Homily Cycle II Offered at OLPH 01/15/2026 [Readings: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/011526.cfm]
Our 1st Reading this morning tells us of Israel’s “disastrous defeat.” The concert musician Itzhak Perlman indicated two things that happened to him before he was four & they shaped his future:
1. He was struck with polio.
2. He heard Jascha Heiftez play.
For most of us there are probably two things that shaped our future:
1. We were Baptized and became children of God.
2. We learned to love from our parents.
Profound and important but not frequently reflected upon. In our Responsorial Psalm we prayed “Redeem us, Lord, because of Your mercy.”
People kept coming to Jesus and so should we, may God’s mercy fill us today and every day.
May God Be Praised.
