By Father Timothy McGowan
"Change can be our friend when we see it as a stimulant that will not allow us to fall asleep in a way of life that is far less than God's plan," Father Tim McGowan tells us for the 38th episode of our Sunday Homilies podcast, and our celebration of the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time — the penultimate Sunday of the 2024 liturgical year. "As followers of Jesus, we take a positive attitude toward change because we call ourselves followers of Jesus. If there was anything that Jesus never was, and never showed any inclination to become, it was to be a defender of the status quo. He was in fact, the exact opposite."
