Homily for Friday of the 29th Week in Ordinary Time

Here New England, we often discuss the weather due to its rapid and sometimes unpredictable changes.

The people of Jesus' time were also very attuned to the weather and could predict it based on signs in the earth and sky. However, as mentioned in today's Gospel passage, they failed to recognize God's presence in the teachings and actions of Jesus. 

Likewise, we may be adept at predicting the weather but struggle to perceive the presence of the Lord in our daily lives. Jesus promised to always be with us, and although the signs of His presence may be subtle, they are very real. 

Let us pray for a greater spiritual insight and a better awareness of the Lord's presence in our daily lives.
