In my homily, on July 16th, 2017, at the 12:15 pm and 5:30 pm Masses, after describing the different types of soil, I ended it with 3 challenges. The first was to talk with friends or family about Mass, the homily, the readings, or anything that captured your attention shortly after Mass. This way, what was received at Mass is not easily lost. Second, to spend 5 minutes a day, every day for a week recalling the blessings received from God and thanking Him for them. So as to promote a daily prayer life to help prevent what was received regarding the word of God and faith from being scorched by daily activities because of a lack of roots. The third and final challenge was to spend an additional 5 minutes each day for a week presenting to God all the difficulties, worldly anxieties, struggles, and obstacles to the growth of faith, asking for His help, and trusting that if we do what is reasonable, we can leave the rest up to God. This should help prevent what we have received from being choked by the thorns of those difficulties, worldly anxieties, struggles, and obstacles.
Fr. Michael Lampe shares the truth in love through his homilies and other recordings. May all who come to this blog be drawn more closely to Jesus Christ!
