Don’t belong here, but have to live here.
One of the most significant concepts in the Bible is the reality and the pain of Exile. Ever since the expulsion from the Garden of Eden, humans have walked through life knowing that things are not as they should be and we are not where we should be. But there is a way to live in Exile.

Every week, Catholic priest Fr. Mike Schmitz delivers powerful homilies based on the Sunday Mass Scripture readings, inviting you to live more fully as the person God created you to be. Engaging and motivating, these 20-30 minute homilies will help ground your faith, fortify your heart, and transform your life. Fr. Mike Schmitz preaches from Duluth Minnesota, where he serves as the Newman chaplain for University Minnesota Duluth’s Bulldog Catholic campus ministry.
Homily from the Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time.
Do not wait to live. God is using this here and now.
There is real suffering. There is real good and evil. But sometimes, the difference between something that is worthless and something that is worthwhile is a matter of perspective. God can use even our flaws…in fact, he will use everything if we let him.
- Mass Readings from January 29, 2023:
- Zephaniah 2:3; 3:12-13
- Psalms 146:6-10
