What monster are you feeding?
Beachside Homilies with Fr. Ben Berinti
Fr. Ben Berinti, a Missionary of the Precious Blood and pastor of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Melbourne, Florida, reflects on one of the greatest obstacles to living a life of faith: fear.
Drawing from Jesus’ words, “Do not be afraid,” Fr. Berinti challenges us to name the monster, stop feeding it, and trust in God’s loving care. As fear threatens to paralyze us with worry, anxiety, and uncertainty, Christ reminds us that we are beloved sons and daughters held securely in the Father’s embrace. Discover how courage grows when we surrender our fears and learn to rest in God’s presence.
