Category: HOMILIES

This homily is on the healing of the blind man as recounted in John 9:1-41.

The healing stories in the Gospel take on new meaning in times like this! Our Lord’s healing of the blind man in today’s Gospel story offers us a much-needed message.

This healing miracle, unlike others, did not happen instantaneously. While the other healings of our Lord were achieved with almost just one word or a single touch, this one involved several steps–including the use of the bizarre mixture of saliva and spittle.

In this episode of SUNDAYS FOR SKEPTICS, Fr. Ernald Andal SJ shares with us his timely reflections on this encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman.

These ONE-MINUTE HOMILIES for Lent (Year B) are authored and produced by Fr. J and translated into SANGMINUTONG SERMON by Paolo Ven Paculan.

Back in the 90s Jesuit Communications broadcast a different kind of TV Sunday Mass back called “Sundays for Skeptics.”

We’re bringing a version of it back starting tomorrow. It’s not a substitute for attending an actual Mass, but what if offers are timely reflections about the Sunday readings.

So spread the word: SUNDAYS FOR SKEPTICS (and ASEPTICS!) on www.pinsoflight.net #sundays4skeptics #s4s

This homily is based on Matthew 3:13-17 on the Feast of the Baptism of our Lord.

John the Baptist, as well as his disciples, must have been bewildered by Jesus’ request for baptism. “Baptize him?”

But John saw that Jesus was serious about his request, and though he did not understand, he decided to trust Jesus, going ahead to baptize him even if he knew that between the two of them, it should be him getting baptized by Jesus.
