Our Actions, Our Love

Carmelite homily for Wednesday, November 27, 2019 – Lectionary 505

In today’s Gospel Jesus warns us that they will haul us before kings and governors and into prisons, but not to prepare a defense beforehand for he will give us a wisdom with which to speak.  I think that wisdom is our actions.  That’s what Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity says, “By our actions we tell him of our love.”  That is our defense – our actions, our love.  “By our actions we tell him of our love.”
