Homélie de l'Année A #Jesus

In this homily for the 19th Sunday of Ordinary Time A, Father Jean-Marie Konde invites us to overcome our fears through the power of faith. Drawing on the rallying cry of Saint John Paul II, "Be not afraid!", he reminds us that our anxieties often distort reality and trap us in false suffering.

On this 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time, some churches celebrate the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This homily invites us to contemplate God's faithfulness revealed to the little ones. Faced with the trials and turmoil of the world, the pierced Heart of Christ opens as the only refuge, offering true rest to our weary souls.

Sur le Thabor, Jésus nous révèle sa gloire : il est la Manne véritable qui soutient notre marche et la puissance de la foi qui transforme nos cœurs. Portés par l'adage « la patience soutient le toit de la gloire », marchons vers le pèlerinage en transfigurant, dès cette semaine, le visage d'un frère souffrant par un acte de charité concret.

On this Sunday of the Word of God, Christ calls us to leave our securities to bring the Gospel to the "peripheries." Following the example of John the Baptist's self-effacement, Jesus' missionary zeal towards Galilee of the Gentiles, and the radical renunciation of the first apostles, we are invited to become bearers of light.

Today, through his newborn fragility, Jesus reveals to us that true power comes from humility; through her listening, Mary teaches us that the family is strengthened through harmony and unity; through his obedience, Joseph teaches us that the family is safe from all danger through listening to and sharing the Word of God. Through his incarnation, may Christ save the families of the earth.

We await the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ while supporting our lost brothers and sisters. Let us work hand in hand so that none of us misses redemption. May this first Sunday of Advent, with the first candle lit, fill us with the hope of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
