Summary

Homily from the Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Excellence requires making the decision carefully, consistently, and quickly.

The one question that can either deflate or motivate a person is “When?” This question reveals whether our goal is an actual goal or merely a wish.

Mass Readings from November 8, 2020:
Wisdom 6:12-16

0:49.6	But this is a soft sell.
0:51.6	If this ministry has blessed you, I simply invite you to pray about offering something.
