Today's Scripture can be read at www.usccb.org/nab
As we move through life, we all encounter various "wake-up calls" that force us to evaluate our priorities and to realize deeper realites about life. Even a very elderly person will say that life is brief; this realization of life's briefness and fragility can help a person put "first things first" as one evaluates personal accomplishments and values.
God's Word shouts out this not-so-welcome reminder this week as we hear the "all is vanity" (Ecclesiastes) and we hear of the plans that are not fulfilled because of death (Luke). While this message is not easy to hear, it is a reality.
As Paul reminds us (Colossians) we are challenged to let God's love influence our perspective and our priorities.
This week we might want to think of what is important in our lives and how significant some of our actions actually are.
