Homilies about mortality

From Fleeting Flowers to Eternal Life: The Promise of the Eucharist

The homily uses the analogy of annuals and perennials to discuss human mortality, comparing our fleeting lives to flowers that blossom and wither. It then uses the image of a mountain rock to illustrate the brevity of human existence against geological time. The core message is that the Eucharist offers a way to overcome this mortality and live forever, transforming our brief 'dot' of life into an eternal 'line'.
