Sunday Homily – 31 March 2024

Easter Sunday, The Resurrection of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

Also Read: Mass Readings for 31 March 2024 Mass Reading Reflection for 31 March 2024

Gospel: John 20: 1-9

There are many things you can loan for a while and return. The tomb is not one of them. Only once in the history of mankind, a tomb was hired for a weekend, and returned three days later, empty and clean. Not because the body was shifted to another tomb, but because the corpse ceased to be a corpse! Jesus is risen! Happy Easter!

Easter is the reason for Christian joy. Easter renders meaning to our crosses, our sufferings, and even our failures.

You may remember Easter Sunday, April 21, 2019, when some Islamic terrorists blasted some churches in Sri Lanka killing hundreds attending Easter Mass. Someone out there in media and political leaders who wanted to be politically neutral, called the victims ‘Easter worshippers,’ instead of calling them Christians. All Christians are indeed worshippers of the risen Jesus Christ, and thus can be called ‘Easter Worshippers.’ But our worship is not limited to Easter, we worship Jesus Christ every day of the year and every moment of our days. We are proud to be called the Easter people.

We are called to witness the resurrection of our Lord. Every action, every word, and even our thought shall witness to the risen Lord. We carry our crosses with joy because Jesus is risen. We forgive our offenders, because Jesus is risen, and so shall we. We are kind and merciful even when it hurts because the resurrected Jesus awaits us. We fight the demons inside and out because we know the resurrected Lord is with us. Yes, the Lord of Resurrection is with us! We are indeed the Easter people.

Let us remain Easter men and Easter women always. Let us continue to be Easter families and Easter communities!

Happy Easter!

Easter Sunday, The Resurrection of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

Also Read: Mass Readings for 31 March 2024 Homily for 31 March 2024 – Sunday

Alleluia!! Christ Our Lord has Risen, Alleluia!!

First Reading: Acts 10: 34a, 37-43

“God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.”

In the first reading today, St. Peter is witnessing to Christ’s life, death, and resurrection. He had lived with Christ on the Earth and was the most vociferous and bold of all the disciples, after the Pentecost. St. Peter led by example and marshalled the others too to fearlessly proclaim God’s Word!

Let us shun the old, timid self; and put on the courageous, new spirit-filled life. In Jesus’ name, Alleluia, Amen!

Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 118: 1-2, 16-17, 22-23

“The right hand of the Lord does valiantly; the right hand of the Lord is exalted; the right hand of the Lord does valiantly.” (16)

As we sing the great Alleluia, let us rejoice in the miracles in our life through Jesus Christ Our LORD.

Alleluia, Amen!

Second Reading: Colossians 3: 1-4

“For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” (3)

St. Paul is urging us today, to set our minds “on things that are above” (2). We have died with Christ to our old self and we live hidden in Christ now.  Let us remind ourselves every time we might get trapped in the material affairs of this world. Yes, we are to thrive in this life as Christ came to bring us abundance. (Jn10:10) But we may find ourselves being attacked by the enemy through worldly matters, spiritually weakening us. Yet, we are to get back up like Christ on the way to Calvary. He got up with the cross and carried it. He turned the symbol of shame into a symbol of victory for us.

Therefore, we have hope and we live in joy; through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen, Alleluia!

Alleluia: First Corinthians 5: 7b-8a

Therefore, let us celebrate the festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. (8)

Grant us the courage O Lord Jesus Christ to celebrate the festival with sincerity and truth. Amen, Alleluia.

Gospel: John 20: 1-9

Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb. (1)

“…while it was still dark…” she came to the tomb to honour her Rabbouni. Instead, she becomes the first disciple to see the Risen Christ! (Jn. 20:11-18)  Even in the darkest hours, they longed for the Lord. The disciples and Mother Mary, might not have slept since the gruesome Passion of Christ! Sts. Peter and John were also witness to his transfiguration, they were close to him. Even as John had reclined next to Jesus (Jn. 13:23) at the Last Supper he wouldn’t have imagined the impending events that were to take place. As he stood at the foot of the cross of his dying savior, St. John could have been engulfed by the darkness that was around him that day.

