YEAR B: HOMILY FOR SATURDAY OF THE 32ND WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME HOMILY THEME: PERSISTENT PRAYER…..”They should pray continually and not lose heart” BY: Fr. Joan FARRÉS i Llarisó HOMILY: Today, when the last days of the liturgical year are getting near, Jesus exhorts us to pray, to open ourselves to God. We may think as the family parents who —every day!— are expecting to receive from their sons some words showing their loving affection. God, who is our Father, also expects these words. Jesus says it quite often in the…

YEAR B: HOMILY FOR FRIDAY OF THE 32ND WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME HOMILY THEME: THE SECOND COMING…..”Whoever tries to save his life will lose himself, but whoever gives his life will be born again” BY: Fr. Enric PRAT i Jordana HOMILY: Today, in the context of a prevailing materialist culture, many people behave as they did in Noah's time: «People ate and drank; they took husbands and wives» (Lk 17:27); or as in the days of Lot, when «(…) they bought and sold, planted and built» (Lk 17:28). With such shortsighted…

YEAR B: HOMILY FOR THURSDAY OF THE 32ND WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME HOMILY THEME: JESUS IS OUR KING…..”The kingdom of God is among you” BY: Fr. Josep Mª MASSANA i Mola HOMILY: Today, the Pharisees ask Jesus, with a mixture of interest, curiosity, fear… something that has always been of interest for all of us: when will the Kingdom of God come over? when will it be the last day, the end of the world, Christ's return to judge the living and the dead in the day of the Last Judgment?…

Benny Tuazon HOMILY: (Lk. 17:20-25) Thursday of the Thirty Second Week in Ordinary Time In today’s Gospel Jesus responds about questions on the coming of the Kingdom. It is neither here nor there. It is not a particular person. The closest Jesus defined or placed it is that the Kingdom of God is among us. Jesus was referring to Himself as the Way to God. He…

YEAR B: HOMILY FOR TUESDAY OF THE 32ND WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME HOMILY THEME: The Power and Importance of Self-Control BY: Fr. Evaristus Abu HOMILY: _“Bid the older men be temperate, serious, sensible, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. Bid the older women likewise to be reverent in behaviour. … Likewise, urge the younger men to control themselves.” *Titus 2:2-6*_ Imagine a car without brakes, a tap without a knob or a machine without an on/off button. That is just how we are without self-control. To be self-controlled…

YEAR B: HOMILY FOR TUESDAY OF THE 32ND WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME HOMILY THEME: ATTITUDE OF A SERVANT…..”We have only done our duty” BY: Fr. Jaume AYMAR i Ragolta HOMILY: Today, the Gospel message is not based on the master’s attitude, but on the servant’s. Jesus, with a parable, invites his apostles to consider the stance of service: the servant should fulfill his duties without expecting any reward: «Do you thank this servant for doing what you commanded?» (Lk 17:9). However, this is not the Master's last lesson on service. Later…

Pedro-José YNARAJA i Díaz HOMILY: Today, the Gospel speaks of three important topics. In the first place, our behavior with children.

BY: Fr. Cosmas Ukadike, C.M. HOMILY: This is true of the blessed Father who did not spare his only son, but gave him up for us as a ransom. This shows that God can never be out done in generousity. For It was out of his generous heart that He gave…
