Feb. 22, 2020, 7th Sunday in Ordinary Time homily: Dcn. Dan Foley

<p>Homily given at the 4:30 pm Mass on Saturday, February 22, 2020, the 7th Sunday in Ordinary Time, by Dcn. Dan Foley, Christ the King Catholic Church.</p> <p>Dcn. Dan notes that the concept of limited retribution introduced in <a href="http://usccb.org/bible/readings/022320.cfm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the first reading from Leviticus</a> was revolutionary. It took more than a millennium to prepare the people of Israel for the fullness of the teaching on forgiveness given by Jesus as recorded in <a href= "http://usccb.org/bible/matthew/5:38" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">today's Gospel</a>. The command to love our enemies is at the very heart of who we are called to be as baptized Christians.</p> <p>Keywords: conversion, forgiveness</p>
