“The Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream at night; Solomon: 'O Lord my God, you have made me your servant... But I am a mere youth.' God grants him an understanding heart.”
Father Enrique's homily reflects on the parables of the treasure and the pearl to call believers to prize the kingdom of God above all, and he highlights the World Day of Grandparents and the Elderly—honoring grandparents as vital transmitters of faith and memory while urging families to intentionally pass on and heal their spiritual legacy.
“At Gibeon, the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, and God said, Ask what I should give you... Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people... Indeed, I give you a wise and discerning mind.”
A sermon reflecting on Jesus’ parables (mustard seed, yeast, hidden treasure, pearl, and the net) and Paul’s assurance that nothing can separate us from God’s love, calling listeners to patient, active discipleship that both waits for and works toward the Kingdom—marked by mercy, justice, generosity, and the proclamation of the Gospel.
“Solomon asks God for wisdom and God agrees to give him wisdom to rule.”
A Bible study on Mark 7 that emphasizes God’s wisdom as the defining guide for human vocation as image-bearers. The sermon contrasts God’s life-giving wisdom with human traditions and idolatry, using Jesus’ confrontation with the Pharisees and the healing of a deaf-and-mute man as illustrations. Key application: seek and esteem God’s wisdom through Scripture, prayer, and Christ so we order the world to reflect heaven.
