Carpe Diem
(Rev 14:14-19; Ps 96; Lk 21:5-11)
**********************************
A message offered us by the movie Dead Poet’s Societyis to Carpe Diem– to grasp the day, to make the most of our time each day.
Our liturgy today in this final week of ordinary time encourages us to make all our time here on earth quality time.
Every once in a while, we hear of “end times” scenarios which seem to stir up a certain excitement, buying of provisions, building of bunkers, etc. Our faith can free us from any such concern with its invitation to always be ready for the end times by living within the kingdom of God each and every day.
Richard Rohr OFM, spiritual writer and speaker, offers us a very helpful insight into making the most of our activities – “The way we do anything is the way we do everything.” So, changing one thing in our lives can influence everything else we do, and help us to better “Carpe Diem.”
Celebrating the Eucharist, our greatest prayer and our one great act of fidelity, as Ron Rolheiser writes, is truly living out Carpe Diem, making great use of our time.
So remember, Carpe Diem – let us strive to make all our time quality time living in the kingdom of God.
We spend our quality time by praise and worshipping in a busy life and even when we have a bit free time. We should spend about two hrs devoted to the Lord by praying, reading the bible , looking at a video that is about Jesus and God. If we have anything to ask Jesus we are to do it in our private moments. Even when we are doing something we can still praise the Lord. Amen
Well thanks for the homily and teachings spending time with Jesus Christ. We need to hear these teachings and those words. Amen Thanks for those awesome pictures. Bishop Sylvain Lavoie
