09/01/19 Oh, Vanity

Homily from the Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time.

The high price of vanity.

It is easy to think of vanity as nothing more than being conceited or overly concerned about one’s appearance. But the vice of vanity comes at a cost: A person could even find themselves living someone else’s life.
