Homilies about self-discipline

Why Self-Discipline is Key to Spiritual Growth and Evangelization

The homily emphasizes that spiritual growth, much like financial success, largely depends on self-discipline and patience. The priest connects Jesus' call to enter through the narrow gate with self-discipline, suggesting it makes individuals more spiritual and attractive to others seeking deeper conversion. He also interprets 'not throwing pearls before swine' as meeting people where they are in their faith journey, rather than lowering the bar for sacred practices like the Eucharist.
