📅 Commit Today! Don't Put Your Faith Off Until Tomorrow (Fr. Mark Beard)

Father Mark Beard delivers a sharp, direct homily, warning the faithful against the spiritual danger of procrastination and wavering. He insists that faith is an absolute commitment that must be made today, not tomorrow.

The Danger of Postponing Faith
The Fence-Walker (0:01): Father Beard warns against being a "fence-walker"—a believer who attempts to remain undecided, enjoying the world while still expecting God's reward. He asks, "Are you in or are you out?"

Today is the Only Day (0:18): He uses the analogy of time to stress urgency: "There's only two days you should worry about: today and tomorrow." However, since you don't know if you'll see tomorrow, the only time that matters is today.

The Decision Must Be Made (0:45): You cannot put off the definitive choice to follow Christ. You must decide whether the Church's teachings are true or untrue and commit to that belief, rather than waiting for an easier time or a more certain sign.

The Non-Negotiable Commitment
The Eucharist is the Test (1:02): The ultimate test of your faith is your commitment to the Eucharist. If you believe the Host is the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Christ, your conduct must reflect that non-negotiable truth.

Stop the Excuses (1:11): He concludes by challenging the excuses: Stop saying you'll start praying, reading Scripture, or going to Adoration tomorrow. The time to make your faith the absolute priority is now.

Stop waiting for tomorrow! Make the definitive choice for Christ and start living your faith fully today.
