TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Like Bartimaeus, many of us; as individuals, families, communities, nations, races and even our entire generation may be feeling so helpless and desperately in need of God's helpless, given the unhealthy circumstances prevalent around us and in our life today. Nevertheless, we're not to despair nor get overwhelmed by challenges for our help shall come from the Lord God, the maker of heaven and earth. It's in the light of this uncontestable fact that we can now cry out to God in the words of Bartimaeus "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on us" for the help of man has failed us. May God's help not fail you. 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.                       Kindly listen to today's episode of my podcast for details of today's homily.                                                      

Mon. May 29th, 2023 Homily in Brief.

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF.  Unlike the disobedience or Eve and Adam that severed the relationship of God with humanity and the subsequent expulsion of humanity from the garden of Eden (the old church), the obedience of Mary marked the beginning of the realisation of the salvific work of God in Christ Jesus. Haven reconciled humanity and the universe to God, Christ Jesus hands over His newly founded Church to the maternal role of Mary. This sets Mary forth as a model of obedience for us.

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. The fool sacrifices the hope of the future on the altar of immediate and transient gains while the wise undertakes self discipline, self denial and hardwork to secure the hope of the future. Do not sacrifice the glory of tomorrow for the pleasures and gains of today.

Fri. May 26th, 2023 Homily in Brief.

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF.  Dearly beloved of God, today Jesus Christ gives us the charge to care for all people with a view to ensuring the integral and holistic salvation of all.

Thur. May 25th, 2023 Homily in Brief.

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Just as it's literally impossible to break a bundle of broom but the individual sticks of the brooms that make up the bundle can all be broken one by one within seconds, so too when united in God we can hardly be broken but always succeed. Division would only bring about our downfall and failure in our Christian calling. No divided group makes significant positive impacts in human society. As the children of God, we must stand united always in the Holy Spirit.

Wed. May 24th, 2023 Homily in Brief.

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Our Lord Jesus Christ prays passionately for the oneness of the Christian people today; a unity that is not meant to be limited to a common nomenclature, uniform, ritual, colour or race. It is a unity that is rather grounded in knowing and doing the will of God; a unity founded in and sustained by the Holy Spirit. Let us be one in virtue and in the pursuit of values of the kingdom of God here on earth.

Tue. May 23rd, 2023 Homily in Brief.

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Just like Jesus Christ did, our perseverance in doing the will of God even amidst persecutions amounts to glorifying God and God in turn glorifies His own by virtue of their perseverance. The power and authority we enjoy from God are given to be employed in the service of God and our fellow human beings in view of the integral and holistic salvation of all. Amidst all, stay faithful in virtue and God Himself will glorify You.

Thur. May 18th, 2023 Homily in Brief.

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Though crucified a victim, Jesus Christ rose triumphant a Victor and ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of God the Father, the place of the fulness of authority. With this Divine authority, God the Father confirms Jesus's power over death, darkness and evil. Jesus Christ, therefore, charges us under the same authority to go making disciples of all nations and baptising them. You and I share in this authority to the extent that we possess the Holy Spirit.

Wed. May 17th, 2023 Homily in Brief.

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Having one's life guided by falsehood, faulty foundations and ungodly principles can be self destructive and misleading. In fact, the Scripture relates that "there is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death" (cf. Proverbs 14:12). To escape this danger and live enjoying the fulness of God's companionship and blessings, we are to be guided the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit.

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. The Holy Spirit is the agent of evangelisa as such. We're only participating in the course of evangelisation as His own instruments. To this effect, we must seek to have the Person of the Holy Spirit and work under His inspiration and guidance in order to be effective and efficient in accordance with the will of God.

WE NEED THE COUNSELOR. HOMILY OF SUNDAY MAY 14TH, 2023 (SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER, YEAR A) by FadaPeterBenson. WE OBVIOUSLY NEED THE COUNSELOR IN THIS OUR GENERATION MUCH MORE THAN ANY OTHER GENERATION.

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. There is always a call addressed to each of us to come over to a brother or sister in need of our helping hand.

Fri. May 12th, 2023 Homily in Brief.

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. The supreme commandment of God is love. Love means different things to different people in different epochs. Jesus Christ presents Himself to us today as the definition of true love and his style of loving as the model with which we're to love one another. Are you loving and being loved as Christ Jesus loved?

