  <description>&lt;p&gt;Homily from the Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The beauty is in the broken.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Too often, when we encounter our own brokenness and woundedness, we either pretend it isn’t there or we just want it to be taken away. But surrendered to God, our weakness is more than replaced and more than erased, they are redeemed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;dl&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Mass Readings from July 4, 2021:&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Ezekiel 2:2-5&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Psalms 123:1-4&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;2 Corinthians 12:7-10&lt;/dt&gt; &lt;p&gt;Mark 6:1-6&lt;/p&gt;
