H1 Batch Mass Homily

"Can we walk a straight

path if we can't see what's
ahead of us?"
 We can't walk straight
if we don't have a visible fixed
point in sight.
We literally
end up
walking in
circles.
What happens to us when we're
walking blindfolded applies to
the way we live.
 Jesus and the Pharisees
argue about the Sabbath
To honor God,
no Jew should do
any kind of work on
the Sabbath Day.
You were even
prohibited to help
people who need
help on the
Sabbath Day.
 Man was not made
for the Sabbath,
but the Sabbath
was made for man.

It was designed for the good of

people, not to cause suffering.
The blindfolded Pharisees
thought they were
walking a very straight
path towards God by
following laws very
strictly.
 They lost
sight of what
was most
important
FOR God.
students studying
 Just as we need a visible fixed
point if we want to walk straight,
we need an unchanging and
unmoving guide if we want to
live straight.
Most of us anchor
our decisions and
actions on things
that don't last.
We need to anchor our lives
more on long lasting values.
Is there a fixed point in
your life that doesn t
move or change?
