Today’s readings my brothers and sisters teach us about Witnessing to and for Christ our risen Lord, so let us go out into the world today and witness to Christ our risen Lord by being obedient to Him and His teachings; by repenting from our sins, by continuously praising His name for all His blessings, graces and mercies upon us, no matter the difficulties or challenges we face, and by following Him always because He is our Lord and Savior.

My brothers and sisters in Christ, as we celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday today, let us witness for Christ today by sharing His gospel with the world in thought, word and deed; and by inviting others to experience His love and mercy in their own lives like we did.

So my dear friends in Christ, let us avoid and fight our spiritual inconstancy and fickleness by praying frequently, by mortifying ourselves through fasting; and by exemplifying God’s love to others through Almsgiving.

So my brothers and sisters in Christ, let us learn to be compassionate and forgiving as God is to us and as Jesus was to the woman caught in adultery in today’s gospel reading, by not judging people, by letting go of the hurt we have experienced from others; and by truly trusting in God’s mercy, grace and love, as we repent from our sins and reconcile ourselves with Him.

My brothers and sisters in Christ, let us use this Lenten season to truly repent of our sins and go back to God like the prodigal son did by recognizing our sins, acknowledging them as wrong, being contrite and remorseful for them, confessing them in the sacrament of reconciliation, making amends for them, and sincerely renewing our spiritual lives.

This Lenten season pray well because prayer strengthens your faith, provides guidance and wisdom, fosters a deeper relationship with God, and helps you resist temptation and overcome challenges. Secondly, fast because fasting helps you deepen your prayer life, become more humble and develop a closer relationship with Christ. Lastly, give Alms because it pleases God, brings you more blessings, curbs your greed, and helps you show compassion and love for others.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, since the devil is persistent and relentless in trying to make us fall into sin by constantly tempting us, let us like Christ live out our gospel values knowing that God is with us by being spiritually alert and vigilant; by praying always; by mortifying our bodies; and by being humble.

My dear friends in Christ, let us listen to Jesus in today’s gospel reading and try our very best to fight hypocrisy in all its forms by being transparent, reliable and trustworthy in leading others closer to God; by being loving, kind, understanding and sympathetic towards our brothers and sisters; and lastly, by being honest, sincere, hardworking and efficient in our spiritual lives so as to bear good fruit that will last.

Let us model our lives after Jesus’s example; by serving and helping others; by living a sacrificial life for the sake of others; by being loving, patient, kind, and gentle to others as God is to us; by living our lives in total submission to God's will; and by working diligently, because our reward will be great in heaven and we will be true children of the Most High as stated by Jesus in today’s gospel reading.

Hence my brothers and sisters in Christ, like today’s first reading and gospel reading teaches us, let us bypass the pleasures of this world by truly trusting in God and always pleasing Him, so as to receive the eternal reward - the unlimited happiness of heaven set up apart for us.

Since Humility is the first and most important step toward a life of holiness and the foundation of all virtues, let us live humbly before God and deepen our relationship with Him by always acknowledging our lowliness and sinfulness before Him like Prophet Isaiah, St. Paul and St. Peter did in today’s readings. Always remember the words of St. Augustine that states, “the way to Christ is first through humility, second through humility, third, through humility”

Today my dear friends, we are reminded by St. Paul in our Second Reading of how blessed we are as God’s children; and of these blessings or gifts or talents God has given us. So let us follow the example of Jesus in today’s Gospel Reading and go into the world to put those gifts, talents, abilities and blessings we have received from God to good use for the greater glory of His Holy Name.
