On the 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Deacon Pat reflects on Solomon’s prayer for wisdom and Jesus’ parables about the treasure, the pearl, and the net. He draws a clear distinction between intelligence and true spiritual wisdom, emphasizing the God-given ability to discern good from evil. The homily also offers a sober but hopeful teaching on sin, judgment, and hell, stressing that God desires our salvation and that we prepare for heaven by choosing God each day. The message ultimately calls listeners to live not in fear, but in love and wise fidelity to the Lord.
