HOMELIES DE L'ANNEE C #Espérance

On this sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, let us celebrate the mystery of salvation with all humility, sitting at the feet of Him through whom the promises of God the Father are fulfilled. He shows us the priceless glory of the mystery of salvation among all nations, and this in the hope of glory.

The mystery of the Holy Trinity, which the Church celebrates just after Pentecost Sunday, reveals to us the glory that God holds from before the beginning until eternity. The One God in Three Persons can only be better understood through the love he manifests and through the faith and hope of our disciples in him.

Since the first Sunday of Advent, the entire Church has adopted an attitude of gentleness tinged with the calm of waiting. This is even noticeable in the liturgy of the Mass, which suspended the singing of Gloria during the time of Advent. Basically, it is not melancholy that is expressed when the Church adopts this attitude. Rather, it is an invitation to all the faithful to deepen their hope in the One who comes to dispel our darkness with the great light. This is why we meditate on his promises by adopting attitudes that reveal that we are not without hope in our existential journey.
