Let’s evaluate ourselves, let’s look at our life so far.
We think it is the last day of the civil year, but we look forward to it being New Year’s Eve. We used to have fun. But here in the church, there is an opportunity to think seriously. About what? – How do we live? Above the priorities of life. Over how we use the time we have received a gift from God.
The old sundial reads, “God has given man time, but he has said nothing about a rush.” Let ourselves and those around us ask: Why the rush? Time, your salvation, and your happiness on earth, and just the last day of the year is the time to realize something.
On this last day of the year, John the Apostle reminds us that out of Jesus’ love, “we have all received grace after grace” (Johan 1:16). Many associates the word “grace” only with the reduction of punishment associated with amnesty. The word grace in the realm of faith means a gift—a gift we received without claiming it. God the Father sent us his Son, as St. John the Apostle in the opening hymn, the prologue, to become a light for us. The history of the world, of man after the first sin, is figuratively speaking, immersed in darkness. We would never know what God has prepared for man if, in his love, God himself had not told us through the prophets, the saints. Especially through our Son, Jesus Christ, we have learned the truth of what sin means, eternal life, what is the meaning of life. And this is the gift, the grace that the Gospels have reminded us of for two thousand years, the Church announces, and what we are to remember on the last day of the year. God gives us His gifts, “graces,” so that we may have hope for eternal life.
An old proverb says, “A good road to hell is a good plan!” Yes, we do not want to spoil the mood of this day. In Commitments, words are not enough.
On New Year’s Eve, a young man regularly throws out a lighter and a cigarette with the words. “I’m definitely quitting now.” What do you think? How long does it take not to smoke? To the Three Kings. A week. Maybe a saying about commitment, the road to hell is hard. It’s not just alcoholics, overeating at bedtime, black rides, or deceiving parents. Let’s remember our spiritual life. Regular prayer is meant to be a reinforcement for life. We have made it material for confession, and Friday’s fast is meant to help us practice self-control, numbness, work on ourselves, and turn it into jokes, teasing. Slander, underestimation, God has commanded us to honor his name, and what if we have nothing to honor?
