Homily for the Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time, delivered in St Patrick's Church, Calliope, Qld.
"The Lord spoke to Moses, ‘Go down now, because your people whom you brought out of Egypt have apostatised. They have been quick to leave the way I marked out for them; they have made themselves a calf of molten metal and have worshipped it and offered it sacrifice. "Here is your God, Israel,” they have cried “who brought you up from the land of Egypt!”’ the Lord said to Moses, ‘I can see how headstrong these people are! Leave me, now, my wrath shall blaze out against them and devour them..."' But Moses pleaded with the Lord his God... So the Lord relented and did not bring on his people the disaster he had threatened." (cf. Ex 32:7-14).
"I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, and who judged me faithful enough to call me into his service even though I used to be a blasphemer and did all I could to injure and discredit the faith... Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. I myself am the greatest of them; and if mercy has been shown to me, it is because Jesus Christ meant to make me the greatest evidence of his inexhaustible patience for all..." (cf. 1 Tim 1:12-17).
"The tax collectors and the sinners were all seeking the company of Jesus to hear what he had to say, and the Pharisees and the scribes complained. ‘This man’ they said ‘welcomes sinners and eats with them.’ So he spoke [in] parable[s] to them... [the] hundred sheep; [the] woman with ten drachmas; [the] man with two sons..." (cf. Lk 15:1-32).
