Holy Trinity Catholic Church
In his signature mix of scriptural clarity and wry humor, Deacon Wes Turton explores the meaning behind the Presentation of the Lord by walking the congregation through Jewish purification laws, Jesus’ challenge to those laws, and the deeper reason behind God’s rules. He illustrates how Old Testament rituals once set Israel apart from pagan cultures, but through Jesus, the path opens outward. What was once separation becomes invitation. The homily lands on a striking moral insight: God gives us the path, but we decide whether to walk it. With everything from Levitical laws to lobster jokes, Deacon Wes reminds us that obedience isn’t about ritual—it’s about relationship and responsibility.
