God Is Doing Something New

Click for More

In today’s Gospel, we see the profound blessing of hearing and observing the Word of God—and no one exemplifies this more perfectly than our Blessed Mother Mary. She devoured the Scriptures, rejoiced in the Word made flesh, and prepared the way for Christ. As John the Baptist said, “He must increase; I must decrease.”

Our world today is filled with confusion and moral collapse, yet we can trust in the Gospel and the traditions of the Church. Prophets like Joel, and apparitions of Our Lady—La Salette, Lourdes, Fatima, Akita—call us to repentance, but also offer hope. Joel speaks of the harvest, and Our Lady promises triumph and peace through her Immaculate Heart.

We are living at the close of an age, a time for the faithful to witness God doing something new. Just as new wine requires fresh wineskins, God is bringing a renewal in the Spirit. The harvest is ripe, and the reapers are angels sent by God. We can rejoice in this promise, trusting in the triumph of Our Lady and the blessings awaiting the faithful.

Explore the depth of this triumph in our video series Days of Elijah and the Coming Triumph, available on DivineMercyPlus.org. God is doing something new—let us be hopeful and prepared.

When Jesus warns that “it will be for the one who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich in what matters to God” (Lk 12:21), He invites us to ask a deeper question: What truly matters to God? Wealth itself is not evil — Scripture shows that God entrusts riches to some for the good of others. But when wealth becomes our comfort, our security, or our idol, it becomes a chain that binds the soul.

Standing Boldly in Hope: Lessons from the Maccabean Martyrs

In today’s homily, Fr. Mark Baron reflects on the harrowing story from 2 Maccabees: a mother witnessing the martyrdom of her seven sons for refusing to abandon God’s law. As Fr. Mark highlights, the woman’s courage was rooted in hope—hope in God’s providence, mercy, and the promise of eternal life. This hope allowed her to endure unimaginable suffering, guiding her sons to remain steadfast, even in the face of death (2 Maccabees 7:1–31).

God Came Down So We Could Be Raised Up

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/123025.cfm The mystery of Christmas overturns every illusion of self-salvation. God does not wait for humanity to climb back to Him. He comes down. Father Anthony Gramlich, MIC, draws us into this central truth of the Incarnation: Fallen humanity cannot raise itself by its own efforts. Grace is not something we generate. Redemption begins with divine humility.
