A powerful week of faith, trust, and yes, mulberry trees in the sea.
On this week’s All Set for Sunday, we’re joined by a returning favorite, Fr. Jerry Byrd, who’s back in the city and bringing a whole lot of rural wisdom with him. It’s the Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time, and while his parish is celebrating the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, Fr. Byrd still walks us through what we would’ve heard in the pews and what it means for our hearts.
💬 Key Takeaways:
-
Habakkuk (1:2–3; 2:2–4) reminds us that God’s answers often require patience and trust. Even when the world looks bleak, “the just one, because of his faith, shall live.”
-
2 Timothy (1:6–8, 13–14) calls us to boldness, not timidity. Paul encourages us to stir up the gifts we’ve received and to be confident in our mission.
-
Luke 17:5–10? Jesus drops a zinger: faith the size of a mustard seed could uproot a tree and plant it in the sea. But the heart of this Gospel is simple obedience—serving without needing applause.
Fr. Byrd’s insights hit home:
-
God doesn’t ask us to earn His love, just to trust and serve.
-
Obedience isn’t about impressing, it’s about receiving grace through humble faith.
-
And that mustard seed? It’s all we need to start.
