Spiritual Growth in the Church: Beyond Personalities. Homily, 2nd September
Saint Paul warns the Corinthians against dividing themselves by personalities, urging them to focus on God. True spiritual growth stems from grace leading to conformity with Christ.
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.
