Summary
Homily from the Thirty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time.
Worship is not about what we get, but about what we can give.
When it comes to Mass, we often complain that we "don't get anything out of it". Is that what Mass is about? Is that what love is about? Or is love (and worship) about what we can give?

- Deuteronomy 6:2-6
