Homily (Reflection) for Thursday of
the Thirty-Second Week in Ordinary Time (I) (16th November, 2017) on
the Gospel
Wis 7:22–8:1;
Ps 118:89-91.130.135.175. (R.v.89);
Lk 17:20-25.
Topic: Today and Tomorrow.
The Pharisees asked Jesus in today’s gospel when the kingdom
of God was coming. He replied them, “The kingdom of God is not coming with
things that can be observed; nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There
it is!’ For, in fact, the kingdom of God is among you.”
Often many keep procrastinating when they will do one good
thing or another especially repentance. We keep waiting for the favourable
time. Regrettably, most often that so much wanted favourable time never came. Many
do end up in regrets; ‘If I had known’. Hence, Jesus said to His disciples in
today’s gospel, “The days are coming when you will long to see one of the days
of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.”
Dear friends in the Lord, stop procrastinating. God has
blessed each and every one of us so much for every good work, cf. Matt 7:11; 2Cor 9:8. No one is sure of
the next minute. Whatever good each wants to do needs to be done now. Things may
not be the way one wants them for a particular good work, but everything is as
God wants them for every good work. Act now.
Bible Reading: 2Tim 3:10-17.
Thought for today: You are sure of only now.
Let us pray: Lord, open our eyes to see how
greatly you blessed us for every good work – Amen.
