Homily

Though there are several factors that I considered when deciding where to do my fieldwork paper, I chose Beth Israel Synagogue located in Lexington Park, Maryland primarily for accessibility. St. Mary’s County is a rural area with a predominately Christian population. As I begin to search for a congregation with beliefs which differed from my Catholic beliefs, I did not have many options in the immediate area. The nearest Buddhist, Hindu, or Sikh congregations are located in Washington, D.C. and

Christians should not be like the Pharisees who do not practice what they preach, but instead should have a humble and fraternal attitude, Pope Francis reminded the faithful on Nov. 5. During his Angelus address on Sunday, Pope Francis said people in authority often mimic the “defect” of scribes and Pharisees depicted in the Bible. These people demand certain things from others but fail to practice their own orders, the Vatican Radio relayed. Pope Francis warned that bad exercise of authority leads

His powerful imagery challenges the reader to experience God in new ways, and question any doubts or fears of turning fully to God. In his Homily on Psalm 41, he writes “Destroy in thyself whatever is contrary to the truth, and when thou has seen thyself to be comparatively free from irrational passions, be not contented to stay where thou art, as if there was nothing further for thee to long

Reese Agu Ms. McDougall CCC 24 October 2017 Homily Over the past few months, immigration has become a much talked about problem. The president wants to deport all undocumented immigrants no matter how well they are doing in America. These days, over one-quarter of the farmhands in the United States are immigrants working here illegally.

was reaching out to help. Other types of intelligences he had were emotional intelligence because he could empathize with the people and also verbal intelligence because he had an excellent use of words to get his point across as is evident in his homilies and letters.

As aforementioned, I have to send birthday presents for them. I eyeballed the size of boxes so that they won't be excessively large or too small to cram everything in. My speculation was quite precise, so I was able to leave only small room in the boxes. I had to make sure that I send the correct box to the right person, even if it wasn't that crucial,
