June 21, 2026 - 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Have you ever sat next to someone at a party who spent the entire time complaining about "kids these days"? In this homily, Fr. Rob shares a humorous and pointed encounter with a particularly crabby gentleman who was convinced that his generation was the only "good" one left. Using this story as a springboard, Fr. Rob challenges the universal myth that the world is in a state of constant decline. Drawing on Jesus’ command to "Fear nothing," Fr. Rob argues that while every era faces its own chaos and violence, the presence of Christ remains the constant thread throughout human history. Rather than despairing over the news, we are called to recognize that the Kingdom of God is active and alive, moving just a little bit closer with every subsequent generation. This homily is a powerful reminder to trade generational cynicism for spiritual hope, trusting that God’s grace is continually at work in our world.
