6/23/21 Risk Going Outside with the Lord
/
Homily for the twelfth Wednesday of Ordinary Time.
In the book of Gensis, Abraham and God have a heart-to-heart about what he really wants: an heir. Have you ever been locked up in your thoughts, head, and emotions like Abraham? God takes Abraham outside to count the stars. Have kind people around you tried to get you to move one way or another? What might it mean to you to hear the voice of God directed to you? Can you step away from your certitudes, grievances, sadness, and self-assurance and risk going outside with the Lord and see what might happen in the ensuing conversation?
Gospel: Matthew 7:15-20
