Your words today, O Lord through St. Paul speak directly to us in this time too:
O stupid Galatians! Who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus was publicly portrayed as crucified? (Galatians 3:1)
O how we your people hate to hear those words these days because they are hurtfully true - it is plain stupidity on our part to abandon all your teachings to adopt all these strange ideas about life that overstretch our rights without any regard to what is true and good; to insist that only matter matters without accepting the fact that the most profound realities in life are those felt than seen; and, to believe more in ourselves than in you, Lord Jesus Christ.
We have been so bewitched, enthralled, and amazed by new ideas and beliefs that are clearly self-serving and untrue, "budol" or fake in every sense, totally forgetting how you have never left nor abandon us all these years through thick and thin, doing only what is best and good for us only to follow the fascinating special effects of those trash peddled in social media, fabricated by AI.
Awaken us, dear Jesus to the realities of your loving presence in us, in our lives, to follow our hearts where we find peace and joy despite pains and sacrifices than follow our flesh and whims of pleasures and convenience so temporary, ephemeral, most of all superficial; ignite our hearts to seek and follow you in a life of prayer that changes primarily us, not the situations. Amen.
