Homily for Sunday Ordinary 29 B
James Carroll, in his new memoir, \u201cThe Truth at the Heart of the Lie,\u201d recalls this experience. \xa0On his first visit to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, he was taken aback by the rudely jostling pilgrims fighting for the best places. When he returned a few days later, he saw it with new eyes:
\u201cI saw for the first time what it actually meant that Jesus Christ was a human being, in the thick of human life, with all its chaos, treason and ruined dreams. The Holy Sepulcher, as I saw it now, was a sacrament of Christ\u2019s part in our human condition.\u201d
