Homily for Pentecost 2020 - Peace against and in Chaos
At Pentecost we celebrate the Holy Trinity and the restoration of unity from the division of Babel. How are we to understand the present division within that frame? Fr. Anthony provides some context and gives three pieces of advice for these difficult times: 1) cultivate peace in the heart and in relations 2) be charitable towards the intentions of others and 3) trust God's plan on redemption for all of us.
