Homily for the Memorial of St. Patrick

We often define our success by what we accumulate, such as money, possessions, or achievements. However, those of us with faith are called to invest our love, care, and compassion in others without expecting anything in return. Love and mercy are what truly matter in God's eyes.

Jesus, our greatest teacher, guides us to love one another without limits, just as God loves us. This profound love is the key to our eternal treasures in heaven, a reward beyond measure.

Let us pray that God opens our hearts and minds, guiding us to focus on the ultimate goal of our actions in this life: the heavenly reward that awaits us. This divine promise should inspire and motivate us in our daily lives.
