A Famine of the Word: Why We Must Choose the Better Part

In this powerful homily for Sunday, July 20th, Bishop Cei Dewar explores the spiritual crisis of our age through the lens of the lectionary readings: Amos 8, Psalm 52, Colossians 1, and Luke 10.

Why are so many surrounded by religion and yet starved of the Word?
What does it mean to be like a green olive tree in the house of God?
And in a world of busyness, how do we return to the feet of Christ and choose “the better part”?

Drawing on the prophetic insight of Amos, the cosmic vision of St. Paul, and the quiet wisdom of Mary in Bethany, this message weaves Scripture, Church Fathers, and deep theology into a call to repentance, rootedness, and renewal.
