Homily for the fourteenth Thursday of Ordinary Times.
Around 1800, John Chapman left Massachusetts and traveled west towards Illinois, planting apple seeds along the way. He believed that even if he never saw the apple trees grow or bear fruit, others would benefit from his efforts. He didn’t feel the need to constantly watch over the trees to ensure a large yield. Trust the Holy Spirit, receive first, then give and your needs will be few. Let us follow in his footsteps and go out into the world, loving others as we ourselves have been loved.
Gospel Matthew 10:7-15
