Homily 2012-07-25 - Fr Joseph Mary MFVA - St James - ApostleE

Fr. Joseph begins his homily with a beautiful story about a little boy who was afraid to have a blood test, because of the needle (I know exactly how he felt!), and the loving way his father handled the situation. MUCH better, in my opinion, than saying stuff like, "Be a man," or "Stop being such a baby," or, "Son, you're embarrassing me." All of which phrases, too many children have heard over the years.
