Homily stories

11 Feb 2018 - Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Cycle B

After spring break, a priest and fellow teacher with few remnants of the full head of hair he once had, returned to school fitted with a toupee. When we all saw him for the first time, we couldn’t help but let our eyes travel right up to his new hairline. But he just ignored our stares. And we just pretended like we didn’t really see anything different about him. Seldom do such measures do much more than draw attention to themselves. It is rare that they achieve the natural solution they were intended to cause, and they certainly do not slow down the aging process, so we usually end up only reemphasizing our limitations. In life we try to escape from pain and suffering and cover up our limitations. But God sees through our fear and urges us to trust in him and love ourselves and others as God loves us—unconditionally and limitlessly.

French for “crib”; popular name for the Nativity scene displayed in the Christmas season, typically with sculptural figures of Mary, Joseph, Jesus, the manger, shepherds, Magi, and farm animals.
