Homily for 7 Mar 2018


7 Mar 2018

One of the hard things about driving in the snow is that you can’t always see the lines on the road.  Especially out in the country where you know there’s a ditch along the road, that white line along the edge is very important.  When those lines on the road get obscured, it can make driving a little difficult.

And that’s similar to how it is when God’s law gets obscured in our life.  If we forget that law to love God, well, we might end up doing some off-road traveling.  Or if we forget that law to love our neighbor as ourselves, we might end crossing lines that put us on a collision course—if we don’t make some corrections.

When God’s law gets obscured, it can make our life’s travels more difficult.  And so, it’s good to get out the driver’s manual every now and then and review.  It’s good to sit down with God and remember, “Oh yes, love of God and love of neighbor...gotta remember that.”  Make God keep us safe in our life travels, and bring us home safe.
