Transitioning to a Gospel passage from Matthew, the narrative explores the story of the Roman centurion whose profound humility and faith astonished Jesus. This biblical encounter serves as a catalyst for a deeper discussion of one’s ultimate concern and where one places one's fundamental trust. I warn against the dangers of superstition and relying on worldly powers, using the tragic example of King Saul to illustrate the consequences of abandoning God. Ultimately, the homily encourages listeners to cultivate unwavering faith and consistently turn to the Divine for strength amid life's challenges.","meta_description":"In this reflection, I recount a recent visit to a parish dedicated to St. Josemaria Escriva, highlighting the warm reception and the sanctuary's beauty.
