By Father Perry D. Leiker, pastor
"What about our anger ... what about the murders that we do with our tongues? Because that can be pretty nasty and mean," Father Perry tells us for the third episode of our Divine Mercy podcast, for our celebration of the Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time. "But he takes it a step further. And this shows the wisdom of God that's trying to reach into our hearts and transform us to take us, not to the lowest common denominator, but to the highest possible change of heart — change of mind, change of thinking, change of attitude, change of ways of acting. You and I have to live the life, the wisdom of these scriptures today, in a way that models it for others so that they see the goodness that is in that; and it helps to transform them and our lives even more. There's wisdom not just in reading the word, but living the word."
