The Apostolate of Hope: Homily for the 29th Sunday OT 2024

Posted on by Father Albert
29th Sunday of Ordinary Time, B                                                                   October 20, 2024Fr. Alexander Albert                                                               St. Mary Magdalen, Abbeville https://youtu.be/kbJFoLWU4Ps “Whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all.” Jesus does not mind ambition, does not reject our desire for greatness – he gives us that desire! – he only minds that we so consistently misunderstand what true greatness is.

Posted on by Father Albert
27th Sunday of Ordinary Time, B                                                                  October 3, 2021Fr. Albert                                                                                St. John the Evangelist, Jeanerette https://youtu.be/XevZjQ6nALs “It is not good for the man to be alone.” God knows this, he isn’t just figuring it out. Neither is he surprised that none of the animals prove “to be a suitable partner for the man.” He is not showing the animals to Adam as part of an experiment, he is doing it as a lesson for Adam, for all mankind. He is teaching us that we are not meant to be alone… that we are meant to be in communion with...Read More
