The Beatitudes: Our Attitude Zephaniah 2:3,3:12-13/Psalm 145:6-10/1 Corinthians 1:26-31/Matthew 5:1-12 In today’s gospel Christ gives us the beatitudes. The beatitudes are Christ’s commentary on our attitude. These short phrases give us the perfect outline for authentic Christian life. Attitude is everything, and the right attitude makes all the difference. Let us improve on ourselves and […]

David’s Storm 2 Samuel 12:1-7,10-17, Psalm  50:12-17, Mark 4:35-41 In life, we are often quick to judge other people’s sins while defending our own. Judge for others and layers for ourselves. In 2 Samuel 12, David was furious at an injustice story until Nathan said, “You are the man.” David’s hidden sin did not remain […]

The Battle Field  2 Samuel 11:1-10, 13-17; Psalm 50; Mark 4:26-34. David was a chosen king, victorious in battle, yet his fall began with an unguarded moment. “At the time when kings go out to battle… David remained in Jerusalem” (2 Samuel 11:1). Idleness opened the door, sight ignited desire, and desire matured into sin. […]

LET YOUR LIGHT BE SEEN  2 Samuel 7:18-19, 24-29; Psalm 132; Mark 4:21-25. Today’s gospel presents us with a simple question: “Is a lamp brought in to be put under a bed or under a basket?” (Mark 4:21). Light is meant to shine. At Baptism, the light of Christ was placed in our hands, not […]

Spiritual growth 2 Samuel 7:4-17, Ps.88, Mark 4:1-20 Today’s Gospel presents us with the parable of the sower, whose seed fell in various places. The seed represents the Word of God, and the soil symbolizes the heart. This parable illustrates how soil conditions can impact growth just as the condition of one’s heart determines the […]

RELATIONSHIP BY FAITH 2 Samuel 6:12-15,17-19/Hebrews 10:1-10/Psalm 39/Mark 3:31-35  Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers and sisters are outside asking for you.” This particular verse has been a subject of controversy among believers. Who are the siblings of Jesus Christ? According to the Commentary of the New Community Bible; in the Jewish society, the […]

  UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL 2 Samuel 5:1-7, 10; Psalm 89; Mark 3:22-30  “A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand” (Mark 3:24). This statement was the response of Jesus to those who called him Beelzebub. The Kingdom of God advances through unity of purpose and harmony of spirit. The Spirit is not given […]

NO WORD, NO CHRIST Isaiah 8:23-9:3/Psalm27/ Cor. 1:10-13, 17/ Matt.4:12-23 1. Pope Francis instituted the celebration of the Sunday of the Word of God in his Apostolic Letter Aperuit illis, issued on September 30, 2019. This celebration, observed every year on the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time, calls us to celebrate, study, and proclaim the […]

The fall of Saul 2 Samuel 1:1-4, 11-12, 17, 19, 23-27; Psalm 80; Mark 3:20-21 The first reading (2 Sam 1:1–27) David mourns Saul, he refuses to celebrate the fall of Saul – his enemy. He said, “How the mighty have fallen!” This is not a mockery but a warning: great beginnings do not guarantee […]

Revenge: Saul and David 1Samuel 24:3-21; Psalm 57; Mark 3:13-19 David had the perfect chance to end Saul’s life, but he chose restraint over revenge (1 Sam 24:3–21). He used the sword to cut a piece off his robe, not his throat. He said to himself, “I will not touch the Lord’s anointed.” As believers […]
