• If Jesus asks you this question: Who do you say that I am?; What would be your response?

• How is your relationship with Jesus? Would you say you are in a loving relationship with Him?

• PRACTICE: During this coming week, in a moment when you need strength, pray like Peter, saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Remember that the living God is with you.

We become fully ourselves not by holding back, but by giving ourselves away in love.Reflecting on the “Law of the Gift,” Fr. Paul invites us to place our whole lives in the hands of Jesus, our gifts, our time, our struggles, and even what feels insufficient. Just as Christ multiplied the loaves and fish, He can transform what we freely offer into a blessing for others.True fulfillment is found in wholehearted discipleship: loving generously, serving faithfully, and giving all of yourself.

What started as a casual conversation in an airport turned into something neither of them expected.

This Sunday, Fr. Paul shares a real encounter with a woman who was openly vocal about not believing in God while waiting at the gate. She had no idea she was speaking to a priest… until someone greeted him: “Hi, Father Paul.”

Moments later, they found themselves seated next to each other on the same flight.

What followed was an honest, unfiltered conversation about faith, doubt, and the reality of God. But the story doesn’t end there. After the flight, she reached out again… this time sharing how that unexpected encounter opened her heart to God’s mercy in her own life.

This homily is a reminder that God moves in places we don’t plan, through conversations we don’t expect, and in hearts we might assume are closed.

No one is too far.
No moment is wasted.
God’s mercy is always at work.
