HOMILY FOR MASS OF THE 22ND SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME YEAR B

English sci-fi writer, John Wyndham, is best known for novels like The Day of the Triffids and The Village of the Damned. But short stories were really his thing. In one, entitled “The Wheel”, a young boy playing in the yard discovers pulling his cart is easier if he attaches turning round bits of wood to it. Though he doesn’t know the word for it, he has literally reinvented the wheel. When he proudly shows his family, his mother screams and the others herd him into a shed with pitchforks.
