Questioning God

In this insightful homily, Fr. Miguel reflects on the chief priests, elders, and scribes who question Jesus: “By what authority are you doing these things?” Their question was not sincere — it was a trap meant to catch Him.Fr. Miguel contrasts this with the humble and sincere question of Our Blessed Mother at the Annunciation: “How can this be?” He reminds us that it is good to ask questions of the Lord, as long as they come from a desire to understand and deepen our faith. As St. Augustine taught: “I believe in order to understand, and I understand the better to believe.”Fr. Miguel also shares a powerful story about a woman struggling with belief in the Eucharist and how a blunt but honest response from a priest helped open her heart to faith.A timely reflection: What kind of questions are we bringing to the Lord today? Are they sincere and humble, or are they tests of doubt?
