Envy: The Joy-Stealing Sin | Fr. Will Rooney | 4th Sunday of Lent

On the Fourth Sunday of Lent, Fr. Will reflects on the healing of the man born blind and the deadly sin of envy. Beginning with the reality that inequalities exist in the world, this homily explores how comparison can become fertile soil for resentment, sorrow, and insecurity. Envy twists the desire for joy and communion, making another person’s good feel like our loss.
But the Gospel offers a different vision. In Christ, weakness can become the occasion for God’s glory, and the gifts of others can become a cause for rejoicing rather than sorrow. The antidote to envy is not pretending differences do not exist, but becoming secure in the abundant love of God.

We face difficult times. All of this can cause us to also reject that it is possible for us to rejoice at all times. But as Christians, this attitude comes with a problem. Saint Paul commanded us in the second reading to "Live always joyful, pray without ceasing, give thanks on every occasion." Brothers and sisters, how can we rejoice like Saint Paul?
