  <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;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Homily from the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Do not underestimate what God is doing when it seems like God is doing nothing.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;There are seasons of silence, and hiddenness, and brokenness in all of our lives.

&lt;dt&gt; Isaiah 8:23-9:3&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Psalms 27:1, 4, 13-14&lt;/dt&gt;
