HOMILY OF THE 4TH MONDAY OF ORDINARY TIME — YEAR A
HOMILY THEME: THROUGH FAITH, THEY CONQUERED KINGDOMS
BY: Fr Deotacious Chikontwe SMA
Heb 12: 1 – 4, Mk 5: 21 – 43
Today, we celebrate Monday of the Forth Week in Ordinary Time. And the readings of this day invites us to think about faith, freedom, and sharing our experiences of God.
FROM OUR FIRST READING
Our first reading for today, reminds us of those who trusted in God even when His promises were not yet fulfilled. These faithful people believed in what they could not see. They endured trials and hardships because they knew God’s plan was greater than their immediate struggles.

WHAT WE LEARN FROM FIRST READING.
Faith is not always easy, especially when answers do not come quickly. Like those in the reading, we may face situations where we wonder how or when God will act. This challenges us to hold on to our belief in God’s goodness, even when His timing seems unclear.
FROM OUR GOSPEL READING
In the Gospel today, Jesus frees a man from great suffering. After being healed, the man is told to share what God has done for him with others. This shows that our personal experiences of God’s help are meant to be shared.
WHAT DO WE LEARN FROM OUR GOSPEL PASSAGE OF TODAY?
God’s work in our lives is not just for us. When we tell others how He has helped us, we spread hope and encourage others to trust Him. The man in the Gospel could have kept quiet, but Jesus wanted him to speak about his healing.
CONCLUSION
Today, the message from Hebrews encourages us to rely on God in every situation. We are reminded that faith is not about seeing, but about trusting. This kind of trust strengthens our relationship with God and gives us hope, even in difficult times.
Sharing what God has done for us does not have to be complicated. We simply tell our story in a way that others can understand. Like the man in the Gospel, we can let our words and actions show others how much God loves and helps His people.
Have a Blessed Monday Everyone
