Healy Family Story
10th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Originally delivered on June 11, 1989
Readings: Kings 17:17-24; Galatians 1:11-19; Luke 7:11-17
A mother leaning over the lifeless body of her child, grieving beyond measure is a powerful image reflected in today’s readings. The challenge is for us to be one with the grieving mother such that our gried leads us to action. We see this grieving mother in so many present day injustices around the world. If we watch carefully, this mother’s grief turns into collective anger in protest to change the structure of society. Today’s liturgy demands that, like Paul, we must take action and raise our voices.
Easter
Originally delivered on March 26, 1989
In this homily, Fr. Healy tells us stories from past Easters, including many about his mother, and the lessons that he learned from those experiences. He reminds us that our laughter lifts us and that we might do well to take ourselves a little less seriously. We are the people called by God to bring joy and laughter to a weeping world.
