Preaching for the Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Mary C. McGinnity offers a reflection on overcoming our illusions about ourselves and the world and to act: "...We are challenged to look at the realities of those who suffer and address them. No illusions. We are challenged then to look at our own suffering and the sufferings of others and address them – address them properly. We are asked to look deeper, see beneath illusions and act with love and care. " Mary McGinnity is President and CEO of the Ignatian Volunteer Corps, a national service corps that enlists men and women over the age of 50 in service assignments in non-profit service agencies meeting needs of people in low-income communities across the US.
