The Dedication of the Lateran Basilica
GOSPEL MESSAGE
Our relationship with God should not resemble a transaction or a bargaining for a better deal.
The church is a sacred place, a place of prayer where we encounter God. It is a place of grace and blessing.
The water that flows from the Sanctuary is for cleansing and the sacraments are for healing.
God makes his home in the heart of each person, but if the heart is crowded wit...

Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time
GOSPEL MESSAGE
In today’s gospel message Jesus tells the Ten Lepers to “Go and show yourselves to the priest.”
This is an invitation to work in faith.
“Go” in obedience; and “show yourselves to the priests” means to have faith that God has given the priests authority to declare us clean.

Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
GOSPEL MESSAGE
Like the Apostles, we always pray asking God to: “Increase our faith.”
Yes, to have faith is to remain in the state of Grace, to improve our inner spiritual quality.
But faith is not just believing that God exists, know about God or practice religious observances.

Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time
GOSPEL MESSAGE
In today’s gospel, the rich man’s story is a warning for modern society.
The rich man enjoyed luxury everyday while Lazarus was poor, hungry and covered with sores.
The rich man is not condemned because of his riches. His sin was not wealth rather, he committed a sin of omission.
“Love thy neighbour as yourself”: he failed to have compassion for Lazarus.
He mis...

but his clever thinking.
The dishonest manager acted urgently wanting to secure his earthly life by dishonesty.
Jesus is commanding us to secure our eternal life by investing our skills and relationships to people,
to mercy, generosity and “store u...

Exaltation of the Holy Cross
GOSPEL MESSAGE
In Today’s generation, we refuse to incline our ears and listen to God.
We rebel against God and the authority of the church. Because of our rebellion against God and the church
we continue to be seduced by the poisonous serpent.
But Jesus Christ was crucified high on the Cross to crush the serpent.
Therefore, the CROSS of Christ has become a life-giving throne ...

G O S P E L M E S S A G E
“Whoever comes to me and does not hate their father and mother, spouse and children,
brothers and sisters, yes, and even their life itself, cannot be my disciple!”
…sounds harsh and confusing from Jesus. But, it means that we have to love the donor first and not prioritize the gift itself.
God must come first and everyone else second…e...
