The following is the homily I delivered at our school Mass yesterday. We used the Gospel reading for the day - the feast of St. Andrew (Matthew 4:18-22). For the first reading, we used a passage from Proverbs, chosen by representatives from the sophomore class. Sophomore class rings were blessed and distributed after Mass, so this was a special Mass for the Class of 2019.
