02/23/20 Defiant Love

Homily from the Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time.

If we are going to love like Jesus, we must love differently…we must love defiantly.

The Universe is indifferent to us. People can be vicious to us. The Christian’s response is not indifference nor viciousness. The Christian response is to love in the face of indifference and evil.
