10/14/07 Encountering Christ




UMD NEWMAN CATHOLIC CAMPUS MINISTRY show

Summary: Homily from the Twenty-Eighth Sunday of Ordinary Time. "On the outside, you as a Catholic Christian look TAME when you go to Mass on Sunday. You look domesticated when you go to Mass on Sunday. But that is not reality! What we’re doing here is not tame! To encounter power and healing, to encounter the living God, as I talked about last week, to receive the Eucharist is to eat fire. The Eucharist being the atomic bomb of God Himself. It looks calm on the outside, but inside, It burns." Readings from Sunday, October 14, 2007: 2 Kings 5:14-17 Psalm 98:1, 2-3, 3-4 2 Timothy 2:8-13 Luke 17:11-19
