Homily for the Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Listen to the Homily

  • We live in a busy world
    • Mary set aside the busyness of the world to sit Jesus’ feet.
      • Are we willing to do the same?
      • Are we like Martha, “anxious and worried about many things”?
  • If you want to get to know someone, you spend time with them. If we want to get to know Our Lord in this life so we can know Him for all eternity, we need to spend time with Him now.
    • We believe that Jesus is truly here present in the tabernacle.
      • Not just bread that we’ve stored in a box
      • Our Lord and Savior really present Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity.
    • How often do you come to visit Him?
      • Daily?
      • Once a week?
      • When is the last time you came to the Church to adore Him, even if just for a minute or two?
  • We cannot fulfill our call to proclaim Christ unless we know Him personally.
    • “It is He whom we proclaim, admonishing everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.”
