Homily Reflections:
Given the complexity of the human heart, how do we discern the holiness or righteousness of our own thoughts and actions? Those of others?
What types of weeds have been sown in the gardens of our lives? Who did it? When did we notice they were choking off our spirits?
As we look back VERY HONESTLY, what weeds might we have sown in others’ gardens? What effect did it have? How did our just and merciful God respond to our deeds? How did God respond to the errant behavior of those who may have been influenced by the weeds we have sown?
What weeds have been sown in our nation or our national consciousness? What has been our just response?
What weeds might our nation have sown in the fields around the world? What effect are these weeds having?
