The World Doesn't Need More BUSY Catholics - Catholic Homily

Are you just "checking the boxes" of your faith? Going to Mass, saying the prayers, avoiding the big sins—but feeling spiritually stagnant? In this pre-Lent homily, we confront the uncomfortable truth: Jesus isn't impressed by surface-level obedience. As we stand on the threshold of Lent, we explore the difference between the "righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees" (external rules) and the radical heart transplant Jesus offers. We discuss why many of us secretly avoid a true encounter with God—because when we truly meet Him, He demands transformation. And change is scary. If you're tired of being a "busy" Catholic and want to become a "holy" one, this message is for you. Learn how to move from a religion of "fire and water" choices to a relationship of deep, interior freedom.
