Sunday's Homily Excerpt -

A third reason we do good works is because when we imitate God by doing beautiful and exceptional things, we are aligning ourselves with the One Who is the author of the universe. We are becoming like Him. If the goal of the Christian life is to be become by grace what God is by nature, which we call theosis, then doing good works is part of this. Doing good works turns us away from our natural inclination to be selfish and turns us outward toward other people.” - Fr. Marc Dunaway, July 19, 2026-

Excerpts from Christian writers Past and Present

Be fearful that you do not become famous because of some work that you do. If they begin to praise you because of your work, do not rejoice or take delight in it, but keep your works secret as much as you can, and do not allow anyone to speak about them. - St. Anthony the Great
