Homily - Wednesday of the 27th Week in Ordinary Time - October 11, 2023

Dcn Ryan

Deacon Ryan first proclaims the Gospel for Wednesday of the twenty-seventh week in Ordinary time, from Luke 11:1-4.
Deacon Ryan discusses a single word in the Lord's Prayer, the Our Father: Father. He reminds us that while we may pray this prayer on auto-pilot, it is worth medidating on the awesomeness of being able to call God, the creator of the universe, father. It is also important to realize that for some, "father" doesn't elicit the same sense of love, trust, safety that it does for others.
