Thirty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time 11/8/20 – Fr. Carlson homily
Everyone wants to be happy - that's just how we were made. Unfortunately, studies show that depression is skyrocketing in our country. We are made in the image and likeness of God so it makes sense that true happiness/fulfillment/joy can only come from Him.
Fr. Robert Spitzer is a Jesuit priest, speaker and author who has written on this subject of happiness (he even had a debate with Stephen Hawking on the existence of God). Fr. Spitzer identifies 4 levels of happiness that Fr. Carlson will break down in today's homily. We take a look at these four levels of where to find TRUE JOY and fulfillment
- Ultimate Good - Enduring
- Contribution - Long term
- Achievement - Short term
- Pleasure - Immediate
