We can glean three very important, and truly Catholic, spiritual lessons from today’s gospel. These three spiritual truths are of great practical help in our personal sanctification and in facing the terrible crisis of faith within the Church today. [1] Fix your mind and heart on eternity. [2] Strive in all things to conform yourself to the holy will of God. [3] Meditate upon the grandeur and majesty of God and your own misery and nothingness. One of the distinguishing characteristics of society in our time is mockery and hostility towards the things of God. Our faith is opposed to the world and so we must be very wary of any attempt to ‘harmonize’ the faith with the ways and culture of the world. The Catholic perspective is always one of eternity, of accepting all things as from the hand of God, and of great humility.
