Peter, in today’s gospel, does not understand why Jesus would accept ? God’s plan to suffer and die on a cross.  We, like Peter, often struggle to understand God’s plans for us.  May the vlog inspire us to trust God, especially during difficult  times.   Based on the readings of Jeremiah 20: 7-9; Romans 12: 1-2; Matthew 16: 21-27.

The gospel narrates an encounter between a non-Jewish woman and Jesus.  It seems to Fr. MD that the woman’s challenge led Jesus to a profound insight about His ministry on earth.  May the gospel inspire us to step out of our comfort zone and appreciate the diversity of God’s people. Based on the readings of Isaiah 56: 1-7; Romans 11: 13-32; Matthew 15:21-28

Part of the package for being a Christian is experiencing temptation.  One of the remedies to overcoming temptation is to follow the example of St. Peter as narrated in the gospel today.  God bless.  Based on the readings of 1 Kings 19: 9-13; Romans 9: 1-5; Matthew 14: 22-33.

This vlog discusses genuflection.  Many people may not recognize this word but you probably would know what it is when watching this vlog.  Fr. MD hopes this vlog will serve as a good reminder to all Catholics to genuflect whenever they are in church.
