Homily from the Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time.
You can choose to be limited by fear or motivated by gratitude.
Fear can be a great motivator. But it is also something that drains us of life. Humility is essential for a joyful life. In order to grow in humility, one simply must choose gratitude. A person cannot be fearful and grateful at the same time.
