33th Sunday in Ordinary Time 18 November 2007

This Homily (17 minutes) given by Fr. Thomas Weise explores the four last things: death, judgement, heaven, and hell. How does a fear of dying keep us from fully living? The work of the Catholic Campaign for Human Development was investigated under the premise that the poor know what they need to get out of poverty. See www.usccb.org/cchd for more details. The life and ministry of St. Katharine Drexel, (1885-1955) born in Philadelphia is used to tie these two themes together. St. Katharine often said, "Love is proved by deeds."

Readings: Malachi 3:19-20a; Psalm 98:5-9; 2 Thessalonians 3:7-12; Luke 21:5-19.
