English Homily Second Sunday of Moses - 2024

. . .

Pride can be both a virtue and the root of all sin, as seen in Lucifer’s rebellion against God. It manifests in every sin as a rejection of God’s work in us. The Gospel story of Jairus, a powerful synagogue leader, illustrates that true grace comes when we humble ourselves and ask for help. Despite his status, Jairus had to let go of pride and seek Jesus to heal his daughter. This teaches that miracles happen when we acknowledge our need for God. Whether facing addiction, anger, or depression, both prayer and seeking professional help are vital. True faith means stubbornly believing that Jesus can rewrite our story, even in our darkest moments.
