Fr Michael Rasicci’s homily on the 14th Sunday after Pentecost, 9/11/2022–Patriot’s Day–21st Anniversary after the Attack on America.
September 11, 2001, is a day the United States will never forget. Remembering this day of suffering and anguish also brings to mind stories of profound courage and compassion. Luke’s parables show two people who search diligently for something they have lost. Today is a time to remember not only what has been lost, but also what has been found, recovered, and celebrated as people all around us continue to work together to heal and restore important things that are too easily broken or lost. Who should you remember today because they refused to give up on a person or an idea that others said was lost and not worth the effort to reclaim?
This homily focuses on Jesus’s call to us and to First Responders.
(Readings: Jeremiah 4:11-12, 22-28; Psalm 14; 1 Timothy 1:12-17; Luke 15:1-10)
