The Good Portion Jonah 3:1–10; Psalm 139; Luke 10:38–42 In today’s Gospel, Jesus visits the home of Martha and Mary. While Martha was busy serving, Mary sat at Jesus’ feet, listening.

HOMILY FOR MONDAY OF THE TWENTY-SEVENTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME (YEAR 1)

 The Good Samaritan (Jonah 1:1–2:1, 11; Jonah 2:3–5, 8; Luke 10:25–37) True worship is meaningless without compassion! The priest and Levite saw but ignored. We cannot claim to adore God while neglecting the wounded at our gate. Worship without mercy is hypocrisy. Our faith must have eyes that see, hearts that feel, and hands that […]

HOMILY FOR THE TWENTY-SEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME (YEAR C)

Faith in Action, Not Hesitation! (Habakkuk 1:2–3; 2:2–4; Psalm 94; 2 Timothy 1:6–8, 13–14; Luke 17:5–10) Today, many Christians are waiting for “big faith” before they step out. But faith does not grow by waiting, it grows by walking! If Peter had waited for more faith, he would never have walked on water (Matthew 14:29). […]

Joy in Serving the Lord Baruch 4:5–12, 27–29 / Psalm 119 / Luke 10:17–24 In today’s Gospel, the disciples return from mission, rejoicing that even demons submitted to them in Christ’s name. Their joy was not in personal power but in sharing in the authority of Christ. True fulfillment comes when we give ourselves to […]

HOMILY FOR FRIDAY OF THE TWENTY-SIXTH WEEK (YEAR 1)

Wasted Grace Baruch 1:15–22; Psalm 78; Luke 10:13–16 Jesus condemned Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum, not for ignorance, but for wasting grace. Cities blessed with light, yet drowned in pride.To whom much is given, more is expected; wasted opportunities invite harsher judgment. Like them, many know the sacraments but neglect them; we hear the truth but […]

 Mercy, Not Revenge  Zechariah 8:20-23 | Psalm 87 | Luke 9:51-56 In today’s Gospel, Jesus sets His face toward Jerusalem, the path of the cross. Rejected by the Samaritans, His disciples wanted fire from heaven, but He refused. Rejection is not a license for revenge. Jesus teaches us that anger burns bridges, but mercy builds […]

The Archangels DANIEL 7:9-10, 13-14 | PSALM 138 | JOHN 1:47-51 Today heaven unveils its warriors: Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael.

Encounter Christ Haggai 1:15–2:9; Psalm 144; Luke 9:18–22 Jesus asks: “Who do you say I am?” (Luke 9:20). Not in a crowd, but at prayer. True knowledge of Christ is born in prayer and personal  relationship. Peter’s answer came from divine illumination, not speculation. Until we rebuild our inner altar, our faith will remain shallow, […]
