“The homily is the touchstone to measure the pastor’s proximity and ability to meet his people, because those who preach must recognize the heart of their community and must be able to see where the desire for God is lively and ardent. The message of the Gospel, therefore, is not to be reduced to some aspects that, although relevant, on their own do not show the heart of the message of Jesus Christ.” Pope Francis

I have been asked to have my homilies available on our website (NOT because I think they are so good that we just have to get them out there!). Some want to come back to them during the week, others miss a weekend from time to time and wanted access to the homily.

So if you are not a parishioner of Sacred Heart in Omaha, my homilies might not resonate with you. Also, please remember, we all have the Word of God dwelling within us, we are all called to be proclaimers of our faith in Jesus Christ! As the line attributed to St. Francis of Assisi goes, “if necessary, use words.” Father Dave Korth
