Homily for Friday of the 4th Week of Lent

In today’s Gospel, we are reminded that sometimes we become so preoccupied with searching for God in places where He is not present that we fail to see Him where He actually is. We may think that God only reveals Himself to us during specific times, situations, and religious practices, and we become disillusioned when we fail to see Him when tragedy strikes.

However, the truth is that God is with us all the time, even in the mundane aspects of our lives. He is present in the kindness and love that we show to others and that others show to us, in the daily events that we experience, and in the blessings that sustain our lives.

Let us pray that we may become aware of God's presence in every moment, circumstance, and action of our lives, and that our lives may reflect that presence.
