&lt;dt&gt; Baruch 5:1-9&lt;/dt&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Homily from the Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;God has an absolute claim on your heart. What is the reason you won't give it to Him?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;There is a clear difference between a reason and an excuse. Excuses are not acceptable answers, but there are times when even “good reasons” fail to be “good enough”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;dl&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Mass Readings from October 14, 2018:&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Wisdom 7:7-11&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Psalms 90:12-17&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;Hebrews 4:12-13&lt;/dt&gt; &lt;p&gt;Mark 10:17-30&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://bulldogcatholic.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/rivals-the-reason-is-the-rival-1.pdf"&gt;Download the Homily Study&lt;/a&gt;
