Father Sean's Weekly Message
August 03, 2025
"In the first reading Qoheleth recognizes the vanity of laboring, toiling, and acquiring. It is an expression of what life would be like apart from the presence of God. Sorrow, grief, and restlessness would seem to be all there is. On the other hand, Jesus teaches us to be 'rich in what matters to God.' What does matter to God? That we number our days aright and grow in wisdom of heart. We do not have to do that on our own, for we receive those graces at baptism, by which we have died, and our life is hidden with Christ in God. Life's richness, then, consists in seeking the One who is above, and claiming the new self that we receive through him, for Christ is all. Our treasure lies in claiming Christ our life, who has appeared." (Magnificat August 2025, pg. 48)
