August 31, 2025: ”Humility that Uplifts” with Amy Hoegen

Preaching for the Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time, Amy Hoegen offers a reflection on lifting up others: "As we go forth this week, there will be daily opportunities to respond to the needs of others. Some of those needs will be global and feel overwhelming. Some will be more practical and routine. In all those moments, let humility be the gift that uplifts, the gift that encourages us and gives us the strength to elevate others and raise up the dignity, story and the gift of every human being. "Amy Hoegen (she/her) has over 25 years of experience as a Catholic lay minister. She currently serves as a Campus Minister at the University of Scranton, a Jesuit University in Pennsylvania. She received a B.S. in Psychology from Misericordia University and a M.A. in Pastoral Ministry from Boston College.
