Homily given at the 11:30 a.m. Mass on Sunday, September 2, 2012, the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, by Fr. Ed Fride, Pastor, Christ the King Catholic Church. Fr. Ed reminds us that our relationship with Jesus should result in an increase in love for God and for our neighbor as our hearts become more like His. As today's reading from the Epistle of James points out, that love should be expressed in very practical ways. The point of all that we do should be that we become better lovers, falling more deeply in love with Jesus and other people.

Key words: love, charity
