Today’s theme is ‘To God be the glory’. Ultimately the goal of Christian life is to glorify God eternally. How do we give glory to God? How do we glorify God when everything belongs to God.

We can taste and experience God’s glory and take part in giving glory to God. We look to our blessed mother and St Irenaeus of Lyon who said, ‘The glory of God is when humanity is full alive.’

We are not fully alive as sin is within us. What does being fully alive mean?

In the Magnificat- ‘my soul glorifies the Lord’- Mary did that by living a God-centred life, in God’s grace, allowing the attributes of God in her person.

What do we mean when we say, ‘Glory be to God’?

It means that we radiate attributes of God and are loving to people such that others are able to experience the lovingness of God- that’s how we glorify God. Let us be vessels, instruments to radiate the love of God.

Beginning with the story of a little girl drawing God, Fr. Glenn reminds us that although we cannot see God directly, we encounter Him in the love we show one another.

Through the painful story associated with Holocaust and "Where is God?", Fr. Glenn points to the Cross, where God is present in love and sacrifices. Doubt is not the opposite of faith. Even Jesus experienced abandonment on the Cross, and saints endured the "dark night of the soul." These moments do not destroy faith; they purify and deepen it.

True faith is never passive as shown with the centurion's trust and Mary's loving service to Elizabeth. Fr. Glenn invites us, in our own struggles, to pray with the faith: "Lord, just say the word, and it will be healed."

Fr. Terence shares candidly about receiving both appreciation and complaint letters in the Church. While genuine feedback is always welcomed, a recent letter stirred something deeper in him — not because of the issue raised, but because of the spirit in which it was written.

This experience led him to invite everyone to reflect on how we discern and challenge one another as a faith community. Do we come to Church with gratitude, seeing it as a privilege to worship together? Or do we come with entitlement, expecting everything to be done according to our comfort and preferences?

Fr. Terence reminds us that true discernment is rooted in humility, love, and openness in a Christ-like way, and are we willing to be part of the solution.

Growth in a faith community requires each of us to take shared responsibility — and to challenge one another with humility and love.
