Let the Children Come to Me—RCIA Retreat 2017
Gina and I spent the day with our catechumens and candidates today, After the first of three talks, we had exposition and benediction. Here's my homily from that event.
Mark 10:13–16
Gina and I have five grandchildren, and with most of them, I have gone through the stage in which it is very popular for them to come and cling to me and hang on me, and just otherwise want to be around me. I'm good with that for a while, but it also happens that often the times that they can come to visit are the very times when I have limited free time to get various things done. So at a certain point, I'm not as accessible or generous as I'd like to be. I feel badly for admitting that, but it's simply the truth. Perhaps when I retire, I'll be less stingy with my time. I hope that is the case.
