Beloved Parishioners,

Today I want to share with you a reflection on the priesthood of all the faithful. It means that every baptized Catholic participates in the kingship, the priesthood, and the prophethood of Christ since they are baptized in Christ and since Christ is the source of all priesthood (CCC 1141, 1268, 1546; cf. 1174, 1322).

Beloved Parishioners,

The reflection here is a follow-up to last week’s reflection on the Jubilee year and its origin and significance. If you had no opportunity of reading last week’s reflection it will help you more if you go through the last week to get a complete explanation of the entire reflection.

In the previous bulletin of December 29, 2024, I shared a little about the Jubilee year and its origin. The explanation I gave in that write-up was not detailed, hence, in today’s reflection I want to share a more comprehensive explanation of the Jubilee year and what it means for us as Christians. It would be in two sessions. The second part of this reflection will be concluded next Sunday.

My reflection today is centered on how to keep our faith alive, especially in our current challenging world. We need not bother ourselves rehearsing the theological definition of faith for we already know that faith is a theological virtue alongside hope and charity which are infused by God into our souls, allowing us to act in accordance with his will.
