About this episode

Homily from the Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

God can be glorified through our wounds, not merely in spite of them.

We all experience brokenness. We all experience God's love through a broken lens. And yet we do encounter them in this way.

Mass Readings from July 7, 2024:
Ezekiel 2:2-5
Psalms 123:1-4
2 Corinthians 12:7-10

Mark 6:1-6
