Today, I give you two versions of the same homily. Based on Matthew 13:1-23, I talk about allowing Jesus to clean up our whole heart.

At the 10:30 a.m. Mass on Sunday, July 9, 2023, I gave this version at St. Pius X, part of the Blue Hills Collaborative, in Milton, Mass. I enjoyed celebrating Mass at the parish that I served as a deacon in 2022.

At the 5:30 p.m. Mass on Sunday, July 9, 2023, I gave this version at the St. Francis Chapel at the Prudential Center in Boston.

God bless.
