No homily for the Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time, August 23, 2026
Isaiah 22:19-23, Romans 11:33-36, Matthew 16:13-20
When I was in formation to become a deacon, our mentors repeated early and often that, after God, family comes first. The families we’re born into, and the families we assemble as we journey through this life and the next.
This weekend, my family has come first.
Today’s passages from Scripture, fortunately, are profound, with self-evident messages.
I’ll be back next week (is that a promise or a threat?).