Yet, the first Disciples of Christ showed great courage and sincerity to believe in the truth and proclaim it! Through the intercession of the first apostles, we ask Our Lord to grant us the courage and wisdom to proclaim and live the Gospel ourselves first. Then we will become witnesses in our own corner of the world!

May Jesus Christ the Sun who enlightens all people, shine in every corner of the world today. Lord Our Saviour, give us life! (Prayer from “A Simple Prayer Book-Catholic Truth Society.”).

In Jesus’ name, Amen, Alleluia, Amen!

Happy Easter!

Holy Saturday Homily – 30 March 2024

Holy Saturday

Gospel: Mark 16: 1-7

Easter – The Empty Tomb.

The tomb is supposed to be the final confinement no man can escape. But tonight, we contemplate an empty tomb. Through the empty tomb, Jesus tells you and me that we are not destined to end in a tomb.

When one is dead, the relatives and friends take the body to the destined tomb. But many send their souls and minds to the tomb much ahead of their funeral. Many walk around with their bodies, but they happily buried themselves long ago. This Eater asks you to come out of your grave and live with Jesus!

Come out of your grave and live a free life! Because Jesus has set you free.

Jesus has set you from the chains of sins, using His blood shed on the Cross. Now live free, never again going back to the tombs of sin.

Break your chains and remove the heavy stone of pride that has confined you. Jesus is inviting you to a new life, a free and a light life.

Jesus has set you free from the bondage of hatred. Now live free of hatred. Because when you hate someone, you let yourself be under the bondage of hate.

Be free and celebrate the victory of everyone you know; because if you are uncomfortable with the victory of anyone, you are under the chains of jealousy.

Break the chains of greed and celebrate Easter; because Jesus has assured us that we have a Father in Heaven taking care of our needs.

If you have happily buried yourself in the tomb of lust, Jesus invites you to come out and live a committed life with your spouse blessed and received at the altar.

If you are lying in the tomb of laziness, with chains of social media firmly in place, Jesus is standing in front of you and calling, as He called Lazar, to come out and joyfully live a responsible life.

Be graceful and grateful at your table. Enjoy what is set for you, never forgetting that you eat to live and not live to eat! Take care not to return to the tomb of the glutton, if you were once confined to it. Jesus has set you free today.

Jesus has set us a model by coming out of His tomb. He is our ultimate possibility. If He could come out of His tomb, we too can. He is our guarantee. Once again scan your life. See if you have buried yourself in one or another tomb. If you are in one, come out of it. There is no better day to come out of your grave than this Easter day.  Jesus is waiting for you with a welcome smile.                                                    

Amen.

Good Friday Homily – 29 March 2024

Good Friday, Day of Fast (Ages 18-59) and Abstinence from Meat (Age 14 and Up)

Also Read: Mass Readings for 29 March 2024

Gospel: John 18: 1 – 19: 42

We encounter ‘a crowd’ in different readings throughout the Holy Week. We see the crowd during Palm Sunday. We see them again during the trials of Jesus. We see more of them when Jesus carries His cross to Calvary. We see the crowd watching Jesus suffer and die humiliated on the cross.

The crowd had drastically different opinions about Jesus. On Palm Sunday, the crowd saw the redeemer in Jesus. But on Thursday night, He was considered a threat to the Jewish existence. On Friday He was a total failure to the crowd and they merrily mocked him.

On this Good Friday, standing at the foot of the cross, let us ask ourselves the inconvenient question: “Am I part of a crowd?” If I always prefer to be part of a crowd and safe, I have reasons to worry. Jesus had not invited us to be part of a crowd. The crowd does not think, it acts as it is manipulated to do. When it appears to win, everyone in the crowd cheers, but in failure, the onus is conveniently passed on to someone else. Often the rulers prefer a thoughtless crowd that executes their whims and fancies, just like the crowd that cried to crucify Jesus. Do you belong to a crowd?

