In the spiritual life, we can sometimes be like children, forever asking for one more sign, one more piece of evidence, before we commit ourselves fully.

Today, the Word of God offers us a powerful image of hope and a model of trust, assuring us that God’s word is not a hollow sound, but a life-giving force that always achieves its purpose when received by a heart made ready.

The Word of God pulls holiness down from the clouds and plants it firmly in the soil of our daily interactions.

The Church shows us the root of our human struggle, not to discourage us, but to reveal the breathtaking scope of God’s rescue mission.

“God is our real Father who never tires of showing mercy to us. He will never abandon us in our difficulties. He will lead us by hand. He hears our prayers,” Bishop John La Sam reminded the faithful.

In his homily, Archbishop Marco Tin Win of Mandalay Archdiocese offered prayers for the community's prosperity and unity.

The season of Lent calls us to authentic conversion—not a superficial change of habits, but a deep reorientation of our hearts toward God and neighbor.

"The Religious Affairs and Finance Committees are the dual pillars of our religious community," Fr. John Soe Tint stated. "By convening here, we ensure every member is fully aligned with the rules and responsibilities required of them."

"Peace does not begin with the government. Peace begins from our hearts," the Myanmar Cardinal emphasized. "Mary invites us to be builders of peace."

Is it a spiritual exercise for our own benefit, or does it have a deeper, more transformative purpose?
