Summary

Homily from the Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Our hearts are enslaved...exile can be the cure.

But no matter the situation, one thing that cannot be taken away from a person made in God's image is the freedom to choose how one responds to those circumstances. Our hearts can be enslaved in any situation, but they can also be free in any situation.
