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. Jesus praised her choice, “Mary has chosen the good portion.” Like Martha, many of us get lost in church activities but forget the essence, […]

 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Nigeria’s Future  Isaiah 11:1–10; Ps. 72; Eph. 2:13-22; Matt. 2:13–15, 19–23 Today we honor Our Lady, Queen and Patroness of Nigeria, as our nation marks 64 years of independence. Isaiah’s vision reminds us that even from a broken stump, new life can spring forth. Nigeria may be wounded, but she is not dead! The right […]

 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. They are not myths but real messengers, defenders, and healers in God’s plan. The question is: Do we still recognize their power in our lives? MICHAEL – “WHO IS LIKE GOD?”: Michael is the Prince […]

Dangers of Negligence Amos 6:1,4-7/Psalm 146:7-10/1 Timothy 6:11-16/Luke 16:19-31 In the biblical context, negligence refers to failing to act with love, care, and responsibility towards others, often resulting in harm or injustice. This concept is seen in various parables and teachings, such as: The Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37),The Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31)The Sheep […]

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, […]
