Remembering Grace, Living in Humility - Homily 29th January 2026

King David was far from perfect. He was ambitious, weak, and at times sinful, yet what set him apart was his deep awareness of God’s mercy. He remembered where he came from, and when he failed he repented and returned to the Lord. His life teaches us that holiness is not about being perfect, but about allowing ourselves to be shaped again and again by God’s grace through humility and trust.

Like King David, we are called to be a light in the world not by pretending to be strong or righteous, but by being authentic witnesses who repent when we fail, and point others back to God’s mercy.

Reflection Question: What personal experience of God’s grace or mercy do I return to in order to remain humble, grateful, and aware that all I am and have is truly a gift from Him?
