  <description>&lt;p&gt;Homily from the Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The fear of being inadequate is the fear that I won't be able to rise to the challenge. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Fear is a gift.  It is meant to keep us alive.  But it can also keep us from living.  There are two sources of fear are our biology and the stories we tell ourselves.  We may not be able to change our biology, but we can change the stories we tell.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;dl&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Mass Readings from February 6, 2022:&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Isaiah 6:1-8&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Psalm 138:1-5, 7-8&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;1 Corinthians 15:1-11&lt;/dt&gt; &lt;p&gt;Luke 5:1-11&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Homily from the Fourth Sunday of Lent.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;A hidden heart is a homeless heart.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The people of Israel were brought into exile. It was imposed from the outside. But after King Cyrus game them a way home, many of them chose to live in self-imposed exile. The same is true for all of us who have been exiled by our sin and slavery to death. Jesus has made it possible to step into the light and come home, but many choose to live outside the light...many of us live in self-imposed exile.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;dl&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Mass Readings from March 14, 2021:&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; 2 Chronicles 36:14-16, 19-23&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Psalms 137:6&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;Ephesians 2:4-10&lt;/dt&gt; &lt;p&gt;John 3:14-21&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://bulldogcatholic.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/to-the-heart-hidden-heart.pdf"&gt;Download the Homily Study&lt;/a&gt;
