Your Plan Absolutely Doesn't Matter: Homily for Thursday, November 10, 2022

How often do we want to know in life exactly what the plan is? In other words, we want to know what it going to happen, either good or bad, and we want to have control over how it happens. But as is often the case, the most important parts of our lives, there really is not "your plan." Husbands and wives promise to be together, but they do not really have a plan. When children arrive in the lives of a couple, they really do not know exactly how things will go. And what's more, "your plan" may in fact be something that really is not so good after all. The most important part for us is that God has the plan, and we simply need to discover it.
