Wages of Sin

Thursday of the Twenty-ninth Week in Ordinary Time. We are reminded in the readings today that indeed we are all sinners, and that "the wages of sin is death." However, there is a silver lining to what seems like this darkest cloud: God in his goodness, promises us an immeasurable bonus of the gift of eternal life. (Preached on Thursday, October 22nd, 2009, 12:15pm, St. Malachy’s Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City.)
