Found Wanting (Homily – November 26, 2025)

Wednesday of the 34th Week in Ordinary Time
November 26, 2025
Saint Edward Catholic Church • Richard, Louisiana

In today’s readings, Daniel confronts King Belshazzar with a haunting truth. What has been neglected eventually reveals itself. “You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.” Jesus gives the same warning from another angle and pairs it with a promise. Our lives will be tested, yet He remains with us in every trial.

One line stands at the center of this homily: Perseverance is not willpower. Perseverance is communion with Him.

Gospel: Luke 21:12–19
Homilist: Rev. Korey R. LaVergne
