In this homily given at St. Herman Church, Fr. Matthew Howell talks about the desperation we need to have in our faith in order to move closer to Christ and beg for healing. This desperation is not a hopelessness, but instead is an answer to our listlessness that lulls us into inaction in our faith. The woman with the flow of blood and Jairus the ruler of the synagogue both display this desperation in their interactions with Christ (Luke 8:41-56). Along the way, Fr. Matthew references a pep talk from Dave Ramsey.
