23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
Readings: Isaiah 35: 4-7; James 2: 1-5; Mark 7:31-37
Originally delivered on September 8, 1991
We are reminded today to be open to the gifts that God brings to us that are willing to receive. Furthermore, we are called today to embrace the vision of Jesus that says that the last will be first. We hear of the hope for a newly emerging Russia in this homily, but are cautioned to remember that a narrow focus on the individual can lead astray from Jesus’s message. Let us be a liberator of others because, like Jesus, we let go of desires for ourselves.
