Homily from the Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time.
Give the first fruits and gather the fragments.
We are given two commands in this weekend's readings: to give the first fruits and gather the fragments. Our temptation, however, is to do the opposite; to give the fragments and gather the first fruits. In order to have a heart like Christ, we must become givers.
