REFLECTION OF THE WORD OF GOD, Sunday August 16th, 2026

The theme of the universality of faith is the message of today’s readings. Most of us are used to thinking that faith is only for a privileged few and those who are not like us have no right to believe in it. But today’s Bible readings tell us that everyone is called to believe in Christ, regardless of race, country, language…

This Sunday is a reminder to think more openly, not to close the doors to those who are different from us. Because we are all children of God, and we want everyone’s happiness. He calls everyone to his house, and he wants this house to be a place of prayer for all. With Christ, let us be welcoming and welcome to all.
