He goes.

Then Peter and John show up from Jerusalem to finish what Philip started by the laying on of hands on the newly baptized and conferring the Holy Spirit. What you are watching in this first reading is the Catholic Church being built in real time. Baptism. Confirmation. The diaconate. The episcopate. All of it right there in Acts of the Apostles. The same Church you walked into this Sunday.

Here is the challenge: The most dangerous thing in the world is when good men do nothing in the face of evil. You are fully initiated. You have been baptized. You have been confirmed. You carry the same Holy Spirit that Philip carried into Samaria. The world is not waiting for a priest or a bishop to fix it. It is waiting for you. Walk out those doors and engage.
