Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Homily)
September 13, 2015 9:00 am · Father Dan Vanyo
This is a question for each of you. Do people know you as a Christian? Just think about that for a few seconds. Now, it's a little tougher at home right, because 24-7, everyone knows a lot more specifics, a lot more details, know you a lot better. But lets put that environment, although you should be a Christian at home, obviously. Charity begins at home, you remember the old saying. Just moving that environment aside for this moment, think about work, how you are in public, how you are in other places.
Do people, even if they don't know you very well, sense that you are follower of Jesus Christ? And those that do know you, like co-workers, right. Because they see you a lot more often and regularly. Do they know that you are a Christian? Really think about that. We hear a lot about follow Christ, do this, be Holy. Are you doing it? Do other people know it. Do they think that you are firm in your faith, and what you hold as beliefs that are true?
