Deacon David Allan Harris
Hi, I’m Deacon David Harris from the Archdiocese of Dubuque in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I preach weekday mass every Saturday morning. If any good can come from anyone hearing these podcasts, then thanks be to God!
Mt 5:43-48
Jesus said to his disciples:
“You have heard that it was said,
You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.
But I say to you, love your enemies,
and pray for those who persecute you,
that you may be children of your heavenly Father,
for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good,
and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.
For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have?
Do not the tax collectors do the same?
And if you greet your brothers and sisters only,
what is unusual about that?
Do not the pagans do the same?
So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.”
This is a simple, unrehearsed, practice run, for my one minute homily, recorded in my car. Nothing fancy but if anyone can benefit from this and thanks be to God.
