  • Summary

  • Today's readings:

    • First reading: Ecclesiastes 11:9–12:8
    • Gospel: Luke 9:43b-45


    In today’s First Reading from Ecclesiastes, we hear a poetic reflection on the fleeting nature of youth and life itself. The text urges us to enjoy the present but always remember our accountability before God. The imagery of aging and the eventual return of "dust to the earth" is a sober reminder of the brevity of life. This encourages us to seek meaning and purpose beyond mere earthly pursuits, looking towards our eternal relationship with God.

    In the Gospel, Jesus forewarns his disciples of his impending suffering, but they struggle to grasp its significance. This hidden message of Christ’s Passion reminds us that there are moments in life when we may not fully understand God’s plan. Yet, we are called to trust in his wisdom, even when it involves difficulty or sacrifice.

    Both readings highlight the importance of mindfulness—living with awareness of the shortness of life while also recognizing the profound mystery of God's plan. They invite us to embrace our faith deeply, finding joy in the present but always looking toward our ultimate end in God.



    Warm Regards, The Guardian & Talisman
