The texts from the Roman Catholic Lectionary today invite us to wrestle with the difference in the logic and understanding of timeliness in the Will of God. The verses from the Book of Ecclesiastes resonate with people of the generation now in their 60’s. A perspective of the older generation on the passing of time and the events of life is shared by Tom Purcell. Experience reveals that God has a plan which we will struggle to comprehend but in our decision to go with the Will of God, Friar Jude reminds us, we will find peace. We may join Peter in surprise over the Divine logic which gives us Life in Jesus not to overcome political bondage as Davidic king but to call us to an intimate relationship in which we will abandon our bondage to sin. The disciple who lives daily in temporal reality is challenged to be present in the moment to God and others while maintaining the trust that the plans of God for us exist in a universe that is infinite and eternal through experience of Love that is timeless.
