In today's profound Homily, the celebrant tackles the universal human struggle with sin, drawing on St. Paul’s famous words: "I do the evil that I do not want". He reflects on the triggers for sin in our lives and Christ's urgent call to "judge for yourselves what is right" and seek timely reconciliation.

The Scriptures bring this internal and external urgency into sharp focus:

The First Reading from Romans 7:18-25 is a powerful, honest confession of the struggle between the "law of my mind" and the "law of sin that dwells in my members". The question "Miserable one that I am, who will deliver me from this mortal body?" is answered with the triumph of grace: "Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord".

The Holy Gospel according to Luke (12:54-59) warns against spiritual blindness, criticizing those who "know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky" but "not... the present time". Jesus urges us to settle matters and reconcile "on the way", before facing the ultimate Judge.

Learn why recognizing the "triggers" for sin and embracing the Sacrament of Reconciliation is the path to freedom and grace.
