Homily for Friday of the 26th Week in Ordinary Time
Description
The people of Chorazin and Bethsaida did not understand the importance of Jesus when He was with them. They ignored His ability to heal and didn’t take him seriously. We can be like them because sometimes we miss how God is working in our lives. His presence often shows up in simple, everyday moments. It could be an unexpected kindness from a stranger, a surprise invitation, a kind word when we need encouragement, or someone being generous when we ask for help.
Jesus is with us through other people. He says, “Whoever listens to you listens to me.” But we don’t always see His presence, even though He is with us in many ways.
At the end of each day, it can be helpful to reflect on our day and acknowledge how God has been present to us. Taking a moment to say thank you for these experiences can keep us aware of and grateful for His constant and unending presence.
