  <description>&lt;p&gt;Homily from the Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Indifference does not mean you don’t care; it just means you don’t care enough to move.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;There are many opportunities to waste one’s life. One of those ways is to allow one’s circle of interest to outstrip one’s circle of influence.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;dl&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Mass Readings from July 18, 2021:&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Jeremiah 23:1-6&lt;/dt&gt;
