Homily for Thursday, November 4, 2021

I love the image in today’s gospel. Do you ever stop to think that every time you go to confession and leave, there is tremendous joy in heaven on the part of the angels and the saints? Sometimes I know I forget that the gospel is not some abstract concept, but is real and is meant to penetrate the heart.
