How many times is life happening around us?

How many times is this a critical moment where just,

God is just saying, hey, show up and stay there

and you and I miss out?

My name is Father Mike Schmitz, and this is a Central Presents.

So we all know what FOMO is, right?

FOMO is the fear of missing out?

Yes, okay.

We all probably have it to some degree.

I think that there's some FOMO that causes us to do things that we shouldn't be doing, right?

There's some FOMO that takes us out of where we exactly should be and brings us somewhere else.

But the fear missing out is not only legit, it's actually probably right in a lot of cases.

Here's what I mean.

I have the genuine fear of missing out whenever I get to Holy Week, or even whenever I read the story of the passion of our Lord Jesus Christ

and there's the scene right so how does the passion start it starts with the Passover meal and so at the

Passover meal here the disciples I, to consider all that would go into that day is, you know, Jesus sends a couple disciples to get everything ready in the upper room,

but if you're going to be part of the Passover meal, there's a lot of work that goes into this.

Someone has to bring the lamb to the temple, offer that lamb as a sacrifice, skin the lamb,

get it all ready, bring it back to your place roast the lamb make all the food like unleavened

bread all these things a lot of work goes into the whole thing but then actually the

Passover itself is what well you eat a lot of roast lamb you eat a lot of unleavened bread you You drink a number of cups of wine. I mean this is actually a normal thing

when it comes to the Passover meal. After this what happens? Well we all know this.
