Holy DaySpanishThe homily, delivered on the feast of St. Benedict, emphasizes the importance of discernment, prudence, and prayer in a world that often devours human beings with its distractions and material pursuits. Drawing parallels between St. Benedict's monastic life and contemporary challenges, the priest encourages listeners to make space for silence and encounter with God to discern what is truly good and convenient for their lives. He uses the metaphor of unmovable stones, illustrating that some obstacles can only be overcome through faith and prayer, not human effort.
