Homily from 5-5-24

In our culture, especially in 2024, the world is all about our own right to choose.  From our breakfast, to our church, our school, our health care and life, to what we'll eat, choice abound for us.  But in truth, God made a choice too: US!  God has chosen us as a people set apart from the rest of the world for the betterment of the rest of the world.  Now that could easily lead to some pretty self-righteous followers, but not so fast!  In turn, we also have to make a choice.  And if we choose to love God in return, our lives must become a sacrifice, a living sacrifice made every day for other people.  Can you do that?
