Sep 22 - Homily for Today

+ It is interesting to note that it was specific to the time at which it was written that the writer of the Book of Ecclesiastes says “vanity of vanities, all things are vanity…there is nothing new under the sun.” We must remember that these sayings reflect the general mood of the Old Testament time that was waiting and longing for the coming of the Messiah and Lord. Everything was not only boring for them, it was also wrapped in darkness, and shrouded in overwhelming mystery.

Certain lights came forth during that time – like King David, and others – to keep the wandering people on the right path. The prophets too had the job of shining a light in the darkness of ignorance and error.

In every age, the Lord is our refuge, no less today.

But today, with the coming of the Lord, vanity has vanished, and everything is new every day. “The Spirit blows where it wills” and who knows what great things it will do in the lives of the saints each day.

So long as we stay plugged into the sources of the Spirt-flow – the grace coming from the Church of Christ – then we will have the light of life, and our days will be filled with variety, substance and joy!


Fill us at daybreak with your kindness, Lord, what we may shout for joy and gladness all our days.
