A prayer-homily for the Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time, August 17, 2025
Jeremiah 38:4-6, 8-10, Hebrews 12:1-4, Luke 12:49-53
This weekend, I was humbled and honored to represent the Church of St. Anselm at a Community Day of Prayer in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. The devotional celebration was sponsored by a variety of churches in Monmouth County; it was coordinated by St. Thomas AME Zion Church and their pastor, the Rev. Danica L. Frink.
I was one of seven preachers called upon to lead the attendees in a prayer for specific needs. Again: humbling, yet uplifting.
