Queens Church Mass Companion

2-15-23 Homily

As Catholic Christians are lights in dark places, we need to improve at telling people what we stand for. We are For the human person, For human life, For life of all God's creation at every stage of development. We are for love that expresses itself in mercy and forgiveness. We are for truth, we are for beauty, we are for goodness, we are forever.

Mass Companion - 1.29.23 Homily

This weeks reading are all connected on the issue of humility. Humility stands in contrast to pride, perhaps the deadliest of the seven deadly sins.Pride leads to the worship of material and earthly things. Pride leads to the valuing of ones selfover others and worst of all over God. Many today believe that worship of material wealth and honors and popularity bring them happiness, but we as Catholics know that it willnot. In Jesus' Sermon on the Mount he told the people to live for Heaven here on earth.  He was reminding them to look around and see that this isn't Heaven.  This world is passing away.  This world will let you down.  So, friends, we sinners will eventually fall victim to pride andall the other seven deadly sins. But Zephaniah, Paul, Jesus and the Saints and martyrs of Christian history counter all of that with the call to humility which leads to holiness which leads to true happiness because that will lead to heaven

Readings for this homily are Isiah 49:3, 5-6, 1 Cor 1:1-3, and the Gospel of John 1:29-34.
Go along with Jesus. Listen to His words and witness His actions. Not as if they were happening in a galaxy far, far away and a long time ago. Rather as if they were happening right in front of your eyes and he was speaking directly to you. The Word of God is living and effective and He is speaking through his Son to us, even still. Let us pay attention not only to see what Jesus does for us, but what he asks us to do for Him and for each other.
