17th Sunday in Ordinary Time 29 July 2007

This Homily (14 minutes) was given by Fr. Thomas at the 5:30 Sunday Evening Mass. The importance of Prayer in our lives as Christians is explored. In the First Reading Abraham pleads with the Lord that the innocent not be destroyed with the wicked. In the Gospel Jesus teaches his disciples how to pray the Our Father. Paul reminds the Colossians that all of our transgressions have been nailed to the cross of Christ and covered over in his blood. How well and how often do I pray? Do I spend the time daily to maintain my relationship with God? Who changes when I pray, God or me?

Readings: Genesis 18:20-32, Psalm 138:1-3, 6-8, Colossians 2:12-14, Luke 11:1-13
