Homily from the Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time.
The difference between giving up and surrender is one word: trust.
There are so many circumstances in life that are beyond our control. We can easily feel powerless as we realize that we cannot control all outcomes. Christ's words in the Gospel might look like giving up, but they are something vastly different...and far more hopeful.
