When we desire something and are waiting for it, we are increasing our capacity to enjoy it when it comes. Such anticipation helps us to be prepared for it when it is here. If we don’t prepare, if we aren’t ready, if we don’t anticipate, wait, and watch, then we might just miss out on something great and wonderful.

At one point in time, many people believed that only priests and those in religious orders were called to become saints. Only they were to pursue the life of holiness. However, everyone is called to be holy, everyone is called to be a saint! Only saints are in heaven. If you want to be in heaven, then you have to become a saint.
Wait! The Church has to declare someone a saint right? Listen to my homily to get the answer!

As we go through life we often recognize differences between our lives and the lives of others. We may notice how someone else may get what we wanted, or we may want what someone else has. It’s possible that we may have the same thing as others but somehow, we had to work harder to get it and it seemingly was easy for them. We might think these things are unfair. We might be upset, bitter, or angry about it.
If you had experiences like these, then you also may know how the early workers in the parable of our Gospel passage felt... Listen to my homily to learn more!

This is the English Translation of my Spanish Homily call Perdonar Siempre (Always Forgive).
