Catholic Priest Speaks Out On Gaza
That's the end of this homily.
Today's Gospel presents a powerful challenge for all Christians, particularly Catholics. Fr. Michael calls us to awareness and to take real action in response to the humanitarian crisis affecting hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza who are suffering from malnutrition and famine.
The reading
Matthew 23:27–32
Jesus said,
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites.
You are like whitewashed tombs, which appear beautiful on the outside,
but inside are full of dead men's bones and every kind of filth.
Even so, on the outside you appear righteous,
but inside you are filled with hypocrisy and evildoing.
