28 Nov • Black Friday or Holy Friday? Making Spiritual Resolutions
Description:
As the world rushes out for Black Friday shopping, the Church invites us to pause and reflect. In this episode of "A Word of Hope," Fr. Yamil Samot Rivera, OP joins us from Puerto Rico to mark the final days of the Liturgical Year.
Reflecting on Luke 21, Fr. Yamil discusses the "End Times" and the call to discernment. While commerce focuses on material goods that pass away, Jesus reminds us that his Word remains forever. Just as we make resolutions for the calendar New Year, Fr. Yamil challenges us to make "Resolutions of Holiness" for the Liturgical New Year beginning this Advent.
🇪🇸 Note: This video concludes with a brief summary in Spanish.
