9/01/26: Spiritual Goggles: Seeing Beyond Suffering with the Eyes of the Spirit

Tuesday Mass. 9.01.26. This homily is about how the Holy Spirit alone allows believers to understand spiritual realities that the world cannot explain, particularly in moments of suffering and loss. Drawing on St. Paul's letter to the divided Corinthian community, it explores the difference between human wisdom and spiritual discernment, using the image of "goggles" — the lenses of grief, secular thinking, or worldly assumptions that distort how suffering, hardship, and even the Church itself are perceived.
