01/30/22 Nothing to Fear: Rejection

Homily from the Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Do not sacrifice your identity and integrity on the altar of approval.

We all need acceptance. It is a basic human requirement. But we also must have the courage and freedom to know who we are and what we are about independent of the accepting group.