The twenty-first-century young saint, Blessed Carlos Acutis said, “All are born originals, but many die photocopies.”  You are not created to add a number to the crowd. God did not send His beloved Son not to make you a number in the crowd. Jesus was born in Bethlehem and slept in a cattle shed – not to make you a part of a crowd. He fled to Egypt with His parents and lived in exile – not for making you part of a crowd. He lived the life of a poor carpenter boy and toiled day and night- not to make you a number in the crowd. He received the baptism, the witnessing of the Holy Spirit, and the approval of His Heavenly Father – not to make you another person in the crowd. He gathered disciples, preached the good news, healed the sick, and went about doing good – not to make you part of a crowd.

During His last supper, He instituted the sacrament of Eucharist – not to reduce us to mere numbers in a crowd. He let himself be betrayed, denied, and judged by unjust courts – not to make us coward members of certain crowds. He suffered the whipping, the crown of thorns, the humiliations, and the heavy cross on His shoulder – not to gather an insensitive crowd. He carried the heavy cross, received more whipping, was nailed to the cross, was hanged on to the cross naked, humiliated, and counted among criminals – not to make us an unsympathetic crowd. He died the death of a criminal and received a quick burial – not to make a fast-forgetting crowd.

He resurrected, took to heaven, anointed His disciples with the Holy Spirit, and sent them across the globe so that we stand firm and strong at His side just like His mother and the couple of friends who stood by the cross. Today, at the foot of the cross, looking at His face decide if you want to be a mere number in a mindless crowd.                   

Amen.

Maundy Thursday Homily – 28 March 2024

Holy Thursday, in the Evening, begins the Easter Triduum of the Lord’ Solemnity Passion, Death and Resurrection

Also Read: Mass Readings for 28 March 2024

Gospel: John 13: 1-15

‘Can I wash you?’ Jesus is asking you.

Jesus did not bother to ask this question before washing his disciples’ feet. But Peter made him ask the question. Only with the express permission of Peter did Jesus continue. Everyone was invited and Jesus was the host. When you accept His invitation, you have to let Him wash you. Jesus sets this strange condition. Nowadays when we accept an invitation to dinner, it is our responsibility to present the best of ourselves to the table. But Jesus is different. Because He knows that with all our efforts, we will not be clean enough for His table.

Let Jesus cleanse you so that you may be perfect at his table. Jesus has invited you and me to his august table. He has invited us, even though we are not clean enough for his table. It is not another casual invitation to let go easily. If you care to be at his table, let him cleanse you and feed you with his choice of food and drink, his body and his blood.

When we show up at the confessional, we let Jesus cleanse us. When we participate in the holy mass with proper preparation, we allow Jesus to feed us with his fine delicacies. When the man and woman receive the sacrament of marriage, they allow Jesus to purify their love. With all the other sacraments, we allow Jesus to make us cleaner, stronger, and closer to Him. When we read the Bible daily and have our daily personal and family prayers, we are letting Jesus help us walk closer to Him.

At the end of the meal, He commanded His disciples to repeat what He did; clean each other and feed each other; not as an annoying duty but as an expression of the intense shared love for Jesus that we have to love and forgive. When we forgive each other, we are actually cleansing ourselves and others for Jesus’ banquet. Except for love, Jesus left no conditions for the banquet or the preparatory washing.

Earlier seeing a crowd of more than five thousand, Jesus commanded his disciples to feed them, although there were only five loaves left to share. Even if you have started with an empty basket and wish to share at His command, your basket will never go empty. Remember, the Eucharist has not ceased ever since the first Eucharist was celebrated.

During these sacred hours let us approach His table so that He may wash us and feed us with his sacred banquet.

Amen

Sunday Reflection – 24 March 2024

Palm Sunday of the Lord’ Solemnity Passion

Also Read: Mass Readings for 24 March 2024 Homily for 24 March 2024 – Sunday

First Reading: Isaiah 50: 4-7

The Lord God has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, I did not turn backward. (5)

Today we welcome the Lord God and hail him as the King! Isaiah is prophesizing about Jesus that he was not rebellious and describes him as the one who did not hide his face. All this the Lord God suffered for our redemption!

Let us also “listen as those who are taught” and not become rebellious towards our Saviour.

