You’re going to say that for the rest of your life: “Do this in memory of me.” If I were you, I would keep on repeating that in your heart right now, and you can compare later the power and the meaning it will have: “Do this in memory of me.” Because when you say those words, you allow your lips to be the lips of Jesus, you allow your hand to be the hand of Jesus, you allow your body and your blood to be the body and blood of Jesus. “Do this in memory of me.”

As we near the close of the 2025 Jubilee Year with the theme “Pilgrims of Hope,” we are invited by the Church to pause and reflect on a truth that touches us all—our mortality. In just a few weeks, we will celebrate Christmas, the birth of Emmanuel, God-with-us, who is Life himself. But before we rejoice in that beginning, the Church asks us to look towards the end—our end. As the liturgical calendar also draws to a close, we are reminded that every journey, including ours, p

The Gospel today is a story of two “pray-ees”: a Pharisee and a tax collector. At first glance, it seems clear who the protagonist and the antagonist are—but looking carefully, we are invited to ask this question: “Who am I really before God?” The Pharisee stands upright, praying not so much to God as about himself. His prayer is a list of spiritual accomplishments: fasting twice a week, giving tithes, and living a moral life. He was doing everything right—on the surface.

Today’s readings speak powerfully to moments when life asks us to hold on—when we feel weary, discouraged, or tempted to give up. They remind us that perseverance in faith is not about relying on our own strength but trusting in the One who fights for us, who never sleeps, and whose justice will surely come. In the First Reading, Moses stands atop a hill with hands raised in prayer. As long as his hands are lifted, Israel prevails. But Moses grows tired—like any of us wou
