Guard our thoughts and follow Christ to holiness — Video homily

Read bio Fr. Joseph Eddy

27th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Fr. Joseph Eddy, O. de M.

Gospel: Matt. 21:33-43 “The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.”

(Read the complete homily text in new window.)

Homily Summary: Our morality and the state of our soul is determined by the choices that we make. What we take in with our senses (touch, sight, and hearing) will go a long ways to determining the choices that we make.

If we listen to, look at, and experience virtuous behavior, we will be more likely to become virtuous. But, if what we listen to, look at, and experience each day is sinful it will wear away at our resolve and eventually turn us into a person in bondage to sin.

A prudent discernment of the culture can preserve our purity of thoughts and prevent sin from enslaving us.
