  <description>&lt;p&gt;Homily from the Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Life is about losing. It is not about quitting.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;It is one thing to lose. It is another thing when those losses begin to stack up and we get to the point where we haven't just lost...we've been beaten. We can wind up feeling defeated. Into this place of defeat, God Himself speaks into our loss and our shame, telling us what is needed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;dl&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Mass Readings from October 24th, 2021:&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Jeremiah 31:7-9&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Psalms 126:1-6&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;Hebrews 5:1-6&lt;/dt&gt; &lt;p&gt;Mark 10:46-52&lt;/p&gt;
