Why Your Soul Matters More Than the World, Homily 30th August, 22nd Sunday of Ordinary Time
“What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?”
The whole world is not enough.
Because you were made for more than the whole world.
You were made for God.
The soul outweighs the world, Homily, 29th August
“What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?”
We have heard the sentence so often that we have perhaps ceased to notice its extravagance.
Christ places the entire world on one side of the scale.
Every empire. Every pleasure. Every fortune. Every human honour.
Everything that people have killed to possess.
And on the other side: one immortal soul. The soul outweighs the world.
Saint Augustine’s Journey: From Searching to Finding Christ, Homily, 28th August
Saint Paul emphasises that Christ crucified embodies God’s power and wisdom, contrasting worldly views on strength and wisdom. Augustine’s journey illustrates the necessity of genuine faith and readiness.
