Be Ready, Be Responsible - 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Jesus’ words in Luke 12:32-48 cut through the excuses we often make for delaying holiness: “Be ready… for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.” In this homily for the 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Fr. Tom challenges us to shake off the spiritual autopilot that can plague us and strive to live as faithful stewards of the gifts God has entrusted to us. Jesus calls us to live each day with purpose, courage, and readiness for the Master’s return because we never know when that might happen.
