26th Sunday in Ordinary Time 28 Sept 2008

This Homily (23 minutes) was given by Fr. Thomas Weise at the 11am Mass, using all three readings, yet focusing in on Paul's letter to the Philippians.  Paul gives us the secret to living in peace and harmony with everyone as we grow in holiness.  Do nothing out of selfishness or out of vainglory; rather humbly regard others as more important than yourselves, each looking out not for his own interests, but also for those of others.  Have in you the same attitude that is also in Christ Jesus.  Wow!  I know I fall way short of this, yet through Centering Prayer I am learning to empty myself so that God can live large in me.
