Can You Drop Your Net?: Being a True Christian is Really Hard.
The following is a close approximation of the homily I delivered on January 24, 2021 at St. Luke the Evangelist Church in Slidell for the 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year B. The scripture readings on which this is based can be found by clicking this link.
In a Business Insider article entitled “16 People Who Worked Incredibly Hard to Succeed” the author wrote about people who did hard things to reach their goals. People like Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz who works at the office 13 hours a day and then at home until the wee hours of the night. Then there is sisters Venus and Serena Williams who at 7 and 8 years old were up at 6 AM every day hitting tennis balls. Or Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.
