Sunday's Homily Excerpt -
Throughout history and unfortunately far too often in modern times, greatness becomes equated to those who have obtained power, fame, fortune. In this view, money, influence, and the accumulation of wealth become the benchmarks of success... Christ gives us another way. That through sacrifice and humility, we become great by being last. Becoming great by putting others before ourselves.'” - Subdn. Tim Mellor, March 29, 2026-
Everybody can be great..., because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love. - Rev Martin Luther King Jr.
