02/16/20 More Than A Criminal Heart

Homily from the Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

The Sermon on the Mount reveals the truth about our hearts: we need the Law. But God wants us to be free from the Law. Not by abolishing the Law, but by making our hearts like His. We can let Him do this by taking responsibility, taking action, and taking hold of the strength He offers.
