Jeremiah spoke the truth and was thrown into a cistern. Jesus lit a fire and went to the Cross. The readings this Sunday show us how their willingness to suffer gave credibility to their message. In this homily reflection for Aug. 17, 2025, the 20th Sunday of Ordinary Time, Archbishop Weisenburger invites us to ask ourselves: Do we speak boldly about the Gospel, even when it costs us?
