Homily from 2-23-25

Let's put church teaching aside for just a minute.  When Jesus spoke, did he actually mean what he said?  And if so, what did he really mean?  Whether it makes us comfortable or not, many of the things Jesus said were (and still are) counter-cultural, radically different than the norm.  And those same things should shake us even today.  If they don't, we need to ask ourselves if Jesus really meant what he said and what those words mean today.  If he did mean what he said, then chances are that we need to do some soul searching here in 2025!
