Fr. Michael Osatofoh Eninlejie, MSP - Homily for Friday Week 30 Ordinary time - October 30, 2020

FRIDAY 30TH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR II EPHESIANS 1:1-11, LUKE 14:1-6 TO GOD BE THE GLORY I can only imagine the level of joy in the heart of St Paul when he was writing the first reading of today. St Paul is very fulfilled and happy about the work he did in Philippi. He is very happy because those he ministered to listened to him and did what he told them. There is nothing greater for a priest of God to see the people of God doing well in their faith and happy. St Paul is therefore praying for them, that God will give them the grace to carry on the good works till the end. In the gospel reading, Jesus is not happy with the lawyers and pharisees who have refused to learn the truth and basic necessities of the faith, but picking issues in things that are not important. We pray like st Paul today, that almighty God will grant us the grace to carry on our good works to the end. God help us. Amen. Fr Michael Osatofoh Eninlejie MSP
