Sept 24, 2010 - Scandalizing Love

Homily for the 24th Sunday  in Ordinary Time, Year C 10 - Fr. Satish Joseph. A scandal is serious business. It hurts the people involved, it destroys relationships, and most of all, it leads people away from God. However, what if I said to you that there is a good and positive way of being scandalizing?

Sept 5, 2010 - The Cost of Discipleship

Homily for 23rd Week in Oridniary Time, Year C 10 - Fr. Satish Joseph I remember this incident very clearly. I was in my moral theology class in the Seminary. The professor began his class by asking all of us to write our epitaph. I wanted mine to be the best and the most impressive. I remember thinking hard for a minute and finally wrote down the words: “Here lies a man who lived his life to the full.” I was so convinced that everyone in the room would want to copy my epitaph. When I shared my epitaph with the class, I did not hear the ooohs and the aaahhs I was expecting. The professor passed on to my friend sitting next to me. He had merely written, “Here lies a disciple.” Not only was I highly embarrassed at my own epitaph, but that was the single most life changing moment of my life. It is 20 years since then. Disciple – this word haunts me today as it did that day.
