The Kingdom of God Is Near: Healing the Past, Transforming the Future
The Kingdom of God Is Near: Healing the Past, Transforming the Future
In today's powerful homily, Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC, reflects on the growing shortage of priests around the world and the urgent need to pray for vocations to the priesthood, religious life, the diaconate, and seminaries. Through inspiring examples from mission territories, he reminds us that the faithful must pray for their shepherds and support those whom God is calling to serve His Church.
Fr. Anthony also speaks about the healing power of Christ and the signs of the Kingdom of God, healing the sick, deliverance, and spiritual renewal. He reminds us that every Mass is a healing Mass, where Jesus desires to heal our physical illnesses, emotional wounds, and painful memories from the past. As disciples of Christ, we are called to pray for healing, seek God's grace, and trust in His power to transform our lives.

Fr. Anthony Gramlich reminds us that peace does not begin with politicians, treaties, or worldly agreements—it begins in the human heart. Even the most powerful leaders cannot bring lasting peace if the heart of man remains in turmoil. As Fr. Anthony says, “The war doesn’t begin on the outside. It begins with hatred—hatred toward your brother.” We can sign countless peace agreements, but as long as hearts are not reconciled to God, those agreements will crumble.
