Homily - 18th Sunday of Ordinary Time - July 31, 2022

Dcn Ryan

Deacon Ryan first proclaims the Gospel for the 18th Sunday of Ordinary Time, from Luke 12:13-21.
Then Deacon Ryan tells of his experience after returning to Canada from the Philippines. Despite financial struggles, his wife and daughter constantly reminded him where our true riches reside. Reflecting on the scripture of the day, Deacon Ryan addresses two main themes. The first is that material wealth must be viewed in the context of our faith journey, and that we are all stewards of that which we possess. Secondly, Deacon Ryan discusses the "riches that matter to God". Ultimately, it is love which is our greatest treasure.
