Today’s first reading and the gospel remind us to always trust God.  However, as many people know, trusting in God can be very challenging.  May the readings and this vlog inspire us to trust Him more.  God bless.  Based on the readings of Isaiah 49: 14-15; 1 Corinthians 4: 1-5; Matthew 6: 24-34.

As Fr. MD becomes older, he has a better understanding of how right Jesus is in today’ gospel. Two wrongs do not make something right, and doing so is like adding gasoline to the fire.  May the gospel inspire us to always try to respond Christ-like when we are treated unfairly.  Based on the readings of Leviticus 19: 1-18; 1 Corinthians 3: 16-23; Matthew 5: 38-48.
