Faithfulness Like Mary in Every Present Moment – Dec 10 – Homily – Fr Matthias

 

Fr Matthias gave the homily at Bloomington, IN, on Dec 10, 2024, on how the miraculous story of Mary’s house at Loreto points to God’s providence, reminding us of the eternal value of every fleeting moment, urging us to live attentively and faithfully like Mary.

Father spoke about the Memorial of Our Lady of Loreto, focusing on the miraculous story of Mary’s house, now preserved in Loreto, Italy. It’s believed angels helped move this holy site to save it from destruction. This miracle highlights how special moments and places can have eternal importance. He encouraged living fully in the present moment, making the most of every opportunity, especially at Mass. Just like the Incarnation of Jesus, where God became human in a single moment, how we spend our time impacts eternity. He urged us to trust God’s providence and follow Mary’s example of faithfulness.
