Transcripts of Msgr. Anderson homilies
May 16, 2025
You and I have been gifted with this day by God. This day is God’s gift to us. What we do with it should be a gift back to Him.
He doesn’t ask us to do the difficult, although
it seems at times that what should come naturally
to a Christian is hard for us:
Get through the day without gossiping – if you must
speak about someone, say something good.
If you are angry, take it to Jesus.
Sometimes, we don’t even get out of the parking lot of this church before we get upset. We will have
many instances today that could cause us to stumble; we will have more instances that will give us the opportunity to reflect who we are and whose we are.
No one has come to believe in Mary’s son because we
build a building – it is not the building that is Holy, it is those of us inside who are, and are called to bear witness to Him. So may the words we speak this day, the deeds we do, reflect who we are and whose we are. And may others find a reason to believe in Mary’s son because they have spent time with you and me.
