On the 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Fr. Paul reflects on St. Paul’s assurance that nothing external can separate us from the love of Christ, while also stressing the Christian call to perseverance and obedience. Drawing on the Gospel of the feeding of the five thousand, he highlights Jesus’ deep compassion and God’s abundant care for his people. The homily connects Scripture, suffering, grace, and salvation, encouraging listeners to trust in God’s love while continually turning back to him in repentance. It is a message of confidence, conversion, and hope in the Lord who feeds both body and soul.
