Sunday Reflection | 9 February 2025
By: Fr. Ricky Cañet Montañez

HOMILY: Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time (C)
Luke 5:1-11

Ignited by Christ to be “light”

As Christians, we are all called, despite our flaws, unworthiness and sinfulness, to carry out His message of hope and love to all our brothers and sisters. We all have the potential to collaborate with God in His work of redemption. Let us pray that we can discern God’s voice when He calls. Let us pray that we will have the courage to respond in faith and draw strength from the promise that God’s grace will sustain and empower us. Let us allow God to use us to manifest how great and transformative His power can be. Let us not be afraid! Let us place ourselves in God’s hands and trust Him to do wondrous things in our lives!
