There are homilies over the past many years that have stuck with me. Some because they are so quotable, a great story, or it just hits right at the heart at the right time. This one I share with you I remember where I sat in the church with tears in my eyes. Every time I listen to it, hits right at the heart despite being over 9 years ago when I first heard it. There have been times I have used this homily as part of an examination of conscious creating a fruitful Sacrament of Reconciliation. May Fr. Gary's words be as touching to you as it is for me.
Is it in you?
****
Father, there are times I am full of pride and criticize the wrong of others. Guide me to humility to remember that I myself carry those same marks that others have as well. Be present with me as I make a good and humble confession.
Amen.

Simply a little pencil in God's hand,
Elizabeth
