Homily for December 1, 2017.
“And to
him was given dominion and glory and kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and
languages should serve him...” Daniel 7:22.
Today we
read about the vision of Daniel. The key to understanding this vision of Daniel
is to take not of the phrase “Son of Man.”
When we
read the Gospels we would notice Jesus often referred to himself as “Son of
Man” an indication that not only was he aware of Daniel’s prophecy, he was
deliberately revealing himself to us as the Messiah.
Dear
friends, we cannot completely understand God. He is a mystery beyond every
comprehension and greater than what anyone can think of. Rather than try to
understand him, our Psalmist says “Sing praise to God and Highly Exalt Him
Forever.”
In our
Gospel passage this morning, Jesus gives us another reason why we should always
praise God. Even if heaven and earth pass away, my words will not pass away.
Let us pray:
Lord Jesus, draw me nearer to you always. Amen.
Happy New
Month. Be Happy. Live Positive. Have Faith. It is well with you. (Friday of the 34th week in
Ordinary Time. Bible Study: Daniel 7:2-14 and Luke 21:29-33).
