About this Episode

Homily from the Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

A person cannot be excellent without rest.

Human beings are made in God's image. We are also made for love, for labor, and for leisure. Since the Fall, these gifts have become distorted in our hearts and we have to fight for the ability to love well, to labor well, and even to leisure well. But we must strive to rest well if we are going to be the people God has made and redeemed us to be.
