Homily by Bp. Romie- Jun Peñalosa
In this Sunday Mass at Saint Michael Kalibo, Bishop Romie-Jun reminded us to put our hope in Jesus. The first reading talks about what will happen at the end of time, but we shouldn’t be afraid of the signs. Instead, we should stay confident.
Our hope grows stronger in times of trouble. We should place our hope in Jesus, not in ourselves, our power, or wealth. Trusting in ourselves often leads to disappointment. Bring your plans to God, because He is in control and will never fail.
There are two dimensions in waiting – expecting and serving. When we wait for Jesus, we are expecting that He will come again. So we prepare ourselves. When we wait on Jesus, we are serving Him. Waiting for Jesus means serving others. If we believe He is coming, we will serve with joy. Serving God is about serving others.
So, let’s prepare for His coming by waiting with hope and confidence in Jesus.
