Homily on 3-23-25 #2

Fr. Dustin Vu visited St. Joseph Parish in Elkader this weekend as Fr. John continues his recovery.  Thank you for your ministry, Fr. Vu!

In this homily, Fr. Vu gives us the landowner's quarrel.  Are we getting better?  Or are we getting worse?  If we're not getting better, then we are useless, perhaps even worse.  Maybe we take up space and resources from others!  Come judgement day, the landowner - aka God - will make his decision on where we go.  But if we're getting better throughout our lives, perhaps the landowner decides to let us stay and flourish!  As we continue on our Lenten journey, let's ask ourselves - even if bit by bit - whether we're getting better at being Jesus' disciples or getting worse.
