Perhaps you are aware of the latest trends on social media. One that I am aware of is the claim that many men are dropping out of the dating scene and opting for single life, while many young women are either not interested in marriage, or if they are, they can’t find men. There are various reasons...from the disparaging of permanent relationships (marriage) and the promotion of cohabitation which has no guarantees of security, no fault divorce – in which custody battles for children and money can go on for years – promiscuity, pornography, the promotion of beauty above character, and the erosion of parental rights. I believe these claims, as I see many Millennials who are unmarried.

The following homily is based on Luke 6:36-38, the Gospel reading for March 17th, 2025:
Jesus said to his diciples:
"Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful."Stop judging and you will not be judged.
Stop condemning and you will not be condemned.
Forgive and you will be forgiven.
Give and gifts will be given to you;
a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing,
will be poured into your lap.
For the measure with which you measure
will in return be measured out to you."

The words spoken by Jesus in Luke 6:31 and Matthew 7:12 “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”, is generally referred to as the ‘Golden Rule’.

Not so long ago we were reading the words that the angel spoke to the shepherds on that first Christmas morning, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people” (Luke 2:10). For “good news” to be good news it must contrast with some bad news.
