12/10/23 Main Character: Perfect

Homily from the Second Sunday of Advent.

Perfectionism can move us from caring to quitting.

Spiritual perfectionism can lead people who care about the Faith and who love God to a place of harshness and hurry so much that they just want to give up. But the Gospel reminds us that God is gentle and patient.
