Greater Tomorrow - Pastor E. A. Adeboye March 2025 Thanksgiving Service

Jesus wasn’t just a nice guy who told us to love one another—He was deeply religious. In Matthew 5:17-19, Jesus tells us He came not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it. Yet, in today’s world, religion is often seen as rigid or outdated. Have we forgotten that Jesus fasted, observed holy days, wore religious garments, and followed rituals? This L…

Happy Solemnity of the Annunciation! Today, we celebrate the moment the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary, and she said “yes” to bringing Jesus into the world.

Why do we try so hard to fit in when Jesus calls us to stand out? 🤔 In today’s Gospel, Jesus shows us that being different is okay—in fact, it’s necessary. A prophet isn’t accepted in their own town, and as followers of Christ, we won’t always be accepted either. But you’re not alone—Christ and the saints walk with you. Will you have the courage to…

Some habits bring life. Others just exhaust the soil. 🌱 The Gospel today challenges us to take a hard look at our daily routines—what’s helping us grow, and what’s just draining us?

The Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:1-32) is one of the most powerful stories in the Gospel—but have you ever stopped to ask, Who am I in this passage? Are you the forgiving father?

Is there a part of your heart that’s closed off to Jesus? In today’s Gospel, Jesus challenges the religious leaders for their hardened hearts—could He be speaking to us, too? Fr.

Did Jesus wear religious dress? In today’s Rise Up reflection, Fr. Jonathan Meyer explores how Jesus embraced religious garments like phylacteries and tassels—items deeply rooted in Jewish tradition.

Are you giving God a teaspoon, a cup, or everything? 🙌 This Lent, we’re reminded that the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you. When we give generously—whether it’s our time, love, or resources—God pours out His blessings in ways we can’t imagine. Let’s reflect on how we can surrender more to the Lord and trust in Hi…

Who are the people in your life that don’t like you? Who persecutes you? Who are your enemies? Jesus calls us to something radical—praying for them. In today’s Rise Up reflection, Fr. Jonathan Meyer challenges us to name those who oppose us and lift them up in prayer. Could their conversion—or even our own—be part of God’s plan? Watch, reflect, and…

Forgiveness is hard, but Jesus calls us to it. In today’s Gospel reflection, we are reminded: “If you bring your gift to the altar and recall that your brother has anything against you, go first and be reconciled.” Is there someone in your life who has hurt you? Someone you need to forgive? Whether they receive it or not, forgiveness sets you free.…

Do you take time to ask God for what’s on your heart? In today’s Gospel reflection from Matthew 7, Fr. Jonathan Meyer unpacks Jesus’ invitation to Ask, Seek, and Knock (A-S-K). Too often, we hesitate to bring our personal needs to God, but He wants us to ask—because He is a good Father who desires to give us what is good. Take a moment today to wri…

In this reflection, we explore the significance of signs in our spiritual journey. Just as road signs point us toward a destination, spiritual signs are meant to lead us to a deeper relationship with Jesus. However, it’s crucial to remember that signs are not the destination themselves but guides pointing us to Christ. Let’s not become fixated on t…

Welcome to Day 7 of Rise Up! Have you ever considered the power of daily Mass?

Welcome to Day 6 of Rise Up! Today, Father Jonathan Meyer reflects on the powerful message of Matthew 25: “You did it to me.” Mother Teresa taught that these five words summarize the entire Gospel. When we serve the hungry, the thirsty, the lonely, or the suffering, we are truly serving Jesus Himself. She even used a simple five-finger prayer to re…

Welcome to Rise Up! Today, Father Jonathan Meyer challenges us to reflect on why we’re on this Lenten journey in the first place. What’s the purpose of these 40 days of prayer, fasting, and sacrifice? Simply put—it’s about Jesus. In today’s Gospel (Luke 4), we see Jesus enter the desert for 40 days of fasting. As Catholics, we follow in His footste…

In today’s Rise Up reflection, Father Jonathan Meyer dives into the powerful Gospel passage from Luke 5, where Jesus calls the unworthy tax collector, Matthew.

Being a Christian isn’t a one-time decision—it’s a daily choice. ✝️ In today’s Rise Up reflection, Fr.

In this Sunday’s homily, Fr. Hollowell reflects on Jesus’ call to forgive and what true Christian forgiveness looks like.

True reconciliation, especially within our clos…

What if we, as Catholics, have been looking at our faith from the wrong perspective? What if our desire to fit into modern culture has led us away from truly living like Jesus?
