Homily for Friday of the 32nd Week in Ordinary TIme
Description
The Gospel reminds us of the danger of becoming so consumed by our daily routines that we forget what truly matters. While it is essential to eat, drink, read, write, buy, sell, plant, build, and nurture our relationships, these activities alone cannot fulfill us.
There is a more profound purpose to our lives that extends beyond the mundane. Jesus referred to this as the "day of the Son of Man," a reality that is both imminent and eternal, one that should fill us with awe and reverence. The Lord is present in our daily lives, even in the most ordinary moments. We need to be aware of His presence and actively seek Him out. After all, the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we can experience His presence in our lives today.
Therefore, let us not become so preoccupied with our daily activities that we neglect our spiritual lives. Instead, let us keep the Lord at the center of our lives; in doing so, we will discover true fulfillment and purpose—a source of hope and motivation to guide us through our daily routines.
