Blog Post 12/02/2023 Salesian Saturday at OLPH

 

Homily Cycle I - 12/02/2023 Offered at OLPH.

Readings: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/120223.cfm

 

Advent starts tomorrow, it is a Season of Hope and a Season of Introspection/Preparation.  So today we can get a head start on the Introspection part of Advent.

God sent us into the world to share God’s goodness by living the Gospel.  In our first reading Daniel is terrified by his visions; visions of the end times.

In our gospel Jesus reminds us to be vigilant and not be anxious about our day to day life and our Responsorial Psalm encourages us to give glory and eternal praise to God and to bless the Lord.

We can sum up today’s message with three ideas:

1.    The End will come.

2.    We should be vigilant.

3.    Our lives should bless the Lord by sharing God’s goodness.

Take some time today reflect on how you can be vigilant while you share God’s goodness with the end in mind.

 

May God Be Praised.
