6/22/21 The Peace of Christ
/
Homily for the Feast Day of St. Thomas Moore.
No one could make Jesus afraid; he had a peace that was larger than the turmoil around him. St. Thomas Moore lived during tumultuous times. He had the same calm that Jesus and St. Paul had. If you understand to whom you belong and who lives inside you, you can be immunized from all that turmoil. You can let all that stuff happen around you and go in one ear and out the other, saying, “You do whatever you need to do. I’m just going to stand here and love.”
Gospel: Matthew 10:34-39
