Saturday of the 34th Week in Ordinary Time reflects the quiet pause before a new liturgical year begins. Today’s Gospel from Luke 21 warns about the slow drift of the heart and the danger of becoming spiritually drowsy. Daniel’s vision reminds us that despite the shaking of the world, the Kingdom already belongs to the holy ones of God. 
 
This homily names the subtle temptations that weary the soul and shows how the Eucharist awakens us again. “The Kingdom is not collapsing. It is already on its way.” 
 
Preached at Saint Edward Catholic Church in Richard, LA.
