  <itunes:subtitle>Homily from Pentecost Sunday. The greatest gift is to make yourself available. The Holy Spirit, poured out on the apostles (and the entire Church) at Pentecost would have gone to waste without the most important reality: the disciples made themselves available to be used by God for the service of the people around them.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Homily from the Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Refuse to live as salt and light, and the Father remains unknown, unloved, and unglorified.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;God trusts us with being His representatives in this world. He has made us His and He has made us good. But to what end? God has made us good for a purpose. Do we live in such a way that we have been made good for nothing?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;dl&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Mass Readings from February 9, 2020:&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Isaiah 58:7-10&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Psalms 112:4-5, 6-7, 8-9&lt;/dt&gt;
