In this heartfelt homily, Archbishop Sample emphasizes the profound identity of believers as beloved children of God. He begins by referencing the biblical testimony of John the Baptist, who recognizes Jesus as the Lamb of God, setting the stage for a discussion on identity in a culture that often seeks to redefine it. Archbishop Sample speaks directly to the youth, urging them to remember their true identity amidst societal pressures. He reassures them that their worth is not defined by their achievements or failures but by their inherent value as children of God. The Archbishop encourages listeners to seek purity not as a prerequisite for love but as a response to being loved by God.
