In this week's homily, we explore one of the more unsettling but necessary questions of the spiritual life: what happens when the routines, plans, and structures we rely on begin to crumble? The readings for the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time invite us to reflect on how Jesus invites us to find real stability, not in the things that look unshakable, but in the God who never wavers. We are called to honestly look at the fragility of life and see how perseverance, trust, and faithfulness can anchor us even when everything familiar starts to shift.
