Things Are Not Always As They Appear

In this insightful homily, Fr. Miguel reflects on how things are not always as they appear. The scribes looked holy but devoured widows’ houses. The rich appeared generous with their large donations, but gave only from their surplus. The poor widow, who seemed to give the least, actually gave the most — she offered her whole livelihood out of love and trust in God.Fr. Miguel reminds us that what truly matters is not how we appear to the world, but who we really are before God. Drawing from Venerable Fulton Sheen, he shares the three versions of ourselves: who we think we are, who others think we are, and who we truly are. On Judgment Day, God will see us exactly as we are — and His mercy will be the greatest surprise of all.A powerful call to authenticity, humility, and striving to become who God calls us to be, with the help of Our Blessed Mother.
