Homily for Wednesday of the 11th Week in Ordinary Time

Jesus advises us not to flaunt our good deeds to seek attention from others. However, earlier in the sermon, he seems to suggest the opposite when he states, "Your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father." Although there appears to be a contrast between these two ideas, both hold significant value. We should not conceal our faith or pretend to be agnostic and noncommittal. Instead, we should demonstrate our love for the Lord through our lives and choices. We must act and speak with humility, always remembering that everything we do, no matter how small, should be for the glory of God. This is our inspiration and motivation.
