“I have seen all things that are done under the sun, and behold all is vanity, and vexation of spirit.”
Reflection for Today
Let Ecclesiastes 1:14 speak first, before our plans and worries do: “I have seen all things that are done under the sun, and behold all is vanity, and vexation of spirit.”
Scripture rarely flatters us. It loves us enough to tell the truth, and then it stays with us while we learn to live that truth. Ecclesiastes belongs to the wisdom books, where faith meets daily decisions. Holiness is not only for extraordinary moments; it is learned in ordinary choices.
If nothing else remains from this page, let one phrase of Ecclesiastes 1:14 remain. Pray a decade of the Rosary with this verse in mind. Ask Mary to teach you how to keep God's word and ponder it, as she did.
Prayer
Lord God, thank You for speaking through Ecclesiastes 1:14. You said, “I have seen all things that are done under the sun, and behold all is vanity, and…” I do not want to rush past these words. Quiet my mind, warm my heart, and help me live what I have heard with faith, hope, and charity. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
