ASCENSION
About this episode

Homily from the Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

What does a"win" look like?

There are times when we accomplish our goals...and then we still feel that there ought to be something more. There are times when "winning" is just as empty as "losing". In those moments, we have the opportunity to step back and ask what we are shooting for. These are the moments we can ask "what does a 'win' look like?"

Mass Readings from August 11, 2024:
1 Kings 19:4-8
Psalms 34:2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9
Ephesians 4:30—5:2

John 6:41-51
