This homily explores how our lives are like a journey, an exodus. Just as God led His people out of slavery in Egypt, Jesus leads us out of the slavery of sin and selfishness into the freedom of love. We’re reminded that this world is not our home; we’re pilgrims on the way to heaven. With help from the Scriptures, Pope Benedict XVI, and a beautiful Franciscan song, we’re invited to see love as the true path to freedom, the way out, the way forward.
