You Can Only Serve One Master

A homily for the twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year C), by Father Darrin Connall: Through our Baptism, we entered into a commitment of exclusive service to our Lord and God. However, many times we find ourselves trying to split our commitment between multiple “masters.” We remember that there is only one master, God, who leads us to life; all else leads to emptiness.

Division, Sacrifice, and Fidelity

A homily for the twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year C), by Bishop Thomas Daly: Jesus speaks of division in today’s Gospel (Lk 12: 49-53). Christ does not will this division, but it arises from the refusal to accept him. Disciples through the centuries have sacrificed much as they renounced all things opposed to Christ – including relationships. Nevertheless, we know that true unity comes from fidelity to Jesus Christ, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
