23rd Sunday of the Year - B: Love, the Lord does not discriminate; Open our hearts, Lord, so that we may obey the words of your Son. The opening hymn expresses God's love and He does not discriminate: You are just, Lord, and your judgements are just. According to your kindness, your servant will be treated. Before the Lord, all men are equal, as it is written in James 2:5: Listen, my beloved brother: has not God chosen the poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith, and to inherit the kingdom he has promised to those who love him? Many people are oppressed by hardship and cannot socialise with others, many are victims of stigmatisation...
21st Sunday of the Year - B : Choose Christ, serve Christ; Spirit and life, Lord, the words you have spoken. You have the words of eternal life. The book of Joshua recounts the events that marked the entry of the people of Israel into the promised land. Joshua was a judge who gathered the people together in a place called Shechem; Joshua forced the Israelites to choose which god they wanted to worship.

The sacred bread is enough to satisfy everyone's hunger, as it says in Proverbs: Come and eat my bread, and drink the wine that I have mixed. Abandon ignorance and you will live; and go on the path of enlightenment". My flesh is edible and my blood is drinkable, says Jesus; eating the Body of Jesus and His Blood will give you many graces and you will inherit eternal life. It takes dignity to receive the Eucharist, it takes faith, it takes humility...
19th Sunday of the Year - B: Faith in the Eucharist is necessary; I am the way, the truth and the life, says the Lord; no one comes to the Father but through me. Just like Elijah's experience of escaping the wrath of Jezahela, faith and trust in God are necessary, insofar as he received enough food to be able to cross the desert for 40 days and 40 nights; thanks to the strength that this food gave him, he climbed the mountain of God. The Jews doubted Jesus' words when he said: I am the living bread that came down from heaven. They said, "Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose parents we know? The Eucharist requires faith...
