What is First Place in our Hearts Becomes our God – Aug 16 – Homily – Fr Ignatius

 

Fr Ignatius gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Aug 16, 2021, on how our possessions can possess us and hinder our ability to continue in the way of the Lord because what is first place in our hearts will become the dominant thing, will become our god. This is presented in the Gospel with the rich young man and the old testament reading where people left the commandments to pursue gods who offered pleasures and possession, a tendency that is very prominent in our modern world.