In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 22: 8-9, 17-18, 19-20, 23-24

“Commit your cause to the Lord; let him deliver—let him rescue the one in whom he delights!” (8)

Amen!

Second Reading: Philippians 2: 6-11

Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (9-11)

St. Paul says: “…let the same mind be in you that was in Christ.” He then proceeds to describe the humility of God! Hence, humility must be our standard.

Let us strive to remember this principle of faith. In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Gospel: Mark 14: 1 – 15: 47

For he realized that it was out of jealousy that the chief priests had handed him over. (15:10)

The Holy Week begins with the entire narration of the Passion of Christ Jesus. The gospel opens with a woman anointing Christ’s feet and closes with another set of women who watched where his body was laid. There are noteworthy characters that cross Christ’s path to the Cross and we may find ourselves drawn to any one or all of them. We also learn that the crown of thorns was an instant creation by the Roman soldiers to mock Christ as King of the Jews. The inhuman torture of God went far beyond the Jewish laws; as it was meted out by the Romans.

We may find ourselves among the crowd that was being instigated by the chief priests. Had we been witness to such horrific injustice, what would be our reaction? Would we too have joined with the crowd demanding innocent blood? Today, when we turn a blind eye to the abortions being committed in the name of liberty, are we not partaking in the murder of the innocents? Do we have the courage to stand up for Gospel values in daily life? Or do we like Iscariot, turn away from the Lord even when we have the chance to repent?

Like Peter, let us turn our gaze to the Lord! As our eyes meet the Lord’s, we have the choice to repent like Peter and receive the forgiveness of our Saviour. Let us have the courage to be humble and the humility to be courageous on our way. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Mark 11: 1-10

Among the crowd, only Jesus knew that He was making the final entry to Jerusalem. He knew He was entering Jerusalem, to be betrayed by the same disciple whom He called ‘my friend’, to be deserted by his apostles, to be denied by Peter- the trusted leader among His apostles, to be arrested, to be mocked at, to be assaulted and abused physically, to be crowned with thorns, to be flogged mercilessly, to be judged unjustly, to carry the heavy cross up to Golgotha, to be stripped naked, to be nailed to the cross, to be hanged between two criminals, and to be drained of the last drops of his blood, to cry out in acute pain and thirst, to feel as if forsaken by His Father, and thus, to receive the most dreaded capital punishment of the time. 

Yet Jesus dared to enter Jerusalem like a victorious king. Do you dare to enter your Jerusalem with Him? If you decide to walk with Jesus, at least a small portion of His cup awaits you. Are you willing to accept His cup?

As we enter the holy week today, it is all about joining Jesus in His passion. Jesus is teaching us suffering has meaning. When you willingly surrender yourself to the will of God, everything leads you to a glorious Easter.

Let us cry out to Jesus ‘Hosanna’, surrendering ourselves totally to Jesus, who Himself surrendered totally to the will of God. He surrendered Himself to the will of God, knowing pretty well that it included a humiliating, and excruciating death on the cross.

Starting today, this holy week, let us learn more from Jesus to totally surrender to God’s will. You can’t afford to miss it, because if you miss it, you are missing the glorious Easter too!

Let us join the millions to cry out loud, ‘Hosanna to the Son of God, who was crucified, died, and resurrected!’

Amen.

Sunday Homily – 17 March 2024

Fifth Sunday of Lent, Third Scrutiny of the Elect/ Lenten Mass Readings

Also Read: Mass Readings for 17 March 2024 Mass Reading Reflection for 17 March 2024

Gospel: John 12: 20-33

“Sir, we would like to see Jesus.” It was a simple request. They were not looking for a glimpse of a celebrity; they were rather looking forward to meeting with Jesus. There were some Greeks who came to worship at the Jerusalem temple. They were asking to see Jesus when he was little known beyond Judea and Galilee.

“Sir, we would like to see Jesus.” The Greeks then approached the apostle Philip with the request. It is a request echoed even after 20 centuries. There are millions of people wanting to see, feel, and experience Jesus. One of the seekers of Jesus may approach you any day.

