INSIDE OUT - Homily for the Fourth Sunday of Lent

"Under the dispensation of the Spirit all things were to become new and to be reversed. Strength, numbers, wealth, philosophy, eloquence, craft, experience of life, knowledge of human nature, these are the means by which worldly men have ever gained the world. But in that kingdom which Christ has set up, all is contrariwise." --Saint John Henry Newman, to whom the majority of the thoughts in this homily are to be attributed, Deo gratias. https://www.newmanreader.org/works/parochial/volume6/sermon22.html
