Homily Notes (Sun) July 30

“Do you understand all these things?” (Matthew 13:51)

Jesus’ question is an intensely personal and urgent inquiry. Restated, it means:

  • Do you understand that nothing and no one is more important than God?
  • Do you understand that life is short, death is certain, eternity is long and judgement is real?

Understanding happens through a personal encounter and deepening relationship with Jesus the Lord in the heart of His Church.

Understanding all that Jesus says results in my life being visibly different from all those who choose not to understand.

Pray humbly and confidently to the Holy Spirit, the Lord the Giver of Life, asking Him to help you see what really is important and what is not.
