Homily from the Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time.

It's the least you can do.

We are made to strive. We are made to pursue the ideal. But we also need to know what the minimum is. We also need to know: What is the least I can do? (And still give the Lord access to my heart!)

Homily from the Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Do not miss your turn.

There are times in our lives when we have the opportunity and the ability to make a decision that will change the direction of our lives. Joshua issued this invitation to the people of Israel as they entered the Promised Land and we are issued the same invitation. We must decide for ourselves whom we will serve.

09/08/24 Nothing to Offer

Homily from the Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Love the person in front of you.

It is easy to walk through life and feel invisible. Like you don't matter. Like you have nothing to offer. But when we are seen by Christ, all of that has the potential to change. And then we can begin to see that we are called to love the person in front of us who has nothing to offer.
