⏳ NOW vs. MOST: How to Win the Spiritual Battle of Priorities (Fr. Mark Beard)

Father Mark Beard delivers a powerful and direct homily on spiritual prioritization. He argues that the key to a successful spiritual life is recognizing the difference between your immediate, temporary desires and your ultimate, eternal goal. If you are constantly "too busy" for prayer, Mass, or the Sacraments, you are choosing the fleeting "Now" over the eternal "Most."

The Challenge:
The Reason for Trouble (0:03): The chaotic state of our lives is a result of spiritual neglect: "Nobody wants to pray."

The Five-Times-A-Day Test (0:08): He offers a simple spiritual discipline—praying five times a day (morning, night, and before meals)—as a measurable act of commitment.

Satan's Strategy (0:37): Father Beard reminds us that Satan runs this world and HATES you because you are made in God's image. He will use every distraction and chaos to make your life tumultuous and derail you.

The Final Choice (1:08): Every day, you choose between what you want NOW (comfort, distraction, immediate gratification) and what you want MOST (Heaven, peace, union with Christ).

Stop being "too busy" for Christ! Start prioritizing the spiritual life and choose what you want MOST today.
