  <description>&lt;p&gt;Homily from the Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Transition always involves destruction.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Jesus heals the man who was deaf and mute. In doing this, He was destroying something in the man’s life…his identity. Jesus has to take away the false identity in order to tell us who we truly are.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;dl&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Mass Readings from September 5, 2021:&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Isaiah 35:4-7&lt;/dt&gt;

  <itunes:subtitle>Homily from the Mass of the Nativity of the Lord (Christmas). When you and I look at the image of the baby Jesus in the manger, how would we answer the question: why is He there?</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Homily from the Mass of the Nativity of the Lord (Christmas).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Why is He there?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We have become more comfortable with the "completed" past than the unknown future. Rather than desiring to launch into the challenge of the future, many of us have become paralyzed by fear of the future. When we are rooted in the Word of God each day, we become more rooted in God Himself each day. When we are rooted in the Lord, there is no room for fear of the future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;dl&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Mass Readings from December 25, 2020:&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Isaiah 52:7-10&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Psalm 98:1-6&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;Hebrews 1:1-6&lt;/dt&gt; &lt;p&gt;John 1:1-18&lt;/p&gt;
