3/09/26: Just Go to the River

Monday Mass. 3.09.26. We all have assumptions about how God should work in our lives. We expect grand gestures, dramatic moments, clear signs — and when God shows up differently, we walk away disappointed or confused. But what if God is doing something in your life that you're not even seeing because your pride is in the way?   In this homily, I reflect on the story of Naaman the commander (2 Kings 5) — a powerful man brought low by leprosy who almost missed his healing because the prophet's instructions seemed too simple, too small, too beneath him. Just go to the river. Just wash seven times. That's it.
