Homily from the Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time.
Jesus took from us what was ours so He could give to us what is His.
When we come face to face with our sin, we realize that we owe a debt we cannot pay. When we come face to face with Jesus, we realize that He paid a debt He did not owe. This is the free gift that saves us from hopelessness: we are saved by grace through faith working itself out in love.

| 0:50.0 | I think a lot of times we just kind of push it off to the side because it's just like that's so huge that we might even think like there is no way it's ever going to get paid. |
| 0:58.0 | In fact, sometimes we even just jump to the idea that if we just don't think about it, at some point China's going to be like, don't worry about it. |
