Hudson: Post-Election

32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

I want to talk about 2 things today:

1. How do we as Catholics respond to an election?  
2. What will actually change our country for the better?

This weekend I preached in my hometown of Hudson, Wisconsin, at the parish of St. Patrick where I grew up.  It was a blessing to be home!  (One disclaimer is that the answer to the homiletic answer to first question above I begged, borrowed, and stole from an excellent homily of my own Deacon Dave DiSera of Hayward which he gave the weekend before the election. I thought that his words were so pertinent they bore repeating. So thank you, Deacon Dave!)
