Homily on 2-4-24

Being a Christian is not a spectator sport.  We're part of a team.  True, sometimes we're injured in one way or another.  Job and Simon's mother-in-law certainly were.  But after receiving the graces they needed, neither stayed on the sidelines and watched.  They both got right to work and resumed being a contributing member of God's family.  Can you also say that you've used your gifts and talents to their fullest after receiving God's strength to use them?

 

Thanks to Fr. Jim Bergin, SVD, for presiding in Fr. John's absence!  Fr. John is away recovering from shoulder surgery and is expected to return in time for the First Sunday of Lent.  Please pray for his speedy recovery and give thanks for the priests serving us in the meantime!
