Today's Scripture can be read at www.usccb.org/nab
It seems that since earliest times people have had a sense of what comprises "the good life" as promoted by trends of their day. (See today's readings from Amos and Luke to see examples.) Yet in the end, many of these values are mere momentary pleasures.
As God's Word reminds us again today, life as we know it will end someday. Now is the time to look at the ways that we spend our time, talent, and treasure; now is the time to see how meanigful our priorites are.
"Godliness, faith, love, patience and gentleness" as suggested in the Letter to Timothy are good beginnings as we evaluate the direction of our lives.
To think about: Consider where and how you spend your time, talent and energy. Do you find this meaningful for you? Can you do one thing to change your focus?
To do: Find one way to put "faith, love, patience or gentleness" into practice each day.
To pray: "Make us your own.. now is the time"
