HOMILY FOR THURSDAY THE FIFTEENTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR 1

Rest and other Attributes of God EXODUS 3:13-20; PSALM 105; MATTHEW 11:28-30 God’s attributes include gentleness and humility. He says; “learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart”. He went further to say, “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” […]

HOMILY FOR WEDNESDAY FIFTEENTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR 1 (OUR LADY OF MOUNT CARMEL)

BURNING BRIGHT, NOT BURNING OUT Exodus 3:1-6, 9-12; Psalm 103; Matthew 11:25-27 The Burning Bush reveals God’s miraculous presence, burning but not consumed. It reminds us that when God fuels our passion, we burn with purpose without burning out. With God as our fire, we are sustained, not scorched. In a world obsessed with overworking, […]

HOMILY FOR TUESDAY OF THE FIFTEENTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME (YEAR 1)

Blessed but doomed EXODUS 2:1-15; PSALM 69; MATTHEW 11:20-24 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida!” (Matt. 11:21). Jesus lamented over cities that saw miracles but refused to repent. Today, we witness the same tragedy: churches are packed, crusades are noisy, testimonies are loud; yet hearts remain hard. What is the point of miracles […]

HOMILY FOR MONDAY – 15TH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME, YEAR 1

Pressed But Not Crushed! Exodus 1:8-14, 22: Psalm 123; Matthew 10:34-11:1 A new king arose in Egypt who didn’t know Joseph. The result? Fear, oppression, and slavery. The Israelites were forced into hard labour. But here is the miracle, the more they were afflicted, the more they multiplied! Affliction couldn’t break them; it built them. […]

GOOD INTENTIONS NEED FINANCIAL BACKING!

The Good Samaritan wasn’t just kind, he had some money in his pocket to act! People don’t often remembers those who meant to help but couldn’t afford to.  Good intentions are powerful, but without resources, they remain dreams. ❤️Love without support is limited. Worship without service is empty 🫗 🫙  So, rise! Strive for wealth, […]

HOMILY FOR SUNDAY, 13 JULY 2025 – 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C

Help, Not Hinder Deuteronomy 30:10–14 | Psalm 69 / 19 | Colossians 1:15–20 | Luke 10:25–37 Be the Neighbour, Not the Bystander: The Parable of the Good Samaritan reminds us that love is not a concept—it’s an action. A man was left half-dead on the roadside, ignored by the priest and Levite who should have […]

HOMILY FOR SATURDAY THE FOURTEENTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR 1

When Hatred Backfires GENESIS 49:29-33, 50:15-26; PSALM 105; MATTHEW 10:24-38 Joseph’s story is proof that no attack, no envy, and no betrayal can stop God’s plan. His brothers hated him, plotted against him, and sold him out, but Joseph declared, “God turned the evil you meant against me for good” (Gen 50:20). What a turnaround! […]

HOMILY FOR FRIDAY THE FOURTEENTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR 1 (Memorial of St. Benedict, Abbot)

Jacob and Joseph’s reunion Genesis 46:1–7, 28–30 | Psalm 37 | Matthew 10:16–23 Jacob thought Joseph was dead, but what seemed lost was actually preserved by God. When father and son reunited in Egypt, it wasn’t just a family moment, it was a divine fulfillment.  That’s what heaven looks like when a soul returns home […]

HOMILY FOR THURSDAY OF THE FOURTEENTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME 1

Anointing Is Not for Sale GENESIS 44:18-21, 23-29, 45:1-5; PSALM 105; MATTHEW 10:7-15 Jesus charged the Twelve and us “You received without charge; give without charge.” (Matt. 10:8). Spiritual gifts are not earned; they are entrusted by grace. So why price what heaven gave for free? Ministry is a calling, not a commodity. Joseph didn’t […]
