Why Faithful Catholics Will Be Rejected | Fr. Mark Beard

About this sermon

Have you ever been rejected because of your Catholic faith? In this unforgettable homily, Fr. Mark Beard explains that rejection is not a sign of failure—it is often a mark of faithful discipleship. Beginning with Christ's rejection in Nazareth, Fr. Beard traces the lives of the Apostles, Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus, and countless saints who suffered rejection for remaining faithful to God. With his characteristic storytelling and humor, Fr. Beard reminds us that Jesus warned His followers that they would be hated by the world just as He was. Rather than hiding our Catholic identity, we are called to publicly profess our faith, persevere until the end, and never apologize for belonging to Holy Mother Church.
