Homily by +Bp. Romie- Jun Peñalosa
In his homily this Sunday, +Bp. Romie-Jun Peñalosa reminded us of three important things this Easter season: stay focused on Jesus, stay together with our community, and think twice before we act.
God is always focused on us. Like a loving father, He knows what we need and cares deeply for us. Whatever we’re going through, we can bring it to Jesus—He will provide and take care of us. But the question is: How do we respond to God’s love?
Stay Focused on Jesus
Even when life is hard, don’t lose sight of Jesus. He rose from the dead to give us hope. His love never changes, and His promises still stand.
Stay with the Community
We are not meant to go through life alone. We grow stronger when we support each other. “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. And if you want to get to the right place, walk with the right people.”
Think Twice Before We Act
Our words and actions matter. They stay in people’s hearts. Before doing or saying anything, pause and ask if it brings love and peace.
