Thursday in the Octave of Easter. It's easy to fall into a routine - at work, at home, and even at mass. It happens to the best of us - our minds wander while we sit in the pews, and we lose focus on the music, prayers, or even the fact that we are receiving Jesus. In today's homily, a reminder to stay alert. We are all witnesses to the risen Lord through his body and blood. Preached at St. Paul the Apostle Church, New York City on 03-31-16. |
