The 18th Sunday of the Year
Eccl 1:2 & 2:21-23; Col 3:11-5 & 9-11; Lk 12:13-21 (Year C)
"Make us know the shortness of our life, that we might gain wisdom of heart. In the morning fill us with your love, then shall we exult and rejoice all our days.”
The psalmist’s meditation is both a reflection on the brevity of life and a call to wisdom, a wisdom born of the heart’s deepest longing.
This wisdom of heart is a lifelong discernment of the attitudes, conscious and unconscious, that drive our daily lives. It is for us to discern what fills us with the joy of God’s presence and what distances us from his love.
