10-1-23 Sincerity and Conversion - Fr. Rob

St. Luke University Parish

Discipleship isn't a one-time event, but a series of conversions throughout our lives. Fr. Rob emphasizes the importance of not just acknowledging our faults, but also being truthful, even if it means giving the wrong answer. Drawing from the parable of the two sons, he illustrates how self-deceit can hinder our path to true conversion. The first son, though initially resistant, is honest, allowing room for transformation. On the other hand, the second son's agreeable facade leads to final resistance. This homily reminds us that sincerity is the key to change, and that we must be comfortable with being unfinished. God patiently waits for us, allowing us the time and space to grow and convert. Join us in exploring the journey from self-deception to embracing truth, and ultimately, becoming disciples who wholeheartedly say yes to God.
