  <description>&lt;p&gt;Homily from the Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Out of everything in life, Jesus has to be first.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In our lives, we continually divide ourselves and divide our hearts by giving away our small “yesses”. Jesus calls us to experience freedom, joy, and clarity by giving Him our big “Yes” because He is the priority.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;dl&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Mass Readings from September 8, 2019:&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Wisdom 9:13-18&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Psalms 90:3-4, 5-6, 12-14, 17&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;Philemon 9-10, 12-17&lt;/dt&gt; &lt;p&gt;Luke 14:25-33&lt;/p&gt;
