“Take my yoke upon you.” Adopt my teaching as your rule of life. “Learn from me.” IMITATE ME; strive to become other Christs. The only way to attain union with God is to imitate Christ. “I am the way.” “I am gentle and humble of heart.”

In today's first reading, Saint Paul says: We are the family of God , built upon the foundation of the apostles. This is the mystery of the Church; the mystical body of Christ. The Church is Christ, of whom we are a part through baptism. The baptized person is in Christ; he/she unites with Him, becomes one with Him; therefore, he/she is part of God's family. It is also built upon the foundation of the apostles. Our faith rests on the testimony of the apostles; the tes

What is the thing that harms people the most? What is true evil? We can say it's diseases. These only harm the body. Poverty, suffering, abandonment? These things only harm the body. Death? It only harms the body, it ends physical life, but we know that we have an immortal soul…

Today the Church joyfully celebrates the birth of John the Baptist . This holiday is very special because the Church usually celebrates the death anniversaries of saints, not their birthdays . This is because, in the Christian understanding, death is not the end, but the birth into eternal life . The day of the death of the saints is the day they are reborn into a new life in eternal union with God.

"Do to others as you would like to be done to you, for that is the law and the prophets." Jesus shows us the essence of the Ten Commandments , the essence of the Law . This is not simply about not doing evil.

My dear brothers and sisters, Today, we have gathered with great joy to celebrate the wedding of N. and N. The Bible readings we listen to speak to us of the most beautiful and essential truth of human life: love. But this is no ordinary love. This is true love, originating from God and exemplified by Jesus Christ.

In the Bible, the Lord teaches us to put the salvation of our soul above all else . The most important thing is to go to heaven. That is why he tells us three times not to fear people; because they can only kill the body, they can do nothing else. But to avoid fear, one needs to trust something or someone. Some will rely on their own strength. In this case, they will not remain faithful to God, because: “Salvation, glory, and power belong to our God ” (Revelation

The Lord commands us to store up treasures in heaven. How can we, who live on earth, do this? What is the connection between the earth and the sky? We will use an analogy to explain this: To shop in Türkiye, you need "Turkish lira"; you cannot make a fortune in Türkiye with Brazilian currency.

In today's Gospel (Matthew 6:7-15), Jesus teaches us a fundamental truth of Christian life: how to pray. His disciples saw him praying frequently and noticed that his prayers were different. Jesus not only teaches us some words, but also explains the inner attitude we should have when praying and gives us the most perfect prayer: the Lord's Prayer (Our Father in Heaven).

In today's Gospel, Jesus gives us a very important spiritual lesson. He speaks of giving alms, praying, and fasting; but the real emphasis is not on the actions themselves, but on the intention with which we perform them.

Jesus commands us to love our enemies. What is love? Love is not just an emotion; it is much more than that. Love is seeking, wanting, and striving for the well-being of the beloved . It is striving for the good of another. But the love Jesus wants from us goes beyond this: True love is wanting the well-being of the beloved, but it is wanting the highest , absolute good, and that is the salvation of the soul. Therefore, the person who strives, desires, and does every

I begin this sermon with this question: What did Jesus love most? What did Jesus desire most? After his Father, the thing Jesus loved most was people. “As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; remain in my love.” (John 15:9) We know that true love desires the well-being of the beloved. And the greatest good for a person is salvation.

In today's Gospel, we encounter one of the most beautiful qualities of Jesus' heart: His compassion. Saint Matthew tells us that when Jesus saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were weary and miserable, like sheep without a shepherd. Jesus does not view crowds merely as a community. He sees each person individually. He knows people's suffering, fears, sins, struggles, and hopes.

We already know the story of the Sacred Heart's appearance to Saint Margaret; Jesus Christ appears to a nun and shows her His heart. He says, “This is the Heart that loves people very much; but in return for this love, it receives contempt and ingratitude from many .” And the Lord continues, “At least you, try to mend my heart .” Before moving on to the benefits of being devoted to the Heart of Jesus, I want to answer four questions; two of which are taken from the sermon of

Today the Church celebrates The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. The Holy Eucharist, today, passes through many streets of cities all over the world, to be worshipped by all. Beautiful tapestries are made throughout the city to honor Jesus' presence in the Eucharist.

Today, the Church celebrates the great feast of the Holy Eucharist throughout the world. While Corpus Christi is celebrated on Thursday in many parts of the world, in some countries and regions, as here, the celebration is shifted to Sunday. In this way, more believers can participate in the mystery of the Eucharist and together express their faith in the true presence of the Lord.

Today the church commemorates Saint Charles Lwanga and his 21 fellow martyrs. Between 1885 and 1887, they were martyred by King Mwanga of Uganda for being Christians and condemning the King's actions. Many were tortured and burned alive. Rather than renounce their faith in Jesus Christ, they chose to sacrifice their lives. Their testimony continues to deliver a powerful message to the Church and to every believer today. This commemoration day poses this question to u

On Sunday, after Pentecost, the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. After the resurrection, we waited 50 days before celebrating the Holy Spirit. We celebrate the sending of the Holy Spirit, promised many times by Jesus and awaited by the apostles.

Today's Bible text teaches us the importance of persistence in prayer and faith in Jesus. When the blind beggar heard that Jesus had passed by, he began to cry out, “Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me!” He cried out because he knew and believed that Jesus could heal him.

Today we celebrate the great feast of Pentecost. The great day awaited by all and promised by Jesus is taking place today. Today is the day the apostles received the Holy Spirit and the day the Church was born. Forty days after Easter, Jesus ascended to heaven. Fifty days after Easter, he sent the Holy Spirit to us. The word "Pentecost" comes from the Greek word " pentakoste ," meaning "fiftieth ." Today is the fiftieth day after Easter.
