Homilies about perspective

How to See God's Blessings in Your Everyday Life

Father John Eustace

The homily encourages a shift in perspective from focusing on daily complaints to recognizing God's blessings and presence. Using a personal story about his brother, the priest illustrates how easily we can overlook the positive impact we have on others and the good in our lives, urging listeners to adopt God's lens of seeing everything as 'good' and to actively bring that divine presence into the world.

Finding God's Will in Both Good and Bad Times

The homily uses an analogy of viewing art to explain how perspective changes our understanding of God's will. It challenges the presumption that God's will is always 'good' in a simplistic sense, suggesting that both good and bad events can be part of it, and that faith provides the necessary context to understand this broader perspective.
