HOMILY FOR 24TH TUESDAY IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR B

HOMILY FOR 24TH TUESDAY IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR B

HOMILY THEME: THE ONLY SON OF HIS MOTHER, AND SHE IS A WIDOW

BY: Fr Deotacious Chikontwe SMA

1 Cor 12: 12 – 31, Psalm 99(100), Lk 7: 11 – 17

FROM OUR FIRST READING
In our first reading, Paul talks about the Church as a body with many parts. He explains that just like a human body has different members with different functions, the Church also has people with different gifts. Some may lead, while others serve in quieter ways, but all are necessary for the Church to work together.

ABOUT THE GOSPEL READING
Our gospel reading, shows Jesus meeting a widow who has just lost her only son. He sees her pain and immediately steps in to help. Jesus raises her son from the dead, showing His deep compassion for those who suffer. This moment reminds us that God cares about our struggles and hardships. Jesus didn’t ignore the widow’s pain, and He doesn’t ignore ours either. He is close to those who suffer and wants to bring healing and comfort. This is an important reminder that we are never alone in our pain.

CONCLUSION
Today we learn especially from our first reading about importance of unity. No matter what our role is, we belong to the same community and need each other. It teaches us that no one is too small or unimportant in God’s plan. Each gift, whether big or small, plays a part in building up the Church.
We are also called to follow Jesus’ example by showing compassion to others. When we see someone who is hurting, we can offer support and comfort. It may not always be through great miracles, but small acts of kindness can make a big difference.

May you all have a Blessed Tuesday.
