I did not write this homily, but I need to hear it. It seems to go right along with what the Emergent conversation was today in Tulsa.
The homily focused on humility as a natural bi-product of holiness, and of true discernment. 
It is humility that allows us to stay in relationship with those who disagree with us. It is humility that allows us to say "I think that you are wrong, but that does not make you a worse American, Christian, or Human Being than me." It is humility allows us to admit that none of us knows the depths of the mind of God, and that it may in fact be we who are wrong. Humility also allows us to stand up for what we believe in with passion, while never demonizing or diminishing our personal, spiritual, or political adversaries. Humility reminds us to always remember who we are to God, and therefore who we are to each other.
Humility is the language of one dying human to another, both at the foot of the Cross.
Lord, this day and every day, help me to seek justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with You.
Beautiful!
