Eccl 1:2-11
Meditation
Meaningless! Meaningless!
“Meaningless!
Meaningless!” says the Teacher. “Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.”
What do people gain from all their labours at which they toil under the sun? Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever. The
sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises (Eccl 1:2-5).
In the world there is
nothing new the course of the sun, wind and the movements of the sea are the same.
Time passes, generations pass and the way of the world is the same. Time keeps
moving and as the ages pass everything will come to an end. But it is not the uselessness
of life and the world but the care to be taken to realize that we are mortal. Our life has
meaning and purpose only in the Lord.
What is the purpose of
our life?
Sts Cosmas and Damian
