7/9/23 Hurry and Worry

Homily from the Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

"Hurry is the greatest threat to the spiritual life and the way of Jesus."

We constantly experience the temptation to "max out" our lives by racing from event to event, task to task. The goal of life is union with God and anything that takes us away from this goal is a major threat to this goal...including hurry.
