Fr. MD, in this video, shares his reflection on the Sunday readings.  May this holy season of Advent inspire us to become more serious with improving our relationship with God and other people.  God bless.  Based on the readings of Isaiah 2: 1-5; Romans 13: 11-14; & Matthew 24: 37-44.

Many people in other countries are not crazy about “ugly Americans” who visit their countries.  Let’s goal that we do not become “ugly Catholics”.  Otherwise other people won’t be too enthusiastic to get to know about Jesus or our faith.  Based on the readings of 2 Samuels 5: 1-3; Colossians 1: 12-20; & Luke 23: 35-43.

In the gospel, Jesus predicted the destruction of the Temple by the Romans.  And then the Empire of Rome gradually collapsed.  However, God’s kingdom will never stop.  May we continue to help God’s kingdom spread around the world!  Based on the readings of Malachi 3: 19-20; Thessalonians 3: 7-12; & Luke 2: 5-19.

The gospel speaks of a Jewish religious group called the Sadducees.  Who were they?  In this vlog, Fr. MD discusses them and how the gospel story relates to our faith.  Based on the readings of 2 Maccabees 7: 1-14; 2 Thessalonians 2: 16- 3:5; & Luke 20: 27-38

Why does Jesus choose to go over Zaccheus’ house in spite of people’s criticism of his decision to do so?  Jesus wants to save as many souls as possible!  God’s plans are always hard to understand, especially in the beginning, but at the end He is always right!  Based on the readings of Wisdom 11:22-12: 2; 2 Thessalonians 1: 11-2:2; & Luke 19: 1-10.
