Immigrants: Brothers & Sisters in Christ
That's the end of this homily.
Fr. Michael shares the message of Pope Francis to the US Bishops this week regarding immigration and the Christian call to care for the poor and displaced. Read the statement by the US Bishops on immigration: https://www.votervoice.net/USCCB/Campaigns/12…
...He said to them,
“Are even you likewise without understanding?
Do you not realize that everything
that goes into a person from outside cannot defile,
since it enters not the heart but the stomach
and passes out into the latrine?”
(Thus he declared all foods clean.)
“But what comes out of the man, that is what defiles him.
From within the man, from his heart,
come evil thoughts, unchastity, theft, murder,
adultery, greed, malice, deceit,
licentiousness, envy, blasphemy, arrogance, folly.
All these evils come from within and they defile.”
