A Nugget from Today's Homily

A rather hardened reporter was interviewing a pastor and asked, "Is there any way that God could actually change this world?"

The pastor thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, there are two ways God could change the world. The natural way, and the supernatural way."

Not being one to waste thought on the supernatural, the reporter asked the pastor about the natural way.

"The natural way is that God could send hundreds of legions of angels to earth to force everyone to accept His will," the pastor replied.

Completely flummoxed, the reporter asked "so, then what is the supernatural way?"

To which the pastor replied, "We could let God change our hearts."

From the story-telling heart of Fr. Brian Cavanaugh.
