Homily for January 14, 2021

Disturb me, O Lord. Make me uncomfortable. The trend today seems to be to avoid discomfort, sometimes at all costs. In many ways, the current state of affairs in our country is the inability to allow ourselves to be uncomfortable. Whenever it happens, we are tempted to avoid it. And yet, we need to remember the source of our discomfort may be God himself.
