In the Hands of the Divine Potter

In today's homily, Fr. Mark Baron, MIC reflected on God's attributes: He is good, merciful, powerful, truthful, and sovereign. God's sovereignty reminds us that He is the highest authority over all creation and salvation history, providing a firm foundation for our spiritual and emotional lives. Using the image of the potter and the clay, Fr. Mark encouraged us to trust God's loving plan. We are called to humbly accept how God has created us and allow Him to shape our lives according to His wisdom. When we surrender to His will, we find peace and purpose; when we resist, our lives can become chaotic. He concluded by asking us to reflect: Am I allowing God, the Divine Potter, to shape my life with His love, wisdom, and mercy?
