Homily given by Fr. Rankin on the 20th Sunday after Pentecost. Fr. Rankin spoke on the culture of death in our society and how it runs against the Gospel reading proclaimed at the Divine Liturgy. Fr. Rankin used the story of Fr. Paulo and Fr. Felipe Lizama, twin brothers recently ordained to the priesthood. Their mother was told that the baby in her womb was growing to be seriously deformed, with three arms and two heads. and was encouraged by the doctor to have an abortion. Their mother chose to accept the gift of the child, which turned out to be two healthy boys who are now priests for Jesus Christ.
