🧭 Don't Trust in Man: The Danger of Seeking Worldly Comforts (Fr. Mark Beard)

Father Mark Beard delivers a powerful homily based on the readings for the Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time, focusing on the biblical warning against putting our trust and hope in worldly power, wealth, or human wisdom (Jeremiah 17:5-8). He contrasts this fleeting reliance with the eternal security found only in Christ.

The Spiritual Warning:
The Folly of Worldly Trust: Father Beard exposes the danger of seeking security in financial comfort, political leaders, or earthly possessions—sources that will inevitably fail.

The Blessed and the Woe: He likely touches on the "Beatitudes" (Luke 6:17-26) which include both blessings ("Blessed are you who are poor...") and woes ("Woe to you who are rich..."), driving home the theme of spiritual detachment from the world.

The Call to the Eucharist: The only dependable source of strength and life is the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.

Where do you place your ultimate trust? Stop relying on man and commit your entire hope to God alone.
