Homily Topic: Fellowship of Sinners Anonymous

From the Catholic Liturgy for Sunday, June 12, 2016. Like King David in the first reading from the Old Testament, and like the Repentant Woman in the Gospel, we all are powerless over the effects of that ancient  original  human sin, first set into motion by Adam and Eve.  It finds a home in all of us in one form or another: greed, lust, anger, gluttony, envy, pride or sloth (along with their spin-offs). The remedy? An up close and personal relationship with Jesus Christ, Son of God, Lord and Savior, our Brother in the human family. Daily we turn our lives and our wills over to Him and trust in His care, in the power of His grace. The Holy Eucharist, His glorious and risen Body and Blood, which we receive in Holy Communion, is our strength and hope. In Christ we have strength for everything!
