Our God Is God Of All
This is an approximation of the homily I delivered for the 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time, August 14, 2011 at St Luke the Evangelist in Slidell . Here is a link to the readings. http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/081411.cfm
Have you ever felt like you did not belong somewhere or were being excluded? One time I recall feeling this way was many years ago while working on a project in Salt Lake City. I went to Mass, and like any good Catholic, I sat in the last row! I began to notice that I was one of the few if not only people who looked like me. There were virtually no other Anglos there. Everyone looked either Indian or very Latino. Week after week, I went to this same Church. No one was rude to me nor did anyone do anything mean or harsh.
