The scribes and pharisees bring forward a woman caught in the act of adultery, and attempt to trap Jesus in asking if she should be put to death. He responds with an act of mercy, showing forgiveness. We, too, are like that woman caught in sin, but when we come to Christ, we can be forgiven. #Catholic #homily #Scripture #GospelOfTheDay Sign up to have podcasts and blog posts emailed to you: http://eepurl.com/ioCgy2 Give feedback at https://forms.gle/gGhujv39g43BUxmK6 Readings are found at https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/040625.cfm

Fourth Sunday of Lent

Our Lord, to challenge the Pharisees and scribes in their self-righteousness, tells the story of the Lost Sons. As the master story teller, He leaves it unresolved, placing the resolution in the hearts of the hearers. #Catholic #homily #Scripture #GospelOfTheDay Sign up to have podcasts and blog posts emailed to you: eepurl.com/ioCgy2 Give feedback at forms.gle/gGhujv39g43BUxmK6 Readings are found at bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/033025.cfm

He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.3 The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.'[b]”5 The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. 6 And he said to him, “I will give you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. 7 If you worship me, it will all be yours.”8 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.'[c]”9 The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down from here. 10 For it is written:“‘He will command his angels concerning you    to guard you carefully;11 they will lift you up in their hands,    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'[d]”12 Jesus answered, “It is said: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'[e]”13 When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.

Our Lord is tempted by the Devil, but gives him no conversation, and in the end proves Himself. In this, He gives us the model for dealing with temptation. #Catholic #homily #Scripture #GospelOfTheDay Sign up to have podcasts and blog posts emailed to you: http://eepurl.com/ioCgy2 Give feedback at https://forms.gle/gGhujv39g43BUxmK6 Readings are found at https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/030925.cfm

Message from John Chang on March 24, 2024

Welcome to Holy Week, beloved church! Today begins our observance of one of the most sacred and impactful weeks of our faith. Palm Sunday is not just a moment of celebration but it's also an invitation to sit UP and proclaim what we know to be true about our faith, what we know to be true about Jesus and his message of LOVE

Our Lord offers Himself and is thus glorified. We are to offer ourselves, too. #Catholic #homily #Scripture #GospelOfTheDay Sign up to have podcasts and blog posts emailed to you: http://eepurl.com/ioCgy2 Give feedback at https://forms.gle/gGhujv39g43BUxmK6 Readings are found at https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/031724.cfm
