How not to complain: Homily for Tuesday, March 28, 2023

I will not lie. I would have been one of the Israelites complaining in the desert. I complain. Not all the time, mind you. But I do complain. When it come to the spiritual life, it is often because I have forgotten all of the tremendous blessings God has bestowed upon me in my life. See, God is really good to me. But all too often, I let a minor inconvenience get in the way of my recognition of all that God has done for me. In everything, I need to remember that Jesus was lifted up so I could be saved. So do you.

How not to complain

I will not lie. I would have been one of the Israelites giving Moses a hard time in the desert. I complain. Not all the time, mind you. But I do complain. When it come to the spiritual life, it is often because I have forgotten all of the tremendous blessings God has bestowed upon me in my life. See, God is really good to me. But all too often, I let a minor inconvenience get in the way of my recognition of all that God has done for me. In everything, I need to remember that Jesus was lifted up so I could be saved. So do you.
