12/05/21 Abounding Love: What is Worth Your Heart?

Homily from the Second Sunday of Advent. Abounding love is focused love. Too often, we do not love well because we do not discern what is worth loving; we don't pay attention to the value of things. Because of this, our love becomes diluted. But when we truly appreciate the value of the moment or the value of the person, we develop an attitude of abundance coupled with an awareness of scarcity. And while we love with our hearts, we discern what is worth loving with our heads. Mass Readings from December 5, 2021: Baruch 5:1-9 Psalm 126:1-3, 4-6 Philippians 1:4-6, 8-11 Luke 3:1-6
