Reflecting on the Gospel reading where Jesus challenges the religious leaders to "read the signs of the times" (Luke 12:54-56). Connecting this to St. John XXIII and Vatican II, he explores how we are called to discern the authenticity of information in our modern world, especially regarding social media and AI, encouraging viewers to test what they hear against the teachings of Jesus and the lives of the saints.
