Homily – June 30th, 2024 – 13th Sunday of Ordinary Time

Homily – June 30th, 2024 – 13th Sunday of Ordinary Time

The dying man said to him, “My whole life’s work was continually being interrupted until I finally realized that these interruptions were my life’s work.” We tend to think that in the past, life was less complicated, less multi-tasking, simpler and more trouble-free.

Faith and Knowledge

Knowledge, science, is the application of human intelligence to the empirical world. Math is just another word for intelligence. To believe in Creation is to believe that our intelligence is God-given, that there can be no conflict between Science and Creation. Science describes Creation in all its complexity.
