Good morning, Good People,
May the Lord give you peace, and blessings in the Holy Spirit. It is 02nd August 2025. We celebrate the memorial of Saints Eusebius of Vercelli, Bishop, Peter Julian Eymard, Priest and First Saturday of the month as the memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We reflect on Leviticus 25:1, 8-17 and Matthew 14:1-12.
St. Eusebius of Vercelli teaches us: “The bonds of charity unite us more closely than chains of iron.”
Are we tired of being human and humane?
As we journey together in this Year of Jubilee, the first reading sets the sacred tone—through time, through prophets, and through Scripture.
The laws brought by Moses from God were meant to bless and liberate, not to bind and oppress. They reveal the heartbeat of God, our loving Father, who desires that we live in freedom, joy, and justice.
Every Jubilee year carries the rhythm of God’s mercy—designed to empower the downtrodden, the poor, the enslaved, and broken families to return, to relish, and to remember the goodness of the Lord.
God’s intention is that no one should be crushed or brushed aside by the greedy and selfish part of humanity.
The realization of restoring dignity to the vulnerable comes when we believe, accept, and administer the truth that we are stewards, not owners, of the blessings we temporarily enjoy.
Christ is our Jubilee. Jesus is our hope and help.
So may we live as a people of Jubilee—through charitable and benevolent acts that reset, restore, return, and rejoice with those who are marginalized.
Let us move away from the mindset of slavery to fear, and refuse to become hoarders of what we are meant to share.
St. Peter Julian Eymard appreciates: “Charity is the soul of every virtue, and the Eucharist is the soul of charity.”
The beheading of John the Baptist is a grim reminder of how truth is scapegoated to please pretentious lies.
The sacrifice of good people at the altar of falsehood continues even today—for the sake of pleasure, power, and popularity.
The innocent and the truthful are too often sacrificed by the majority to appease the thirst for dominance and fake promises.
When parents become evil, selfish, and power-hungry—like Herodias—they push their children, like Salome, into roles shaped by false security.
“A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.” (Mt 7:18)
Yes, the world may silence a few good voices—Jesus, John the Baptist, and so on—
But it can never silence the power of truth and love.
God’s love boosts our immunity and courage against selfishness and sin.
Let us continue to be instruments of love, mercy, and hope to those around us.
May you have a good day.
God bless you.
