Homily for Friday of the Second Week
of Advent (II) (11th December, 2015) on the Gospel
Is 48:17-19;
Ps 1:1-4.6. (R. cf. Jn 8:12)
Matt 11:16-19.
Topic: Utmost Importance.
Jesus compares this generation with children sitting in the
marketplaces and calling to one another, “We played the flute for you, and you
did not dance; we wailed, and you did not mourn” (cf. Matt 11:16-17). This comparison was based on their inability to
accept both John the Baptist and the Messiah irrespective of their life styles.
May be you have been worrying what you will do to please one
person or the other. I want to remind you that we are still in that generation
Jesus talks about in today’s gospel or even in a worse one. Both Jesus and His
forerunner were not bothered about this but that of Utmost Importance, doing
the will of God. So, listen to God and not to men, (cf. Acts 4:19) learn how to please God and not men, cf. 1Thess 4:1.
Bible Reading: Acts 4:1-22.
Thought for today: What is Utmost
Important to you?
Let us pray: Lord, help us to listen to you and
to please you alone – Amen.
