2 September 2018 | 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time | Menlo Park, Calif.

Let’s take a walk on the Eastern side of the Church (or at least of Menlo Park!) This morning, as I make my way across town to a Byzantine Catholic Divine Liturgy—more on that later—I want to share with you a bit about my first experience this year in ministry, as well as some thoughts about the right relationship between worship of God and service of the poor.
