The Lord Asks Us to Pay Attention to Him!

Fr. Hugh Gillespie, SMM

The Lord Asks Us to Pay Attention to Him!

 

In  the first reading (not included within this audio set), we hear a number of statements that anticipates (by nearly 800 years) what happens in the events of Good Friday!

The prophet proclaims the injustice and shallow worship of the northern kingdom in Israel. The Prophet Amos looks to the events of Good Friday. He also talks of things to come down to our present day!

He talks about Christians in terms of what happens on Sunday. The prophet says its curious on Feast days, many Christians count down the time until it’s over. Today, many Christians can’t wait until Mass is over. Christians in the time of the prophet and even today believe they have more important things to do and are anxious to begin those activities even before Mass ends. The prophet says it doesn’t manner how you worship, if your heart is not right. Hear more in this Homily and its impact on us today.

Today is the First Friday of the month. It is also the day of First Friday Devotion. What does the Lord ask of us? The Lord asks for extra time to be set aside to be with Him! The Lord Asks Us to Pay Attention to Him!

What does that really mean? Listen to this Meditation Media.
