Homily for the Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time (9:00 pm)

Jesus increasing in our lives is the primary goal we must have. It means that He takes greater possession of our minds and will. It means He possesses us and we possess Him. It means that our number one goal and desire in life is the fulfillment of His holy will in all things. It means that fear is cast aside and charity becomes our reason for living. It’s very freeing to allow the Lord to increase in our lives. It’s freeing in the sense that we no longer have to try and manage on our own. Jesus now lives in and through us.
