Homily from the Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time. Offering first-fruits reveals and increases the depth of trust. The temptation to experience worship as hollow or empty is universal.  God’s solution for our hearts is the invitation to offer Him our first-fruits.  Sacrifices that are intentional, consequential, and representational have the power to transform our hearts and fill up what might be hollow worship.
