27th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A

"God has given you life, grace, opportunities, and everything needed to grow. Ask yourself today, what fruit are you producing for Him?"*

God has given each of us something to work with. Our life, our gifts, our opportunities, our faith, and the grace to become better.

The question is not simply what God has given you, but what you are doing with it.

Your faith should produce fruit. Your prayers should shape your actions. Your relationship with God should be visible in the way you love, forgive, serve, and live.

This week, take a moment to look honestly at your life. What fruit is growing from everything God has entrusted to you? Do not be content with good intentions alone. Let your faith become action and allow your life to give glory to God.

Take this to heart and carry it through the week. God is still working.

St Jerome, Priest and Doctor of the Church

The Church celebrates St Jerome, Priest and Doctor of the Church, on September 30. Jerome is especially remembered for his deep love of Sacred Scripture and his work translating the Bible into Latin. He spent years studying Scripture, languages and Christian teaching because he believed that knowing God's word was essential to knowing Christ. His famous commitment to Scripture reminds Christians that the Bible should not be treated as an ordinary book. It is God's word entrusted to the Church and meant to shape our faith and lives. The Church honours St Jerome because his scholarship and dedication helped generations of Christians encounter Sacred Scripture. His example challenges us to read, study and live God's word more faithfully. May you make Sacred Scripture a living part of your daily life and allow God's word to guide your choices.

Saints Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, Archangels

The Church celebrates Saints Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, the three Archangels named in Sacred Scripture, on September 29. Michael is associated with defending God's people against evil. Gabriel appears in the Gospel announcing God's plan to Mary and proclaiming the birth of Christ. Raphael appears in the Book of Tobit as a guide and healer. The Church honours these angels because they serve God's purposes and remind us that creation is larger than what we can see. Their presence in Scripture points to God's providence and His care for His people. They direct attention away from themselves and toward the greatness of God whom they serve. Their feast encourages Christians to remain spiritually alert and faithful to God's will. May you trust God's protection, listen for His call and remain faithful to the mission He gives you.

Saints Wenceslaus and Lawrence Ruiz and Companions

The Church remembers Saints Wenceslaus and Lawrence Ruiz and their companions on September 28. St Wenceslaus was a Christian ruler remembered for his faith, charity and commitment to the Church. St Lawrence Ruiz was a Filipino layman and father who became a martyr in Japan together with his companions. Their lives came from different cultures and circumstances, yet they shared the same faith in Christ. Their witness shows that holiness is not limited by nationality, social position or background. The Church celebrates martyrs because their lives demonstrate courageous fidelity to the Gospel, even in the face of suffering and death. They remind us that following Christ requires a faith that remains firm when circumstances become difficult. May their courage inspire you to live your Catholic faith openly, faithfully and without fear.

**26th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A**

*"In God's eyes, obedience is not measured by words, intentions, or religious appearances, but by our good actions before God. God is not only waiting for what we say. He is waiting for those words to become a reality in our lives."*

The Gospel reminds us that we can sometimes be like either of the two sons. We may say yes to God but fail to act, or we may initially say no and later change our minds and do what is right.

What matters is not simply what we promise, but whether we allow our faith to shape the way we live.

Perhaps there is something God has been asking you to change. Maybe there is a relationship that needs healing, an apology that needs to be made, a responsibility you have neglected, or a decision that requires you to return to God's will.

It is not too late to change. Your past does not have the final word. God is always giving you an opportunity to turn back, begin again, and do what is right.

Today, do not only say yes to God. **Let your yes become action.**

Take this to heart and carry it through the week. God is still working.

Saints Cosmas and Damian, Martyrs

The Church remembers Saints Cosmas and Damian, brothers and martyrs, on September 26. They were traditionally known as physicians who served the sick without seeking payment and used their skills as an expression of Christian charity. Their lives remind us that professional gifts can become a powerful way of serving God and neighbour. Their witness eventually led to martyrdom, showing that their commitment to Christ was deeper than personal comfort or success. The Church celebrates them because Christian service involves seeing every person as someone created and loved by God. Their example is especially meaningful for healthcare workers and everyone who uses their skills to care for others. They remind us that compassion is not separate from faith; it is one of its visible expressions. May you use your gifts generously and bring Christ's compassion to those who need you.

St Pius of Pietrelcina, Padre Pio

The Church celebrates St Pius of Pietrelcina, popularly known as Padre Pio, on September 23. He was a Capuchin priest remembered for his deep prayer, devotion to the Eucharist, love for the Sacrament of Reconciliation and concern for suffering people. His life was marked by intense spiritual struggles and physical suffering, yet he remained committed to Christ and the Church. Padre Pio's ministry reminds us that prayer and the Sacraments are powerful sources of Christian strength. He encouraged people to return to God with sincere hearts and trust in divine mercy. The Church celebrates him because his life points beyond himself to Christ, whom he served faithfully as a priest. May you seek God with greater sincerity and allow prayer, confession and the Eucharist to strengthen your journey of faith.

St Januarius, Bishop and Martyr

The Church remembers St Januarius, Bishop and Martyr, on September 19. He served as a bishop during a period of persecution and remained faithful to Christ despite the danger surrounding him. His martyrdom reminds Christians that the Gospel is worth defending and living even when doing so comes at a personal cost. The early Christians faced imprisonment, violence and death, yet many continued proclaiming Christ because they trusted in the promise of eternal life. The Church celebrates the martyrs because their witness shows that faith is not merely a collection of words. It is a commitment to Christ that can transform every part of life. St Januarius invites us to consider how firmly we stand when our faith is challenged. May you have the courage to remain faithful to Christ regardless of the pressures around you.

Saints Cornelius and Cyprian, Martyrs

The Church celebrates Saints Cornelius and Cyprian on September 16. St Cornelius was Pope during a difficult period of persecution, while St Cyprian was Bishop of Carthage and a respected teacher of Christian faith. Both faced opposition and eventually gave their lives as martyrs for Christ. Their witness reminds the Church that Christian leadership requires courage, faithfulness and love for God's people. They also lived during a time when Christians struggled with how to respond to those who had abandoned the faith under persecution. Their example shows the importance of both truth and mercy in the life of the Church. The Church remembers them because their faithfulness strengthened other believers and continues to inspire Christians today. May their courage encourage you to remain faithful to Christ when your faith is tested.
