10/11/26 Blind Spots: Practical Atheism

29 min

Homily from the Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time. I believe that God exists, but I do not live as if God exists. Sometimes we become so comfortable with our words, our schedules, and our everyday choices that we ignore God's invitation to a life-changing relationship with Him. God has made Himself ignorable for the sake of love: but love pays attention. The remedy is to invite Him into each and every moment and ask, "God, right now, how would you have me be?"