They may or may not repeat the same phrase. But if you follow Jesus, you have a responsibility. What Philip does is a model for all of us. He seeks the help of Andrew, and both of them together go up to Jesus with the request. We may feel insufficient to take someone to Jesus. Take the help of other disciples who are willing to help.

The late British evangelist Gypsy Smith once quipped, “There are five Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and the Christian, but most people never read the first four.” You are the fifth gospel read by so many. It is not only a privilege to be a Christian, but also a responsibility.

The world needs Jesus today much more than all previous ages. It is not the time for slumber for the responsible Christian. Lent is the time to ask ourselves if we are Christian by name or are Christian by deed. If we haven’t taken anybody to Christ by our words or deeds, we require a conversion.

The Greeks, who might have heard of Jesus as they arrived in Jerusalem for the Passover, took an interest in seeking Jesus. They wanted to meet Him, talk to Him, and experience Him. As Christians, we appear to be around Jesus. It is not enough that one appears to be with Jesus. One has to strive to talk to Him, listen to Him, and experience Him. Daily prayer, daily reading of the Bible, and active sacramental life including regular confession and holy communion help us to be in touch with Jesus continuously.

Let us ask Jesus today for a burning desire as that of the Greeks, and ask Jesus Himself, “Lord, I want to see Jesus.” It is a prayer worth repeating, “Lord, I want to see you.”

Amen.

Sunday Reflection – 17 March 2024

Fifth Sunday of Lent, Third Scrutiny of the Elect/ Lenten Mass Readings

Also Read: Mass Readings for 17 March 2024 Homily for 17 March 2024 – Sunday

First Reading: Jeremiah 31: 31-34

Know Thy LORD in every minute!

No longer shall they teach one another, or say to each other, “Know the Lord,” for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sin no more. (34)

We thank the Lord God our Father for his great mercy on us. We have been disobedient towards God, quite like the Israelites from the Old Testament. Yet God has been faithful towards us and poured his Holy Spirit on us through Jesus Christ! We know God as Our Father because of Jesus Christ.

God has made the new covenant through Jesus Christ at the Last Supper. (Lk 22:14-22) Through the new covenant, we have been saved. (Heb. 9)

In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 51: 3-4, 12-13, 14-15

“Wash me and I will be Clean!”

For I know my transgressions and my sin is ever before me. (3)

Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain in me a willing spirit. (12)

In Jesus Name, Amen!

Second Reading: Hebrews 5: 7-9

Obedience!

Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. (8)

Let us not grow weary in our suffering. We must remember that Christ Jesus being the Son of God suffered and was obedient even unto death. By His death and resurrection, we have been saved.

In today’s reading, we are reminded that Christ is appointed “priest, according to the order of Melchizedek.” (Heb. 5:1-6) We thank the Lord God for our priests and all clergy and especially pray for them today.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Gospel: John 12: 20-33

Find your “Grain!”

Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. (24)

What is Christ also referring to as “The grain that dies”? Could it be a submission at the very core of our being? The grain dies but is transformed into a tree with fruit. Then let us submit our whole self, our plans, our thoughts, and our desires to the one who can grow the tree of our life! Jesus came that we may have life in abundance. (Jn 10:10)

Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” The crowd standing there heard it and said that it was thunder. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.” Jesus answered, “This voice has come for your sake, not for mine. Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out. (28 -30)

This great sign occurs in Bethany at the house of Martha, Mary, and Lazarus. The people had gathered there in a large number not only to see Jesus but also to see Lazarus who had been raised from the dead. Mary anoints his feet with nard and Jesus proclaims that she had bought it for the day of his burial. (Jn. 12:7-8) There were some Greek visitors who had come to worship in Jerusalem, among the people at the house. They all heard the voice from heaven. Each one interpreted it differently. The voice had come for our sake and not for Jesus’ sake! Yet among the witnesses were a few who wouldn’t believe! The few remained obstinate in their unbelieving heart until they jealously had the Christ crucified.

We pray today for a heart that is submissive to God. Like the Psalmist we pray, “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me. Do not cast me away from your presence, and do not take your holy spirit from me.” (Ps.51:10-11)

In Jesus’ name, Amen, Amen, Amen!
