09/08/24 Nothing to Offer

ASCENSION
About this episode

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.

Mass Readings from September 8, 2024:
Isaiah 35:4-7
Psalms 146:6-10
James 2:1-5

Mark 7:31-37
