One Sunday morning a long time ago when I was just a bored teenager, I heard an amazing homily - one that I will never forget.
And when I get too busy, too self-absorbed, too ungrateful, too entrenched in this world, too eager to pursue its pleasures, too offended when things don't go my way, too sulky when I don't get what I want, when I get my fragile ego bruised too easily, I think of a 1 sentence homily given by a parish priest quietly burning with a righteous anger.
"Folks, it's time to put away the BMW's & Audis, & get busy with the work of God."
Thanks, Fr. Foley.
