The Word of God today presents us with a profound and urgent choice: where do we place our ultimate trust? What is the true source of our life?

In Jeremiah, we hear the prophet’s lament: “They have dug a pit for me.” He is rejected for speaking God’s truth, repaid good with evil.

"For seventy years, Mother Mary has protected and guided our diocese," Bishop Henry Eikhlein said. He invited all to give thanks for her maternal care.

The Word of God calls us to examine the authenticity of our faith.

Today, the Word of God invites us into a divine economy of breathtaking generosity—an economy where the measure we use for others becomes the measure God uses for us, and where mercy is both our plea to God and our calling from Him.

Today’s readings map this journey for us, from the first uncertain steps of faith to the radiant revelation of God’s promise fulfilled.

We are called to nothing less than perfection: “Be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.”

A persistent human temptation is to believe that our spiritual state is fixed—that we are either essentially good or irredeemably flawed, and that our past actions have sealed our fate.

Bishop John Mung Ngawn La Sam of Myitkyina Diocese made his first pastoral visit to Htingnan (St. John) Parish from February 9 to 11, 2026, discovering a thriving Catholic community hidden in the remote Mali Hkrang Wa Lawng triangle area.

Today’s readings give us a stunning portrait of this surrender—the kind of prayer that does not seek to manipulate God, but places our entire situation into His loving hands, trusting in His goodness above all.
