Saint Martin of Tours

In today’s Gospel, Jesus calls us to put the gifts we have received to good use. Drawing on Archbishop Gomez’s pastoral letter and the example of Saint Juan Diego, Fr. Paul reflects on how God works through ordinary people who say yes to Him.

As we celebrate the end of the liturgical year with the Solemnity of Christ the King, Fr. Paul reflects on the King who gathers and cares for His people—and calls us to recognize Him in those who need our love.

Week One — Awake to His Presence Amid the busyness of Advent, Jesus calls us to be watchful. In this week’s reflection, Fr. Paul invites us to consider what Christ has entrusted to our care—and how prayer and everyday acts of love can renew our hearts and prepare us to welcome Him.

Week Two — Prepare the Way God’s mercy offers us the grace to begin again. In this week’s reflection, Fr. Paul invites us to prepare the way for Christ by receiving His forgiveness, renewing our hearts, and extending that mercy to others.

Week Three — Witnesses to the Light Christ is already among us, giving us reason to rejoice. In this week’s reflection, Fr. Paul invites us to recognize the Lord’s faithful care with gratitude—and help others discover His presence through simple acts of love.

Week Four — Mary the Model Disciple Mary shows us how to welcome Christ with a listening heart and a trusting yes. In this week’s reflection, Fr. Paul invites us to follow her example, allowing God’s word to renew our hearts and guide our daily acts of faithfulness.
