Father Eustace's Homily Notes

By Ingrid Mattes July 8, 2026
Today's Word of God asks each one of us a question that no one can answer for another: When I stand before God, among which group will I be found?
By Father Eustace Okorie July 1, 2026
Today's message is simple but life-changing: Choose to live in the Spirit and not in the flesh. St. Paul reminds us that "those who live according to the flesh cannot please God," but those who are led by the Spirit become children of God.

Today’s readings call us to reflect on a beautiful but often neglected Christian duty: receiving, supporting, encouraging, and caring for the messengers of God.
By Father Eustace Okorie June 17, 2026
The readings today invite us to remain focused on God and never allow fear to silence our faith. We live in a world where truth is often rejected, and those who stand for what is right are sometimes criticized, isolated, or misunderstood.

"I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever" (John 6:51).

Today the Church celebrates the great solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, the mystery of One God in Three Divine Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Though this mystery is beyond human understanding, it is not beyond human experience, because every day we live under the love of the Father, the grace of the Son, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

Today the Church celebrates the great feast of Pentecost — the day the frightened disciples became courageous witnesses through the power of the Holy Spirit. Pentecost is often called the “birthday of the Church,” because it was on this day that the Church received the divine strength to continue the mission of Jesus Christ in the world.

Today, Holy Mother Church celebrates the glorious Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ into heaven, forty days after His Resurrection.
By Fr. Eustace Okorie May 7, 2026
The Church gently reminds us today that we are standing at the threshold of a great mystery—the Ascension of our Lord is near. The question before us is simple but urgent: Are we truly preparing?

The Word of God today reminds us of a powerful truth: “You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation” (1 Peter 2:9). This is not just a title—it is a calling. God, in His love, has intentionally chosen every one of us, not because of our merit, but because of His mercy. His plan of salvation is not limited; it is universal. Yet, it becomes effective only when we accept it.
