Homily - We Are Rich in the Ways of the World

Galatians 6:11-18

St. Luke 18:18-27

 

Today Fr. Anthony uses the Apostle Paul's call for a "new creation" instead of a fulfillment of the Law to help us evaluate the man's challenge to the Lord.  Along the way, he shares the meaning of the commandments in the "new creation" and uses the metaphor of mountain climbing to help us understand Christ's call to give everything up and follow him.  He notes that we are rich in worldly ways, making it as hard for us to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven as the camel getting through the eye of a needle.  He forgot to turn on his microphone before the actual homily, so he recorded this reprisal on the drive home. Enjoy the show!
