The Devil Wants Your Eyes on Your Failures. Look at Jesus!

Homily for Saturday  July 18th 2026 | What is more important: what we have done for God, or what Jesus has done for us? . In this powerful reflection, Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC reminds us that the Christian life is not centered on what we have done for God; but on what Jesus Christ has done for us.The devil wants us trapped in self-condemnation, constantly focused on our weaknesses and failures. But Christ invites us to lift our eyes to His Cross, His Divine Mercy, and His Eucharistic Presence. "Lord, I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed." Those words remind us that salvation is not earned; it is received through the mercy of Christ. Today, Jesus invites you to stop staring at your failures and start contemplating His infinite mercy. Fix your eyes on Him. Receive His healing. Let His love transform your heart. "He is the One who makes us worthy." Readings for July 18th 2026: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/071826.cfm

The Scripture readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/120525.cfm To encounter Christ is to encounter the One who heals—physically, spiritually, supernaturally. Today’s Gospel reminds us that miracles are not mythology but reality. Two blind men cry out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on us.” Their plea becomes the seed of what the Church would later cherish as the Jesus Prayer—“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”
