Intro

Homily from the Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Do not give away what has real value for counterfeit happiness.

There are many idols in our lives that promise the happiness that only God can give. The counterfeits of Wealth, Power, Pleasure, and Fame have taken all that people have and left them with nothing. Jesus gives us a new way to live...that actually leads to authentic happiness.
