02/15/26 Put Your Heart Into It

The homily centers on the idea of not just fulfilling tasks, but doing so with one's whole heart and with love. It explores how people often approach tasks with a focus on doing the minimum, with resistance, or merely enduring them. Drawing from the Sermon on the Mount, the speaker emphasizes that Jesus calls for more than just adhering to the letter of the law; he wants individuals to root out negative emotions like anger and lust, and approach tasks as if love is the point. The speaker uses a personal anecdote about working at a summer camp and observing a fellow counselor who put his heart into his work, positively impacting the campers. The message encourages listeners to find freedom and joy in their daily duties by seeing them as opportunities to express love and align with God's will.
