Thirty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time

Do I live an orderly life? In other words, am I practicing the four cardinal virtues, enlightened by the Gospel and strengthened by grace:

• Prudence (seeing what God wants me to do),
• Justice (doing what God wants me to do),
• Fortitude (courage and toughness when fear or weakness are obstacles to doing what God wants me to do), and
• Temperance (self-control when some pleasure tempts me not to do what God wants me to do)?

The foci, appropriate for the near-end of the liturgical year, are

• Central Idea: Our period of salvation history and how we are to live in it.
• Doctrine: The Second Coming of Christ and the Final Judgment.
• Practical Application: How to live in this age.
