02/24/19 Love Yourself

Homily from the Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time.

You are loved most when you deserve it the least.

Jesus calls us to love our enemies. But how can we do that when we don’t even love the people we like? When we often don’t effectively love ourselves?

Homily from the Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Homily from the Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time.
