Homily from the Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time.
We sacrifice because we love and we love because we sacrifice.
The roots in our lives can be so beneficial. Family and friends, home and homeland. But roots can also become traps. Good things can become Ultimate Things. When we say "I need this" and are willing to sacrifice anything to get or to hold on to it, we become trapped. In this, God loosens the roots and calls us to walk by faith.
