HOMILY OF 28TH WEDNESDAY IN ORDINARY TIME — YEAR B
HOMILY THEME: YOU OVERLOOK JUSTICE AND THE LOVE OF GOD
BY: Fr Deotacious Chikontwe SMA
Gal 5:18-25; Psalm 1:1-4, 6; Luke 11:42-46
FROM OUR FIRST READING
Our first reading reminds us of the importance of living by the Spirit. Paul explains that when we follow the Spirit, we turn away from selfish desires and focus on things like love, patience, and kindness. These qualities help us grow closer to God and live in peace with others.

LIFE LESSON FROM OUR FIRST READING
Living by the Spirit means making choices based on what is right, not just what we want. It means putting the needs of others before our own desires. This can be challenging, but the Spirit helps us to show love and kindness in all situations, even when it’s hard.
FROM OUR GOSPEL READING
The Gospel also shows the danger of living for outward appearances instead of following the Spirit. Jesus calls out the Pharisees for focusing too much on following rules while neglecting justice and love. Like the Pharisees, we can sometimes get caught up in doing the “right” things outwardly, but real faith comes from allowing the Spirit to guide us from the inside.
LIFE LESSON FROM OUR GOSPEL READING
Hypocrisy can also be a temptation for us. It’s easy to go through the motions of religion without letting it change our hearts. We may follow rules and attend Mass, but if we ignore justice, love, and humility, we are not truly living our faith.
CONCLUSION
Paul encourages us to avoid this by living by the Spirit. When we are guided by the Spirit, we don’t just look good on the outside; we live with true love and compassion for others. Avoiding hypocrisy means letting our faith show in how we treat others and how we live each day.
I wish everyone a Blessed Wednesday
