FRIDAY, 14 NOVEMBER 2025, Friday of Week 32 in Ordinary Time – Year C (I)
Readings at Mass
First Reading: Wisdom 13:1–9.
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 18(19):2–5 – The heavens proclaim the glory of God.
Gospel: Luke 17:26–37.
Main Point:
Live every day as if it were your last be ready for the Lord’s coming at any moment. (Luke 17:26–37)
Homily:
In today’s Gospel, Jesus reminds His disciples that the “day of the Son of Man” will come suddenly like in the days of Noah and Lot. People were busy with their daily routines eating, drinking, buying, building and did not notice how far they had drifted from God until it was too late.
The message is simple but urgent: be ready. The Kingdom of God is not a future event only; it is already among us, in every act of faith, love, and mercy. But the final coming of Christ will be sudden and only those who live each day faithfully will stand ready.
In practical life, this means we should not postpone conversion. For example, instead of saying, “I will forgive later” or “I will pray more when I have time,” Jesus calls us to do it now. Like Noah, who built the ark before the rain, we must live in readiness through daily prayer, charity, and repentance.
Way Forward:
•Live each day in gratitude and peace, as a gift from God.
•Let go of worldly attachments and stay faithful in small things.
•Be vigilant in prayer and ready to meet the Lord at any time.
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, help me to live each day ready for Your coming. Give me a faithful heart that seeks You above all things, so that when You come, I may be found watching and waiting in love. Amen.