Thur. May 11th, 2023 Homily in Brief.

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. The Christian faith is meant to be a blessing, not a burden. It is meant to lighten the burden of human beings (cf. Matt. 11:28), set captives free (cf. Lk. 4:18) and deliver us from our afflictions (cf. Jn. 8:36). Christianity should not be a source of burden; bringing any form of yoke, misery and pains to its adherents. God sent Jesus Christ to save humanity and deliver us from all forms of bandage (cf. Lk. 4:18-19). The Christian faith is meant to pursue, promote and fulfil this very core value of set out by Jesus Christ. Is your practice of Christianity a blessing or a burden to you and are you making Christianity a source of blessings or burden unto others by your practice of Christianity?

Sun. May 7th, 2023 Homily in Brief.

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. We're created to serve God and humanity. In serving, we're served. This is because in serving God, we're saved, and in serving our fellow human beings, we become God's instruments in saving humanity, which in turn is the greatest service that we can enjoy in life. The call to service must carry on board these two dimensions: namely, service to God and humanitarian service. This enables us to give everything in reality their rightful place and relate with each accordingly. For our NINE-DAY-BEGINNING OF THE MONTH INTENSIVE PRAYERS AND NOVENA kindly pray your daily Rosary with Psalms 20, 77, 123 and 1 Samuel 16:1-13 from 1st to 9th May, 2023.                       Kindly listen to today's episode of my podcast for details of today's homily.                                                                                                 Please follow, subscribe to, like, share and comment on our YouTube channel and Facebook page   @ Etern

Sat. May 6th, 2023 Homily in Brief.

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF.  Thomas, in today's Gospel, says to Jesus; Lord, show us the Father, and we shall be satisfied. This request is informed by a deep desire to have a personal knowledge of the person of God. This knowledge sorted after is one that will transform the life of the followers of Jesus Christ to the point of becoming like Jesus and God the Father. It's a quest to become one with God. This knowledge of and intimacy with God is brought about by close and intimate personal relationship with Jesus Christ, who is one with the Father. This in turn leads to genuine and eternal satisfaction.  For our NINE-DAY-BEGINNING OF THE MONTH INTENSIVE PRAYERS AND NOVENA kindly pray your daily Rosary with Psalms 20, 77, 123 and 1 Samuel 16:1-13 from 1st to 9th May, 2023.                        Kindly listen to today's episode of my podcast for details of today's homily.                                                                                                  Pl

Fri. May 5th, 2023 Homily in Brief.

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Though Jesus Christ may not have lived in His human form in our epoch. Nevertheless, His lifestyle remains a model to all the living. He subjected his will to the will of God in an unreserved manner. He spent Himself serving; a way of life we are to imbibe in imitation of Him. Hence, in order to serve like He did, we must be ready to tolerate others and forgive their flaws and, as only God can be ground and reason substantial enough to serve others without any expectation nor renumeration. For our NINE-DAY-BEGINNING OF THE MONTH INTENSIVE PRAYERS AND NOVENA kindly pray your daily Rosary with Psalms 20, 77, 123 and 1 Samuel 16:1-13 from 1st to 9th May, 2023.                       Kindly listen to today's episode of my podcast for details of today's homily.                                                                                                 Please follow, subscribe to, like, share and comment on our YouTube channel and Facebook page   @ Ete

Tue. May 2nd, 2023 Homily in Brief.

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. My faith is my identity. The genuine practice of the Christian faith distinguishes Christians from other members of the society. In fact, the name Christian was used to identify the followers of Jesus Christ in Antioch because their lifestyle was modelled after that of Jesus Christ, something that merited them being described as Christ-like. If you're a true Christian, it will be seen in your way of life and not just in your words, name and uniform. For our NINE-DAY-BEGINNING OF THE MONTH INTENSIVE PRAYERS AND NOVENA kindly pray your daily Rosary with Psalms 20, 77, 123 and 1 Samuel 16:1-13 from 1st to 9th May, 2023.                       Kindly listen to today's episode of my podcast for details of today's homily.                                                                                                 Please follow, subscribe to, like, share and comment on our YouTube channel and Facebook page   @ Eternal Word of Life Ministry-#FadaPeter
