HOMILY FOR THE SOLEMNITY OF THE MOST SACRED HEART OF JESUS, YEAR C

Sacred Heart Ezekiel 34:11-16 / Psalm 22:1-6 / Romans 5:5-11 / Luke 15:3-7 The heart denotes the center of a person’s physical, emotional, and moral life.

HOMILY FOR THURSDAY OF THE TWELFTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME

NOT EVERY ‘LORD, LORD’ WILL ENTER Genesis 16:1–12, 15–16 | Psalm 105:1–5 | Matthew 7:21–29 Beloved, today Jesus confronts one of the most dangerous illusions in the Christian life: the illusion of spiritual performance without spiritual obedience.

Truth Be Your Trademark Acts 11:21–26; 13:1–3, Psalm 98, Matthew 5:33–37 “Let your ‘Yes’ mean ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No’ mean ‘No.’” Simple words from Jesus. But in a world overflowing with half-truths, broken promises, and empty talk, those words hit like lightning. Christ calls us to something bold and countercultural: radical honesty. This isn’t just […]

HOMILY FOR FRIDAY OF THE 10TH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME

He reveals something deeper, sin begins in the heart. It is not just what we do, but what we desire. Holiness is not about appearances or performance; it’s about the condition […]
