Pope Francis reflected on the readings from Mass of November 14, saying that basing our lives on Scripture is not an escape from the reality of today, but just the opposite.
"The Word of God warns us today: This world will pass away. And only love will remain," he said.

May Our Lady help us to make the important choices in life as she did: according to love, according to God.
