Homily given at the 11:30
a.m. Mass on Sunday, October 28, 2012, the 30th Sunday in Ordinary
Time, by Fr. Ed Fride, Pastor, Christ the King Catholic Church. In
the first reading, the prophet Jeremiah reminds the people that
their land would be protected by God only to the extent that they
stayed faithful to Him. We, like the blind Bartimaeus in the
Gospel, need to do our part, calling on the Lord, trusting Him to
act, and then following Him. We, too, have been given a wonderful
land, but we must do our part. Fr. Ed urges us to take the effort
to form our consciences according to the teachings of the Church,
to pray, and to vote pro-life and pro-religious
freedom.
Key words: pro-life, religious
freedom
