DEACON GEORGE’S HOMILY FOR TWELFTH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME
In our first reading, Jeremiah refuses to be intimidated by terror from every side. But that doesn’t mean that the terror doesn’t get to him, Jeremiah is a prophet, not a robot. It means that he has no intention of allowing the terror to write his script or dictate who he is. Jeremiah has been abandoned by all his friends, who now try to discredit him. He is thrown into prison for all his preaching, and the army council threatens him with death, if he doesn’t change his tune. But Jeremiah refuses to be bullied into agreement because, he believes “the Lord is with me as a dread warrior.” But what keeps Jeremiah sane, amidst all this persecution, it is the profound belief that God cares for him. And less spiritually, he hopes that God will clobber all his enemies in good time….
