9/10/23 Tough Love: Only the Good Things

Homily from the Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time

Do I love enough to listen? Do I love enough to speak?

In loving the people around us well, one thing we have to contend with is loving them well in our words. We avoid all unnecessary negatives, love enough to listen, and love enough to speak.
