HOMILY | Wednesday of the 21st Week in Ordinary Time
Reading: 2 Thes 3:6-10, 16-18

St. Paul gives us a very practical and perhaps uncomfortable message today: “If anyone was unwilling to work, neither should that one eat.”

In simple words: Get up and do something good with your life.

One temptation today, especially among some of our young people, is idleness. Technology has made many things easier—and that is a blessing. But sometimes, because everything has become easier, we also begin to look for an easy life.

We want success without sacrifice. Money without hard work. Good grades without studying. A healthy body without exercise. And sometimes, even blessings without responsibility.

There is nothing wrong with resting. Rest is necessary. But rest and laziness are not the same. Rest restores us for work; laziness keeps us from doing the work we should do.

Sometimes we spend hours scrolling through the lives of other people while neglecting the life God has given us.

Young people, your future will not be built by scrolling. It will be built by showing up, learning, working, failing, trying again, praying, and persevering.

And parents, loving our children does not mean doing everything for them. Sometimes the best gift we can give them is responsibility. Let them help at home. Let them experience difficulty. Let them learn that not everything they want comes immediately.

THE TWO FARMERS

There is a simple story about two farmers who prayed for rain. Both asked God to bless their fields. But only one farmer went out and prepared the soil, planted the seeds, and worked the field.

When the rain finally came, only one field was ready to receive it.

Both prayed—but only one prepared.

My dear friends, pray for God’s blessing, but prepare your field.

God has given you talents, time, opportunities, strength, and people who believe in you. Do not waste them.

Especially to our young people: dream, pray, and hope—but also get up and work.

God can bless the work of your hands, but first, give Him something to bless.
