In this powerful sermon, Fr. Daniel guided us through the mystery of the Eucharist, showing how Christ, the Bread of Life, invites us into deep union with Him. Just as physical bread nourishes the body, the Holy Communion nourishes the soul—bringing healing, unity, and divine intimacy. Fr. Daniel reminded us that through partaking in the Eucharist, we don’t just remember Christ—we receive Him, becoming one with His Body. This sacred meal is not just a symbol, but a true encounter with the living God who desires to dwell within us and unite us to Himself and to one another.

In today’s Gospel, Fr. Daniel reflected on the encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well—a moment that revealed the deep contrast between the temporary water the world offers and the living water that Christ gives. The woman came searching for physical water, but Christ offered her something far greater: a spring of eternal life that satisfies the soul. Fr. Daniel reminded us that the water of the world may quench our thirst for a moment, but it always leaves us coming back empty. Only Jesus, the true Living Water, can fill the emptiness in our hearts and lead us into fullness, truth, and worship in spirit.

On this holy Tuesday evening, we continue walking with Christ on His road to the cross. Tonight’s readings confront us with two contrasting sets of eyes: the eyes of Judas, filled with deceit, and the eyes of Jesus, filled with love and sorrow. Judas chose to look at Jesus through the lens of greed and pride, while Jesus looked at His betrayer with compassion and heartbreak. This night, we’ll ask ourselves: How do we look at Christ? With faith, surrender, and love—or with hesitation, conditions, and fear? May our eyes be opened, and our hearts be softened, as we prepare to meet our Savior face to face in His suffering.

Palm Sunday marks more than just Jesus entering Jerusalem—it marks the invitation for Him to enter our hearts as King. But for Christ to reign, our own will must step aside. In this message, we’ll reflect on the people who welcomed Him with praise, yet days later shouted, “Crucify Him.” Why? Because He didn’t meet their expectations. We’ll be challenged to confront the ways we cling to control and learn what it means to truly let Jesus lead. When the King enters, our pride, our plans, and our ego must exit.

On Palm Sunday, we remember the crowd that shouted “Hosanna” as Jesus entered Jerusalem—not on a war horse, but humbly on a donkey. In this sermon, we’ll reflect on how Christ’s path to peace was not through power, but through surrender to the Father’s will. We’ll explore what it means for us to truly lay down our lives, our pride, and our plans at His feet. As we wave our palm branches, may we also open our hearts and yield to the King who brings peace—not as the world gives, but as only He can.

“No matter how far we stray, the Father’s love never fails. In the parable of the Prodigal Son, Christ reveals the heart of our Heavenly Father—merciful, patient, and always ready to welcome us home. The son may have left, but the father never stopped watching, never stopped waiting, and never stopped loving. This is the love of God—a love that restores, heals, and embraces us even in our brokenness. Let us not be afraid to return to Him, for His arms are always open.” – Fr. Daniel

In today’s Gospel, Christ calls us to examine the direction of our hearts: “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21). As we enter the Week of Treasures in Lent, we are reminded that our true wealth is not in earthly possessions but in the eternal kingdom of God.Fr. Daniel will explore how our hearts act like a compass, always pointing toward what we value most. Are we seeking the fleeting riches of this world, or are we storing up treasures in heaven? Through fasting, prayer, and almsgiving, Lent invites us to recalibrate our hearts, ensuring they are aligned with Christ and His righteousness.Join us as we reflect on the ultimate question: Where is your heart leading you? Is it set on temporary gain, or is it fixed on the eternal rewards of God’s kingdom? Let us use this sacred season to redirect our hearts toward the only treasure that truly lasts—life with Christ.
