  <description>&lt;p&gt;Homily from the Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;What have you done with what you've been given?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;No one ever sets out to lose. But losing is entirely possible: in business, relationships, and in the spiritual life. It is possible to lose one’s soul. No one wants to lose, but many people do. Even with a great roadmap, we need regular checkpoints to make sure we are on course and haven’t gone off track.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;dl&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Mass Readings from November 15, 2020:&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Proverbs 31:10-13, 19-20, 30-31&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Psalms 128:1-5&lt;/dt&gt;
