## Resource

Today’s homily explores the priesthood of Jesus Christ, emphasizing that His humanity and ultimate sacrifice serve as a model for Christian living. I explain that while humans are born to die, this inevitable end is merely a stage toward eternal life that requires embracing both joy and suffering. By reflecting on the agony in Gethsemane, believers are encouraged to unite their personal hardships with Christ’s will, transforming distress into a meaningful path to resurrection. True maturity is presented as the ability to remain joyful while carrying one’s own cross, much like the Virgin Mary did during the Passion. Ultimately, the homily serves as an exhortation to imitate Jesus through prayer and to offer up life’s trials as a means of participating in his divine victory.
