1st Sunday of Lent - Year A - February 22, 2026

 The 1st Sunday of Lent Year A invites reflection on human weakness and God’s saving grace. It shows the struggle with temptation and the hope of new life through Jesus.

• Temptation and Choice: Temptation is a test of loyalty to God. In Eden, Adam and Eve failed, but Jesus stood firm in the desert.
• Obedience vs. Disobedience: Adam’s disobedience brought sin, while Jesus’ obedience brings life. This contrast shows the impact of our choices.
• Sin and Its Consequences: Sin brings shame and separation from God, as seen with Adam and Eve. But through Jesus, there is hope for reconciliation.
• Grace and Redemption: Through Jesus’ sacrifice, grace overcomes sin. This offers a path to righteousness for all who believe.
• Scripture as Strength: Jesus used Scripture to resist temptation. This shows the power of God’s Word in facing challenges.
• Victory Over Evil: Jesus defeated the devil’s temptations. This victory gives confidence that evil can be overcome.

The 1st Sunday of Lent Year A highlights the human struggle with sin and the hope found in Jesus. It encourages trust in God’s mercy and strength to resist temptation.

30th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year C - October 26, 2025

The readings for 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C focus on God’s mercy for the poor and the humble. In the first reading we are told that God hears those who cry out in pain. And the psalm echoes this sentiment. In the second reading Paul speaks of feeling deserted by all those around him, but the Lord stood by him. In the gospel Jesus tells the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector.

The themes for the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C bring important lessons for our lives. They help us understand how to approach God and live faithfully.

• God Hears the Humble: God listens closely to those who are humble and oppressed. In the first reading, we learn that God does not ignore their pleas; instead, He ensures justice for them.
• Value of Humility: Humility is key to being right with God. The Gospel shows that self-righteousness is not the way to God’s heart, but humility and repentance are.
• Faithfulness Rewarded: Staying true to God’s way leads to eternal rewards. In the second reading, even though others abandoned him, Paul is confident that God will bring him safely into His kingdom because of his faithfulness.
• Strength in Trials: God provides strength in difficult times. Paul speaks about being deserted by friends but supported by the Lord, highlighting that God helps us through our trials.
• Prayer from the Heart: Sincere prayer is more valued by God than boastful displays. The Gospel contrasts the prayers of two men, teaching us that a simple, heartfelt prayer is better than one filled with self-praise.

These themes for the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C guide us on how to approach our relationship with God and with others. They encourage us to be humble, sincere, and steadfast in our faith.

27th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year C - October 5, 2025

 The 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C offers us various lessons through its readings. Each reading provides insights into how we live and believe as Christians.

• Living by Faith: The prophet Habakkuk questions God about the suffering he sees. God responds by telling him to wait for a vision that promises justice. This teaches us that faith involves trusting God’s timing and plan, even when we don’t understand.
• Gift of the Spirit: In the second reading, Paul encourages Timothy to use the gifts God has given him. This reminds us that God equips us with spiritual gifts, and we should use them boldly and lovingly.
• Power of Small Faith: Jesus mentions that faith as small as a mustard seed can do great things. It shows us that the size of our faith is less important than its true presence and action in our lives.
• Duty and Service: The Gospel also compares faith to a servant doing his duty. It teaches us that following Jesus means serving without expecting rewards; our actions are part of our Christian duty.
• Vision and Persistence: Habakkuk is told to write down a vision clearly. This tells us that having a clear vision and persistence in faith can guide us through challenges and uncertainties.
• Courage in Witnessing: Paul’s words to Timothy highlight the need for courage in proclaiming our faith. This encourages us to be strong and persistent in sharing our belief with others.

These themes from the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C encourage us to reflect on our faith and duties as Christians. They guide us in living out our beliefs in practical and faithful ways.
