Playing a Part

Wednesday of the Twenty-First Week in Ordinary Time. Father Dave reflects on today's Gospel reading from Matthew where Jesus accuses the Pharisees of being hypocrites. Father Dave explains that back then, the word "hypocrite" was akin to calling someone an actor. He asks us to reflect in our own hearts whether or not we are acting when it comes to our faith, or if living our faith authentically. Preached at Saint Paul the Apostle Church, New York City on 8-25-21
