1 Kings 18:16-40 records the battle between Proghet Elijah and four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal in a bid to establish whose God is supreme over the universe. Upon proving the supremacy of the God of Elijah over the universe, the prophets of Baal were excuted. In this passage of the Bible, particularly in 1 Kings 18:17-18, King Ahab accused Prophet Elijah to be the TROUBLER of Israel but Prophet Elijah immediately and authoritatively pointed him, Ahab, out as the ACTUAL TROUBLER of Israel. Just like Prophet Elijah, the ACCUSED/ASSUMED/PRESUMED/UNJUSTLY DECLARED AND PROSECUTED TROUBLERS of our society of today (traditional, civil, religious, academic, professional, political, etc... societies) are the true and vocal voices that challenge the ills, evils, injustices, unjust systems/structure/policies/laws etc of our time. These must never stop nor back down in the war to establish the supremacy of the God of justice, peace, fairness, truth, love, equality, equitable distributi...
Jesus loves the Blessed Virgin Mary so much. The Blessed Virgin Mary loves Jesus so much.

Does the assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary imply she's God or equates her to God? No. The Blessed Virgin Mary is human like any other human person. However, she was specifically favored and honored by God above all human beings (cf. Lk ...
TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Cry to God and call upon His name in your needs and trials and God will come through for you. St. Paul tells us in his letter to the Romans (10:13) for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Similarly, God assures us in Psalm 50:15; "and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me." Our God is ever faithful and too faithful to fail. He won't fail you in your needs. For our NINE-DAY-BEGINNING OF THE MONTH INTENSIVE PRAYERS AND NOVENA kindly pray your daily Rosary with Psalms 125, 126, 147 and Isaiah 40:26-31 from 1st to 9th June, 2023.
