The list in the next paragraph is quite comparable: things people do that hurt others, particularly others for whom we have special responsibility - things that hurt others repeatedly. But the last paragraph is dynamite!Gregg the Obscurenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-25373239089786745442013-09-15T17:44:47.382-05:002013-09-15T17:44:47.382-05:00I really wish I could hear this homily, because fo...I really wish I could hear this homily, because for me it didn't read well. I found it choppy, especially at the beginning. And it felt . . . rushed? I can typically settle into reading one of your homilies - but not this one.<br /><br />I did very much appreciate the point that we shouldn't be comparing our sin to someone else's. And the reminder of God's infinite mercy. The third and fourth paragraphs were my favorite parts. Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05485793986602894527noreply@blogger.com
