Homily from the Third Sunday of Lent.
Words mean something.
Words have power. When we call upon God to witness and be a part of our statements, they can become oaths. Oaths are essential for covenants and the stakes couldn't be higher. Every Sacrament is a covenant (or a participation in a covenant) and this means that we ought to be careful what we "say".
