In this homily, Fr. Cajetan Cuddy explores the themes of salvation, the transformative power of Jesus, and the significance of confession in the Christian faith.

The discussion highlights the importance of recognizing our own sins and the boundless mercy available through confession, encouraging listeners to draw near to Christ for salvation.
