The homily reflects on a delicate but important topic—standing up for the dignity of human life while never forgetting the mercy of Jesus. Through personal experiences at the March for Life and years of pro-life ministry, we are reminded that the pro-life message is not about anger or judgment, but about love, compassion, and hope. Even in the face of deep wounds and difficult choices, God’s mercy is always available. Looking to the message of Fatima, this reflection calls us back to prayer, sacrifice, and trust that God can change hearts.

On the Feast of Saint Agnes, we reflect on how God brings about great victories through small and humble lives. Saint Agnes was only a young girl, yet her love for Christ gave her incredible courage. Like David facing Goliath, she stood firm in her faith and trusted God completely. Her life reminds us that true strength does not come from power or size, but from belonging to Christ. Even when the world seems overwhelming, God is always victorious.

In today’s homily, we are reminded that there is no need to compete or compare in our faith. God knows our hearts and invites us to rest in Him. In every Eucharist, He gives us everything—His grace, His mercy, and His love. We are invited to trust, receive, and rest in what God freely gives. God provides.
