So my brothers and sisters in Christ, let us imitate the Pharisee’s good works by living out our faith in God, by being obedient to His Word, and by obeying His commandments and the teachings of the Church. And let us also imitate the tax collector’s spirit of humility by being remorseful, sorrowful and contrite for our sins and by asking God for mercy and forgiveness. Remember no true love of God can exist in a proud heart, but only in a humble and contrite heart.

Remember my dear brothers and sisters, Perseverance develops our trust and confidence in God, helping us realize how weak we are and how humble we need to be as children of God. And Prayer is key to making that hope, trust and confidence a reality in our relationship with God. So let us pray consistently that is, always, in every case or on every occasion and let us persevere persistently that is, continuously in a persistent manner in our spiritual lives - RevFICO

Brothers and sisters in Christ, the life we have today is not guaranteed because it is a gift from God, but our acts of kindness, compassion and goodness which are acts of gratitude, guarantees us a place in heaven. So let us strive to show gratitude to God always for all His blessings, gifts, talents, graces and mercies upon us in our love for our neighbors.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, it was our sins that crucified our Lord on the cross, but through the grace of God, it was that same cross that brought us salvation and new life. So, let us embrace the crosses that come our way daily; and let us firmly hope and trust in God, because in Him and with Him, all our sufferings here on earth will finally lead us to the glory of heaven.

If you want to be a true disciple of Christ today, detach yourself from the world or things of the world; carry and bear your cross daily then totally dedicate and commit yourself to God by being loyal to Him and by following Him.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, it is time to conduct our affairs with humility, and we will be greater in heaven and find favor with God. So let us learn to be humble by depending solely on God through recognizing our own shortcomings and our limitations; by knowing more about ourselves through self- awareness and acknowledging our weaknesses. And lastly, by showing our love for God in our generosity and service to others.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, let us strive to enter through the narrow gate to attain the kingdom of heaven as Jesus emphasized to us in today’s gospel reading by our fidelity to the word of God through prayer, patience and perseverance, so that we can be the last who will be first, rather than the first who will become the last.

So like the Letter to the Hebrews tells us today, let us not abandon the struggle we face in being disciples of Christ in the world today, but let us persevere in running the race that lies before us while keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, our leader and the perfecter of our faith who endured the cross and despised its shame so as to take His seat at the right of the throne of God for our redemption and salvation.

My dear brothers and sisters, since Jesus said, "Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more," we have been entrusted with much so let us start preparing ourselves for the kingdom of heaven by coming closer to God through a personal growth in our spiritual lives, by truly accepting the word of God and by living out the gospel of Christ we profess.

My brothers and sisters in Christ, wealth to the world is the accumulation of money, but true wealth in the sight of God, is the accumulation of grace. True wealth is stored in one’s soul because it is measured in the exercise of virtue and in the amount of love we have for God and for our neighbor. So let us store up true wealth for ourselves by performing good works, by practicing charity and by living out Christ’s message to love one another as He has loved us.

So my dear brothers and sisters in Christ, let us follow the example shown us by Jesus today as He taught His disciples to pray by adoring God, by worshiping Him, by praising Him, by thanking Him for all He does in our lives and by asking Him for our needs with sincerity of heart, with simplicity of words, and with persistent perseverance.
