Sermon From
18th Sunday After Pentecost 2013
This sermon tells the story of Saint Matthew who was unique and unlike any of the other disciples chosen by Our Lord. However, this sermon includes multiple talks including loyalty and friendship with the example of the friends to the man who was lowered down to Christ in today’s Gospel. Also, the vice of covetousness is warned against as seen in people of pride and those who have a grasping desire for power and wealth. We are instructed to pray with faith because our prayers lack faith and this is the cause of the lack of miracles today. Lastly, we are reminded that repentance for sins is paramount and a clear conscience allows one to pray better.
