01/26/25 On Purpose: Off Purpose
About this episode
Homily from the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time.
You've been given a great work, and must not come down.
Since you have been made on purpose, there are two ways to live: on purpose and off purpose. But if a person has been made to be great and set apart for a purpose, why would they ever choose to live off purpose? The common culprits are distraction, forgetting, comparison, and living a shadow mission.
