3/02/26: Acting Like Our Father

Monday Mass. 3.02.26. In this homily, I reflect on how children often resemble their parents — in the way they act and speak. Jesus tells us to “be merciful as your Father is merciful,” and that means we are meant to resemble God in the way we treat others. Deep down, we want to do good, but pride and ego often lead us to judge and condemn. Today, we’re invited to look honestly at our hearts and choose mercy, because when we reflect the Father’s goodness, we help heal the world instead of harming it.
