Summary

Friends, I have spent the past 12 days in Rome for “baby Bishop school”, and just returned today. As such, I asked my Word on Fire team to reach into our archives for this week’s sermon.

But in the meantime, I hope that this archived sermon will help you to understand and personally appropriate the Scriptures for this Sunday, which remind us that we cannot remain indifferent to the poor, whom the Lord has determined to be a privileged route of access to his life and presence.

0:48.4	North Avenue.
0:49.4	Now, Chicago is known what I'm talking about, but North Avenue is a big street that
0:53.8	runs through the city of Chicago.
0:56.7	The red light at the bottom of the exit ramp is very long, and so usually I'm obliged
1:01.2	to wait there for some time.
1:04.2	Practically every time I find myself in that situation, there's a homeless man who is
1:10.0	positioned down by the end of the exit ramp, who comes toward the window of my car and

1:16.0	Now, usually, because I'm coming from my office, I'm wearing my Roman collar, and it makes
1:21.1	this situation even more unpleasant.
