“I would like to thank Fr. Mike Schmitz for his insights on the heart and his imagery from The Wizard of Oz which greatly impacted my homily this weekend!”
DISCLAIMER: I had said that they were 153 different nationalities at the time of Jesus. I was quoting Saint Jerome but made a mistake. It was thought at the time of Jesus there were 153 species of fish on the earth not different nationalities. Hence the disciples caught 153 fish, signifying that people of every class and time would be saved through the gospel!
On Sunday, I said we all are terrible at knowing the Scriptures. Apparently, even I am, haha! I said that in Daniel, Chapter 5, King Nebuchadnezzar threw a party and used vessels from the temple in Jerusalem. This is incorrect! It was not Nebuchadnezzar, but rather his son, King Belshazzar.
“ I made a mistake in this homily. Wayne Gretzky does not have more goals than any other player has points in the NHL. However, he does lead the NHL in most goals ever scored and has 1000 more points than any other player has ever had in the history of the NHL.”
