Sunday Homily | Gospel from Jeremiah
20:7-9 | 30th of August 2026
โDo not forget Peter and the rest of the disciples, you are my disciples and the disciples are to follow the teacher dili lang sa unsay gitudlo ni Hesus kundi you have to follow kung unsa pud ang pagadangatan sa atong kinabuhi didto sa Jerusalem. No one is to be my disciple unless one denies oneself, takes up oneโs wrongs and follows after me.โ
The gospel of today reminds us that we might be granted with worldly objects and necessities for us to survive and live, this shall not be converted to something that indicates self-entitlement. As a Christian, our obligation does not end with following the words of God. However, it is extended to how we opt to live our lives in a way that it does show contentment, acquisition of an enough needs and must be regarded as a possession for necessity rather than a representation of superiority.
We are to not surpass where Jesus ought us to be, nor subvert what He directs us to do. As Christians we are to remain as a follower of our own teacher and that is Jesus.
