FRIDAY OF THE 4TH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIMES

• First reading: Hebrews 13:1-8
• Psalm: 27:1, 3, 5, 8-9 (The Lord is my light and my salvation)
• Gospel: Mark 6: 14-29

 A Brief Homily

In today’s readings, we are reminded of the importance of living out our Christian faith with integrity and love. In the first reading, St. Paul encourages us to love one another, honor marriage, and be content with what we have. He reminds us that Christ is always with us, never abandoning us. The Gospel highlights the cost of following truth, as we see the martyrdom of St. John the Baptist. While it may not always be easy, we are called to stand for what is right. May we trust in God’s light and salvation, knowing He will guide us through every challenge.

 Inspiration Message

1. Love One Another: Today’s reading encourages us to love and support one another, especially those in need. Let’s show kindness and respect to everyone around us.
2. Honor Relationships: We are reminded to honor the relationships we have, especially in marriage. It’s a call to be faithful and committed in all our relationships.
3. Be Content: We should be content with what we have, trusting that God will provide for our needs. Greed and envy only steal our peace.
4. Stand for the Truth: Just like St. John the Baptist, standing for truth may bring challenges, but we are called to never compromise on what is right.
5. God is Always with Us: In all circumstances, God is with us, and we can find comfort and strength in His presence. We are never alone!

Morning Prayer

Guide me today to live according to Your will. Amen. May the almighty God bless you, The Father and The Son and The Holy Spirit. Amen
