Trust In God, Ice Cream Sprinkles, and Walter Cronkite
The following is a close approximation of the homily I delivered the weekend of February 16-17, 2019 for the 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C. The scripture readings on which this homily is based can be found by clicking this link.
Trust – a firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something. How many of you remember Walter Cronkite or Chet Huntley? For those who do not, they were news broadcast anchormen in the late 50’s, the 60’s and early 70’s. More than 90% of viewers believed Walter Cronkite was very trustworthy. Chet Huntley was not far behind. According to a November 2018 survey the two most trusted news anchors are Lester Holt and Anderson Cooper, considered very trustworthy by 32 and 29 percent of viewers, respectively.
