Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time, October 6, 2024

This is a summary of what I preached on Sunday, October 6, 2024, the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time.

So we had a Gospel about marriage accompanied by Genesis 2 and the creation of a woman.

This is always an occasion to talk about marriage, and I have to say the main point I was driving at that day was that before people can be spouses they have to be friends; they have to enjoy a deep friendship.

I used once again the exchange in Act 2 of the play "Our Town" in which George and Emily are coming close to saying to one another that they are to be married.

I did not record the homily as I got distracted that day. That was the day that we held the Mass in the Grass in the Troy Park at the Gazebo.

And it was a beautiful, perfect day to be out, and that was what distracted me from the duty to record the homily.
