Preaching for the Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time, Dr. Julie Welborn offers a reflection on our call to be on the watch -- for ourselves and for one another:
"When we engender these kind of healthy relationships; when we sharpen others and allow others to sharpen us, in the end we become better people, and position ourselves to be available to represent and serve God."
