WATCH: This Sunday, Are You a Part-Time Christian?

Many of us only want to follow God when it’s convenient. Today’s readings offer a better way. Father Meinrad Miller OSB gives the message for this Sunday, Sept. 3, the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Father Meinrad is a monk of St. Benedict’s Abbey and a theology instructor at Benedictine College.

St. Benedict Abbey’s 60 Seconds for Sunday series looks at each upcoming Sunday’s readings.

The monks at the Abbey, along with the Benedictine Sisters at Mount St. Scholastica, are what make Benedictine College in Atchison, Kan., Benedictine.
