Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time

0:01 A man came to Jesus and asked the question, 0:04 Good Master, 0:05 what must I do to inherit eternal life? 0:09 This person is representative 0:12 of the majority of people 0:14 who are searching for happiness and meaning in life, 0:19 including you and I. 0:22 What must I do? 0:24 That is a question 0:25 that we must ask regularly, 0:28 to evaluate what we are doing 0:30 and the goals we are aiming for. 0:34 This question also helps us look back at ourselves, 0:38 to realise the mission God wants us to carry out in life. 0:44 Living in this world, 0:45 each person has a mission to complete. 0:48 However, 0:50 to realise the true mission of life 0:52 is a difficult matter. 0:55 There are many people 0:57 who are struggling and holding many illusions, 1:01 so for a long time 1:03 they still have not determined their life mission. 1:07 What must I do to have eternal life? 1:11 To answer this question, 1:13 we need the gift of wisdom. 1:16 The first reading this weekend shows us 1:18 the necessity of the gift of wisdom. 1:22 According to the teachings of the Church, 1:25 the gift of wisdom is one of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. 1:30 This grace helps us see clearly 1:33 the nature of a thing or a person, 1:37 rather than observing it based on emotions 1:40 or external glamour. 1:43 Also, according to the teachings of the Church, 1:47 true wisdom is God. 1:50 That wisdom is personified in the incarnate Word, 1:54 Jesus Christ. 1:56 He is the wisdom of God. 1:58 He is the Savior of the world. 2:03 So friends, 2:04 believing in Jesus Christ is the key 2:07 to attaining wisdom and happiness in this life 2:11 and the next. 2:13 Enjoy your week!
