Homily: Saturday 21st Week in Ordinary Time - Year 1 (8/2019)

Readings: 1 Thes 4:9-11; • Ps 98 • Mt 25:14-30 -- "...aspire to live a tranquil life, to mind your own affairs, and to work with your own hands, as we instructed you" [1 Thes 4:11]. There seems to be a human need to accomplish things using the skills of our hands -- part reward, part accomplishment, part peace.
