Summary

Homily from the Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it is thinking of yourself less.

The Book of Sirach makes the claim that the humble person is loved more than a giver of gifts. But what does it mean to be humble? Does it mean what most of us automatically think of? Or does it mean something deeper...something freer? True humility gives a person the ability to pay attention.

Mass Readings from August 28, 2022:
Sirach 3:17-18, 20, 28-29
Psalms 68:4-7, 10-11
Hebrews 12:18-19, 22-24
