Raise your hand if you have made plans and then canceled them at the last minute for no apparent reason. Millennials and Gen-Zers, are notorious for making plans and then canceling them. Because there is something within us that believes that what I say and promise doesn’t matter and doesn’t hold weight. We can get into much trouble, leading to a lack of conviction within our hearts.
Jesus, in this Sunday’s gospel, says, “Let your yeses be yeses, and your noes be noes.” Be convicted. Realize that what you say matters and that what you say is either the truth or a lie. The Father in heaven has given us speech, and he has given us a voice to speak the truth. And the truth is Jesus Christ. If we cannot follow through on little things like making plans, then how can we follow through on eternal things?

So, I asked both couples the same question: “Why did you choose this reading?” Couple number one responded, “Yeah, we chose this gospel because it was the shortest option.” And I was like, “Bruh.” The second couple replied, “We chose this gospel because God wants to remain with us…

Guard Your Time Well
So in the gospel today, a sower goes out to sow, and the sower throws seed down on the thorny ground, and the thorns choke the seeds so the seeds do not flourish. We are often thrown onto the thorny ground, and busyness is one of the big things that really chokes us. Busyness in our lives chokes our relationship with Jesus, and we do not…
