In this homily for the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Deacon Pat reflects on the Christian duty to care enough to correct one another with love. Drawing from Ezekiel, Romans, and Matthew, he explains that discipleship is not about criticism or superiority, but about helping others turn back to truth and life. Using the contrast with “mind your own business,” he shows that fraternal correction is an act of charity rooted in humility and concern. The message is a clear call to become watchful, compassionate guardians of one another.
